Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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

I use a Meross. Works very well with HomeKit.

MyQ was always a piece of garbage for me. Damn thing would error out and become non responsive after 5-10 openings, and would require a reboot. Could never figure out the root issue. Tech support was worthless. My hunch is that it doesn’t play nicely with Unifi equipment, or I’m getting interference from industrial sites nearby.

I have the same issues as you; to make matters worse, it doesn't like any of the Android phones I have so I have to borrow someone's iPhone just to hook the damn thing back up.

Unless you absolutely need MyQ because of a 3rd party integration, I’d really suggest ditching it. The only problem I’ve ever had with the Meross was when my local DNS (AdGuard Home) got flaky — and I can’t really blame that on Meross. Other than that, it’s been rock solid.

I absolutely plan to. It's an unreliable piece of shit.
