In case you missed the news about the Keyport app last week, here is the full letter.
I'm reaching out with difficult news: the Keyport app will be taken offline within the next 24-72 hours. This means you'll no longer be able to control your connected smart devices through your @OmniFob. The good news is that your Chipolo locator, remote camera trigger, and flashlight will continue to work normally.
This decision weighs heavily on me. Until my recent move, I used my OmniFob daily to control my smart home via SmartThings. Of all the products we've created over the years, OmniFob was our most ambitious, integrating hardware, firmware, and software into a compact remote with complex third-party connections, while solving the industrial design challenges of making it seamlessly work within the Keyport system. The technical challenges would be significant even for a large company, so I'm genuinely proud of what our small team achieved.
As we've grown, we've had to make tough choices about where to focus our resources. OmniFob has been sold out for nearly two years, yet we've continued to absorb significant monthly costs to keep the app running. After careful consideration, we've decided to sunset the current version of the app to concentrate on other priorities that will better serve our community going forward.
I want to sincerely thank you for your support. While we're discontinuing the app now, we may explore bringing OmniFob back in a new form in the future.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

OmniFob is the shortcut remote for your smart devices with a built-in BLE locator, mini-flashlight, & remote camera trigger. It’s like having multiple smart buttons, apps, & fobs in one remote. Works with Samsung #SmartThings and Yonomi Ecosystems.

There is now a SmartThings community written MyQ Edge driver. It does require hosting a LAN bridge server via docker or exe. It polls for the door status locally every 10 seconds, so you no longer require a separate tilt sensor. Remember to tip your devs! https://t.co/JwmQ4y9amQ
