I don't have an automated garage door opener. The only "garage" is as old as our historic house, and is a glorified shed. I would never put a car I cared about in it.
That said, I _do_ have an automated gate controller. The installer wanted some insane amount to connect it to wifi. Politely no. An esp32, a couple of relays, some reading in the installation manual about control circuits and a bit of custom code... And now the gate is on local wifi, easily integrated with HA, and nothing opaque about it.
Do garage door openers have the same sort of control circuits?
