I don't know about him, but I really don't want to be screwing around replacing my openers

That would be neat, but I really doubt it will ever happen
What don't you like about ratgdo? It seems pretty good on paper, I've not yet got one in my hands. Hopefully soon
What I can't figure out now is if I want to replace OpenGarage when my Ratgdo arrives. It has a lot more features, but do I care now I have OpenGarage setup? Unsure
I'm not bad, but I suspect I'm worse than a lot of guys out there
Zero problems, often times stuff in the house is actually hotter than stuff in the garage funnily enough, even in summer
Yes, I have a 27kw Natural Gas standby generator with an ATS. It takes 10 seconds from power failure, to it switching to generator power. So, the UPS just bridges that gap
In the extremely unlikely even the natural gas goes out, I have a 7.2kw Tri-fuel portable generator (Gasoline, NG and Propane) and I keep around 80 gallons of gasoline on hand, and I have an inlet and interlock on the main breaker, so I can switch to that if needed
its a Natural Gas generator, and it actually takes 10 SECONDS!
I don't know if I should be happy or sad
I have Bitwarden set to give my wife access if she requests it and I don't respond in X days
Things generally "just work" so she would have access to everything, and she can figure out what she wants to do. All the passwords are there and all of the configs are fairly easy for stuff she cares about anyway
Right, but the opener is already there and installed. Plus, it does give you all the information and control over that interface. Buying a ratgdo for $30 and adding it into your Liftmaster opener is still a better situation than a dumb opener and a dumb switch. The dumb switch doesn't give you open/closed/stopped status, lights, etc.
If I were to buy a new opener, I would probably get a liftmaster + ratgdo again anyway
