I've done some searches to see if MyQ works with Smartthings and several sources says it does, but when I try to add a garage door, MyQ is not listed as one of the options.

Hi, I have just added a Meross garage door closer to my garage door opener and it works well, I now want to create something in the SmartThings app (new version) that checks the garage door at 10pm and if it is open closes it.

I know this might be a stupid question, but I’ve just installed that SmartThings community installer and trying to integrate it with nest, but when I try to login to nest, it just comes up with a blank screen that doesn’t load.
