Recommendations for Garage Door Control?

My Insteon IO Linc gave up the ghost after surprisingly light use. I'm pretty resistant to just buying another.

I'm curious what other Indigo users have and recommend. I'm not likely to go for a MyQ because I want independence from 3rd party cloud resources.

I'm not resistant to going with straight HomeKit, but would prefer something that can talk directly to Indigo.

I use a z-wave controller NGD00Z on mine. Been working well for over a year.

I had the Insteon IO Link, but it would once in a while open the door un-asked. Very bad. I replaced it with FortezZ MIMOLIte IO. Had it now for about 10 months. So far so good.

(Sorry for the side question)

If purchasing new garage door opener hardware, are there any brands/models that have Z-Wave built-in, vs having to add a controller module?

Having done IOLinc... going forward, I am using the “8 Channel Relay.” It actually is an 8 channel relay, the air-quotes are because the plugin is named that. It runs over IP. The device has EIGHT triggering inputs and relays, Whereas IOLinc has one trigger and one relay, but costs the same.

+1 been using it for the last year and no issues.

This is tempting, though getting an ethernet drop to my garage door opener is daunting. I'd probably run low voltage wires toward a network drop instead. Anyone managing a wifi to ethernet solution for this hardware?

I THINK there is a wifi board available with the same functionality- might be worth looking in to.
