One good thing still about Chamberlain garage door openers is that the screw terminal to wire up the wall switch is still accessible. So when I recently had my garage door replaced, I never bothered to activate the MyQ crap that came with it. I simply wired up my old Z-wave garage door opener module and sensor via two small wires to the two terminal screws. Then paired the module to HASS.

Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if one day companies like these block access to the terminal leads for the wall switch and replace it with some proprietary cable connector and switch.
