I wanted to give a thumbs up on this myself. I've been itching to get my 3 liftmasters working with Homeseer and your motivation to create a plug-in motivated me to try it. Works well for my setup. Thank you.

I've just uploaded v1.2.6920.1424, adding support for voice commands. There are also instructions on the release page detailing how to enable voice commands for already-existing devices (and you don't need to update for that to work if you follow the instructions, though I recommend that you update regardless as this adds stability improvements).
HS3 doesn't have any concept of opening or closing doors, only for locking and unlocking them. But on my Google Home at least, telling the Assistant to "open the garage door" works fine, although it responds that it's "unlocking" it.

It would be a great if a image of the devices was added to the instructions as well.HomeSeer Version: HS3 Standard Edition 3.0.0.548

Isn’t there a status child device that gives the state of the door? I want to be able to test the state of the door. When using an 8500 series opener that would be locked, closed, opening, partial open and stopped, opened and closing.HomeSeer Version: HS3 Standard Edition 3.0.0.548

I ordered my Liftmaster Internet Gateway which should be here by Wednesday the 19th. Already have the account setup and will be loading the driver in the morning.
I’ve been thinking about what was said about the polling attracting attention of the manufacture. I’m thinking one could monitor the power on the opener then when HS detects the power spike raise the polling rate from say once 60 seconds to once every second till the power level drops. One should be able to use any power monitor that HS can monitor. I assume that plunging can monitor the state of other devices.
———————————————————-
Afteri have mine up and running I’m going to fire up wire shark, my network is setup so I can monitor devices, and see what the network traffic looks like between the gateway and liftmaster. I’ll let you know if it look like the traffic is decipherable or if it’s all encrypted.
The idea would be to intercept the status, using a raspberry pi acting as a man in the middle, letting everything pass to the net and sending the status it intercepts to the plugin. The question is if there is software out there that can capture that data as it passes through the pi as writing that level of software is something I’ve never done.HomeSeer Version: HS3 Standard Edition 3.0.0.548

A simpler option may be to use an inexpensive garage door tilt sensor and just poll once about 30 seconds (or however long your garage door typically takes to go from open to closed and vice-versa) after it detects motion.
I currently have an Open and Closed door sensor on my door. I use them to simulate the various functions of my Liftmaster 8500 series opener. I could also use them. However by the time you pay for either a tilt sensor or a couple of door sensors you could purchase a ZOOZ ZEN15 power switch, see below, to detect motion. Just make sure to set it so it always powers on during a power outage.
The reason I like this better is that you can detect when the door moves after you have stopped it during a partial open. So the way I'd do it is anytime the ZOOZ show the load above a given range the polling would move to the fast rate and when the load dropped to it's idle level the polling would go to the slow rate after a couple of seconds. They have a wall plug version, ZEN06, but it's not recommended for this application.
I really like the ZOOM switch. I use two of them on our washer and dryer so we know when they are running or have finished. The HS3 handler is very complete and I've not had any issue with it.
When they first came out they use a right angled plus but it ran the court straight down so you could only use one in a given outlet. I complained about that and they change the design so the cord now comes off and a 45 degree angle so you can now put two in an outlet. What I really liked is that they contacted me after they made the change and offered to swap any I had of the old style. Now that's customer service.
I did some more checking and ZOOZ doesn't recommend using the smart plug, ZEN06, with anything with a motor so stick with the ZEN15.
