Yep, PoE switch hung off the router in the garage. My shed in the yard is in a good central place to put cams watching my garage and the side of the house most likely to be approached. I have 3 PoE cams mounted to the shed and a 4-port PoE switch inside which is hung off a gig switch. You can buy a decent managed 9-port switch with 4 PoE ports and four regular ports, plus a gig upload port. They’re not that pricey.

Apple Homekit centric, but still a good list.

Any chance of being able to hard wire a controller into your network? If so, I highly recommend the iSmartgate Lite. It has a USB port, so you can add one of their USB to Ethernet adapters to hard wire it. I could never get a Meross opener I had to work consistently on wifi, so I went with the iSmartgate Lite and hard wired it. It’s been more than a year now and it has never failed me.

OTOH, if you only have wifi available, you can get the iSmartgate Pro that uses wifi and has a few other cool bells and whistles. It will work for multiple doors. If you go with the Lite version, you’ll need one controller for each door.

As for the opener itself, if you can get the door to open by shorting across the two connections from a wired switch, then pretty much any smart controller will work with it.

I had the same issue. My garage walls have a fire retardant layer of foil covered foam board. It screws with the wifi, I think. I finally went with an iSmartgate opener with a USB-to-Ethernet adapter and hard wired it into my network. That was about a year ago and it hasn’t fail even a single time. I realize not everyone is in a situation where you can hard wire an opener, but if you can, it’s worth the effort.
