I'm leaning towards "he's lying, and is guilty". But who knows the world is crazy anymore.

"Plead Guilty" ... If it was a railroad, as he states in the article, I think I'd have gone with an innocent plea.

We have a large one just off the kitchen in the garage hanging just outside the door, and a small one in the kitchen.

I bought the large one after a house all but burnt down up the street like 7-8 years ago.

It supports earbuds from watching a random YT video about it that popped up on my feed from the creators

Ya, no... I bought a gocontrol garage opener to make mine smart, but its only designed to short the two wires together (simulating a door bell style button). Unfortunately, that just doesn't work here since those wires are carrying data when connected to the enhanced wall units.

So, I bought a little project box, wired the gocontrol to a standard 12vdc relay with wires running from that to the wall unit. I soldered those to the physical button on the circuit board.

Interesting, this has been in place quite a while and we haven't experienced random openings or closes.

My openers are from 2009, and have no MyQ stuff . Chamberlain Elite units with motion/temp sensors on the wall unit. That is what caused my issues with using the gocontrol units directly. The wire between the wall unit and motor carries some signal and is not just shorted out to trigger the door.

Ya I wired the relay to that button on my wall unit to trigger the door since the signal wire between it and the motor wasn't just a contact switch triggering it.

I'd never heard of ratgdo before, pretty interesting setup. I have two gocontrol units I had to modify to work with my non door bell type wall units. I had to put a relay between the gocontrol and my opener button on the wall unit because it wouldn't trigger the doors. The ratgdo would up my game with light control.

I bought gocontrol units for my dumb garage door openers and had to build a relay system to get it to work with the intelligence wall plates as they were not just shorting out to trigger the door.

But it should work with any new non smart opener if I wanna stay away from proprietary crap
