I use MyQ, but can live without it and it's a shitty app anyway. Not sure why even bother having a smart phone without Wallet and Auto though. Unless you live in a city where nobody drives and everyone still takes cash?

To be honest, not having tap to pay is a pain but not a dealbreaker. I can still use my bank card to tap.

Not having android auto is annoying, but only one of my cars even has it. So already used to not using it.

MyQ Maybe has a workaround, I've found Zwave garage door openers that I can hook to my home automation which should solve that. Just gotta spend the $$

That's exactly what I did, except I went the Meross route instead of zwave to save some $. My house is split between zwave for critical stuff and wifi/zigbee/matter for stuff that I don't really care about and don't want to waste zwave money on.

$20 and MyQ can go fuck itself. Unexpected benefit is that because Meross controller emulates physical button press, it skips the delay and loud beeping/lights flashing warning that MyQ implemented on remote door close.

I guess you could use Samsung watch for nfc payments, but you lose a bunch of functionality without Samsung phone.
