Now I know never to buy Chamberlain products in my home, and recommend anyone I know doesn't either.
Seems expected after the courts stopped enforcing the Sherman Antitrust Act and started allowing vertical restraints.
I know there are a lot more steps to it but my mind was telling me that the motor mechanism is a solved problem. Could perhaps even buy the barebones parts to assemble locally. The magic or at least what is the most interesting for me is providing the integration module that allows it to 1) connect to the internet or 2) connect to other local devices that can control it. Would possibly require a subscription from the internet route but not even close to the silly $45 a year Chamberlain charges.
