Works like magic! AKA: The hours of hard work from a talented individual
I did as @CharlieH suggested and copied the new .xml, .json. lua files and it immediately logged me in and i am now able to open and close the garage door.
The issue that i am having now and looking for some advice on is that I now get a message:
Event Watcher[22] : Startup Lua Failed
i found the Event Watched files on GitHub and uploaded them but that did not help so restored from back up and re-applied the MyQ update and i am still getting the same error (after updating MyQ).
