A list of IOT devices that are garbage
# Internet-of-Trash

A list of IOT devices that are garbage.

Reasons things get listed here:

- A device had an open API, then switched to requiring you to use their application instead of directly scraping the API
- Devices which are cloud-only
- Anything that requires you to use _their_ application and doesn't document their API


| Device | Reason it's garbage | Date | Workarounds |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------- | ---------- | ----------- |
| Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Door Controller | Chamberlain shut off all access to its APIs. See their [Press Release](https://chamberlaingroup.com/press/a-message-about-our-decision-to-prevent-unauthorized-usage-of-myq) and The Verge's [coverage](https://www.theverge.com/23949612/chamberlain-myq-smart-garage-door-controller-homebridge-integrations) | 2023-11-07 ||
| Philips Hue | Philips is forcing users to "upgrade" to a version of their Philips app that requires login to a cloud account. See [How-To Geek](https://www.howtogeek.com/philips-hue-will-soon-require-online-accounts-to-control-lights/) | 2023-11-07 | Use a generic Zibgee coordinator instead of the Philips one |
| Mazda. Yes, Mazda. | The Home Assistant Blog has [details](https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/10/13/removal-of-mazda-connected-services-integration/), tl;dr is that they sent a cease and desist order to the Mazda Home Assistant Integration's Author | |
