Ditching MyQ for OpenGarage - Open Source Garage Door Control in c/[email protected]

Right, but the opener is already there and installed. Plus, it does give you all the information and control over that interface. Buying a ratgdo for $30 and adding it into your Liftmaster opener is still a better situation than a dumb opener and a dumb switch. The dumb switch doesn't give you open/closed/stopped status, lights, etc.

If I were to buy a new opener, I would probably get a liftmaster + ratgdo again anyway

I don't know about him, but I really don't want to be screwing around replacing my openers

That would be neat, but I really doubt it will ever happen

What don't you like about ratgdo? It seems pretty good on paper, I've not yet got one in my hands. Hopefully soon

What I can't figure out now is if I want to replace OpenGarage when my Ratgdo arrives. It has a lot more features, but do I care now I have OpenGarage setup? Unsure

Hopefully this fits here? Its self hosted, but not quite what the usual self hosted post would be. I've not seen any real reviews of these, so I figured I'd post

VM's and Containers I am Running - 2023 (blog.networkprofile.org)
 

Last time I posted a full writeup on my lab (The before before this) there was a lot of questions on what exactly I was running at home. So here is a full writeup on everything I am running, and how you can run it too

SMTP Relay Questions (lemmy.world)
 

I use O365 Business (Or whatever the heck they call it now) for my email, so for SMTP on all my devices at home, I use an O365 account with an app password, sending as a distro-group so it can have a custom name

This works, but I don't like how every device/server has O365 creds in it. I am thinking I should setup an SMTP Relay at home locally, which sends to O365 (Or Sendgrid, etc etc) and then SMTP on local services can just point to that local address

Is this the right way to go about it? What is the current best software do it? I've only ever had experience using IIS to do this, and of course I don't want to be running windows!
