Use of "shutters" instead of "sensors" or "switches" as accessories? #6

Thanks for this great plugin. It works very well with my smart home using homee (https://hom.ee)!

Is it possible to use shutters with the plugin, instead of switches, so that I can say: Hey Siri, open or close the garage door?

Up_url /down_url instead of on_url / off_url? Other icons, like for a garage door?

Thanks a lot.

I have no devices to develop and test shutters, but you can contribute sourcecode.

@medicus07 I am attempting to work on this today for my garage door project. What do your URLs for up/down look like? I only need to use one URL (like a button on a standard garage door).

I spent some time on this and was able to get most pieces working for my garage door effort, but continued to get hung up on preventing the relays on my remote RPI from firing (again) when status was manually updated (like when I click my door remote), as well as having an issue with the intermediary states of opening/closing. I was using andrewshilliday's garage-door-controller app on my RPI Zero and that needed some changes as well, but I managed to get that part working. My challenge here was with the "state" variable of this plugin which is a boolean... and the garage door characteristics are not all booleans... Anyway, I got frustrated with the time spent and decided throw the towel in an go a different route of just installing homebridge on my RPI Zero and went with using KraigM's homebridge-gpio-garagedoor plugin - which I got configured and running in about 5 minutes. This is still a fantastic plugin which I use - so thank you for developing it! It just didn't make sense to spend more effort on this.

Garage door is now supported due to #34
