Thinking about replacing my two openers and want to tie those into my HomeKit world. With the recent news from Chamberlain, I’m looking for suggestions about other brands. Looks to me like the Meross WiFi opener and a not-smart opener might be the way to go (or just ignore the smart part since they all seem to be proprietary). I looked at Genie openers

Any suggestions?

    You can get Zigbee enabled relays for fairly cheap, if you have a network to connect it to. Otherwise if you know what you’re doing (and want to put the time into it) a raspberry pi pico/esp32 and a single channel relay will do what you want for under $30 (not including cost of hardware for a Home Assistant machine if you don’t have one). And you won’t have a proprietary thing to worry about.
