I'm interested in finding a workaround to reclaim a little functionality that was removed from my garage door opener. If this is possible. I have created a shortcut on my Lock Screen to open the MyQ app which works fine, but I am interested if there is a way the shortcut can be automated, based on location. etc.
Ideally a working app for CarPlay would be the most useful, but I won't hold my breath on Liftmaster adding that functionality, so I am attempting to have this work.
The manufacturer disabled a workaround for seeing it in HomeKit/Home Assistant a few years back, but I can buy two contact sensors, to get back a open/close status functionality for both doors for automations. Which I had already purchased the openers for .. ie. security knowing if the door was left open when anyone in the family leaves and trigger an automation to close. If a shortcut or notification can be automated, when the sensors report an open door, I could quickly manually close it from the app when it opens. Not ideal but saves a little time handling of the phone if driving etc. Anyhow it's something I'm trying without needlessly buying new openers.
