Are there any plans to improve the integration with google home? For instance, the ability to open and close from the google home app? Also, any plans to add push functionality instead of the polling it currently does?
Nope…these instructions are garbage. I’ve been waiting more than a year. Please provide CLEAR and CORRECT instructions to use with Google Home/Assistant.
Do you have an update when Google Home will work with the opener?
Thanks David

Google Home just released a skill for garage door openers. We are working on that ability, and would expect to see this occur in early 2020."
@Saurin – We do not have a time frame on the IFTTT integration right now.
Do you plans to support Apple HomeKit and IFTTT? If yes, what is the timeline.
Thanks!
