Chamberlain Group—the proprietor of many of the storage door opener manufacturers like LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Merlin, and Grifco—would really like its prospects to cease doing sensible residence issues with its “myQ” sensible storage door openers. The corporate just lately issued an announcement decrying “unauthorized utilization” of its sensible storage door openers. That is “unauthorized utilization” by the individuals who purchased the storage door opener, by the best way. Mainly, Chamberlain’s prospects wish to set off the storage door and see its standing by way of third-party sensible residence apps, and Chamberlain does not need that.
This is the assertion:
Chamberlain Group just lately made the choice to stop unauthorized utilization of our myQ ecosystem by way of third-party apps.
This choice was made in order that we are able to proceed to supply the very best expertise for our 10 million+ customers, in addition to our licensed companions who put their belief in us. We perceive that this impacts a small proportion of customers, however in the end it will enhance the efficiency and reliability of myQ, benefiting all of our customers.
We encourage those that had been impacted to take a look at our licensed companions right here: https://www.myq.com/works-with-myq.
We caught wind of this assertion by way of the Dwelling Assistant weblog, a preferred open supply sensible residence platform. The myQ integration is being stripped from the venture as a result of it does not work anymore. Allegedly, Chamberlain has been sabotaging Dwelling Assistant help for some time now, with the mixing maintainer, Lash-L, telling the Dwelling Assistant weblog, “We’re taking part in a recreation of cat and mouse with MyQ and proper now it appears to be like just like the cat is successful.”
