Here is a helpful solution that I set up for my newer type chamberlain MyQ overhead garage door opener. The way I understand is the I/O Linc is analog and the MyQ opener is digital so basically that’s why you can’t open your door connecting your Insteon device & UD Mobile /  Geofence. The attached photos will explain everything. Keep in mind you could run a long speaker wire to mount the wireless remote near the back door of your garage or any extended area from the Insteon Device. I hope this helps everyone…!

Excellent job.  

 

Just be careful what you use to control a GD.  

In my experience, the IO Linc reliability was not sufficient to connect to a GD controller, especially with a wall transformer right next to the IO Linc

Nice. I did exactly the same thing last year to interface my I/O Linc when I had to replace my old chamberlin opener.  I was not happy to realize they’d changed their opener system.  I have my hacked remote opener attached to the garage opener support bracket.

I had two Chamberlain GD openers. The first one gave my ISY system intermittent problems for ten year that I thought was my house electrical inverter. When I got the second GD opener with MyQ and battery backup, it crippled my whole Insteon  system from electrical and RF noise.

Two FilterLincs cured that problem.

I added a dual band lamplinc in the garage to help with signal reliability. Has been working fine.

Adding a dual band module. In the pass trough outlet is a good move as the I/OLinc is power line only. Adding the pass through module was recommended by Smarthome and now Insteon company.

Getting a dual band SwitchLinc for the garage lights would be a usable pass though module, especially if it is on the same electrical branch circuit with your garage door openers.

Now you could have automatic shutoff of the garage lights also, as well as increased lighting when the garage doors are operated.
