The only issue i have is the inability to Schedule the "Light Switch" toggling. Are there plans to allow this feature, where we can turn ON or OFF a light on a schedule?
Seems this would be a simple addition to the app.

We have several concepts, features and products on our product roadmap for 2016 and beyond, all designed to bring the greatest experience to consumers in and around the home. We’ll share these product details as soon as we can, and we encourage you to keep an eye on the Liftmaster website, which is where we feature new products as they’re introduced.

I agree with this request. Scheduling should be a rather simple feature to add and would open a huge market for folks that are looking for limited home automation.

I absolutely concur with Chris on this. Adding the ability to schedule the on/off switching via a web based program would make this a fantastic and very affordable system. LiftMaster are sitting on huge untapped potential here, the advantage being that people are getting this capability by merely choosing one of their garage door openers. Unfortunately, they might sit on their hands too long and miss the boat before another company supplies an alternative solution...

Please, please, please create the ability to schedule lights.
Either through your app or expose at least expose it in your API so that others can add the functionality in their products such as Wink App.
Also stop wasting time trying to keep things fenced into MyQ. There are a lot of good platforms with developers that actually address the needs of their customers in a timely manner. Focus on your hardware and publish your API for others to work with. Wink, HomeWorks, OpenHAB, IFTTT are all very powerful platforms related to home automation. With a public API you can be incorporated with all of them. For some the integration will be done for you by their developers allowing you to spend more resources on creating innovative hardware.
You are so far behind all the other home automation systems trying to catch up now is pointless. Customers don't want to have a dozen different home automation controllers. Anyone who cares about home automation that has a MyQ gateway is primarily using it for their garage door. Anyone who also has the MyQ Light Switches primarily uses them so they turn on and off when the garage door operates or via the keychain remote. They're not putting your switches on lights that don't service the garage area because your switches lack dimming and scheduling capabilities. So they buy other wireless dimmers and realize they can set those up to come on and off based on the garage door through wink too. Instead of buying more MyQ switches, they buy more of another brand and become invested in that system. Those of us that bought these switches feel like we wasted money. -

JavaWebDev, check this out: http://docs.unofficialliftmastermyq.apiary.io/#reference/default/system-detail I was able to interact with the API, works well. Someone even wrote a module for SmartThings device, though I haven't tested it. Agree with these responses 1000%.
I don't understand where this MyQ fits in LiftMasters overall plan. They could really improve it, however it doesn't appear they have interest in doing so. -

Chris,
I saw that undocumented api info a while ago. The only service it describes is how to login, query devices and find device state.
Thanks for the info on how someone integrated it with SmarthThings. That helped reveal some of the other services of the API that weren't document in the undocumented page but looking around it seems that there are some issues. At least once the API was changed to where it broke the SmartThings integration. The API isn't officially documented and there is no developer support community which makes it difficult to use.
I played around with it a little but following what the SmartThings code is doing I keep getting "The requested URL was rejected." whenever I try to turn the light on with the API.
The ability to schedule lights is such a basic feature. I can't think of another lighting control product that doesn't have this feature. -

Can't believe that there is no light scheduling. Put my driveway lights on a myQ switch for the sole purpose of scheduling. Seemed like such a basic feature that I never considered it didn't exist. Uninstalling now to return.
