myq is a Go package and command-line tool providing access to the Liftmaster / Chamberlain MyQ API.

With the MyQ API you can get a list of devices and open and close garage doors and gates.

The myq tool can be installed with:

go install github.com/joeshaw/myq/cmd/myq@latest

Run myq by itself to see full usage information.

To list devices:

myq -username <username> -password <password> devices

To open a door:

myq -username <username> -password <password> open <device ID>

To close a door:

myq -username <username> -password <password> open <device ID>

Usernames and passwords can also be provided through the environment variables MYQ_USERNAME and MYQ_PASSWORD.

David Pfeffer's MyQ API reference on Apiary was a helpful reference.

David also has an implementation in Ruby: https://github.com/pfeffed/liftmaster_myq

ArrayLab has a Python implementation: https://github.com/arraylabs/pymyq

J. Nunn has a Python implementation that ties in with Amazon Alexa: https://github.com/jbnunn/Alexa-MyQGarage

HJD has a JavaScript implementation: https://github.com/hjdhjd/myq

In October and November 2023, MyQ made their API much harder to access by third parties. See this article on The Verge for more details.

I've replaced my MyQ Wifi module with a Ratgdo, which I strongly recommend. As a result, I am no longer maintaining this project.
