Sorry only cloud control without feedback.? However, there are discrete open/close commands which really works around many feedback issues.? Especially compared to tying a relay in parallel with a wall mounted garage controller that just toggles the door open/close.??
?I personally use a one of these? connected wirelessly to a non-alarm zone on an integrated security system to provide true feedback.? It is much more reliable?than worrying about whether a cloud service really knows what is going on and even provides feedback if the garage door is released from the opener and manually opened.
Unfortunately, you can only implement a module based on what the manufacturer provides in terms of an API.

Local or cloud control? I know you are not a fan so hoping it is local.?
However, from the brief skim of the ReadMe it looks like there is no feedback of the door status. Is that the case? I know MyQ has shut down previous attempts to provide fb (unless you subscribe to their service) so I will not be surprised.?
