Hi,

Thanks for this amazing homebridge plugin.

It would be great to can configure gpio device like garage door device. This will allow control this device from CarPlay.

Thanks

See #76.

See #76.

I don't understand that response from the thread very well, what would be nice is that it works and is configured exactly the same as a Lock or a switch, but that the device appears as a garage door, without sensors.

ebaauw commented 1 year ago

Note that a lock and switch are very different in HomeKit, in that a Lock Mechanism has a target vs current state, where a Switch only has a current state. For lock, only the target state is mapped to a GPIO, and the current state is derived from the target state. I can do something similar for garage, but I won't be able to add any sensors for the actual current state.

Could you please try beta v1.8.6-0?

AlbertoAIG commented 1 year ago

For me that would be ok, in my case, the garage door is a simple button that opens it, closes automatically and they do not have accessible status sensors.

In v1.8.6.
