Home automation is the residential extension of building automation.

It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

Thinking about replacing my two openers and want to tie those into my HomeKit world. With the recent news from Chamberlain, I'm looking for suggestions about other brands. Looks to me like the Meross WiFi opener and a not-smart opener might be the way to go (or just ignore the smart part since they all seem to be proprietary). I looked at Genie openers

Any suggestions?

I went with Meross and integrated into Home Assistant. It was a super easy install.

Question, does the Meross require cloud access for any of its functions? Was reading their site, and that wasn't clear to me.
