UniFi Relay and Garage Door Opener
I’ve been using the UniFi Protect plug-in for homebridge and it’s been working great. My HomeKit garage door opener just broke, so I installed a UniFi Relay to control my garage door opener. I can open and close the garage door fine but there are two issues.
- The UniFi Relay output shows up in HomeKit as a switch, not a garage door opener. This is a pain because I ca’t ask Siri to open the garage door, I have to ask Siri to turn on the garage door.
- The garage door state doesn’t show up in HomeKit so I can’t tell if the garage door is open.
Is there any way to get the UniFi Relay to show up as a native garage door opener with state in HomeKit? If not would this be possible with an update to the UniFi Protect plug-in for homebridge, or by switching to Home Assistant?
