I went the ratgdo route and it has been flawless so far. Integrated nicely with Home Assistant and was able to tap into the opener’s existing limit switches for a decently clean install.

It is great that everything operates as before, but now I can see the door status and operate it remotely along with all the other tricks being tied in with the home automation system, such as alerts when left open at night or triggering interior lights when returning home while dark.
