Notify! End a live activity. MyQ Door closed.

Clear the garage Live Activity when the door closes

How this automation works

The half that puts your mind at rest. When your MyQ garage door closes, Notify! marks the Live Activity shut and clears it from your Lock Screen half a minute later, so the tile is only ever there when the door actually is open.
