… state means locked and use relay feedback for the owner's bolt. Two relays operating a mechanical bolt do not supply physical bolt-position sensing. The Aqara opener output is a separate named motor path; check its pulse lengths and released state independently. Homebridge mappings use the source bridge's HAP accessory port and privately stored PIN, with unpaired accessory control/insecure mode enabled. Discovery pins the bridge identity, accessory fingerprint and service. Supported services include GarageDoorOpener, LockMechanism, Switch/Lightbulb and supported button inputs. Choose feedback …

deCONZ relays for bolt/lockWorksSeparate lock/unlock relays with momentary pulses supported
Saved copy
The bolt can require independent lock and unlock outputs, including short ON/OFF pulses. The existing bolt adapter only supports one maintained output. Add a deCONZ Bolt relay setup choice under Devices → Bolt / Lock. Single relay keeps existing behavior. Separate mode requires selecting both outputs and one coordinated HomeKit Lock tile, automatically checked and required. Optional momentary operation defaults to 0.2 seconds; maintained mode releases the opposite output before activation. Both outputs are pinned and exclusively reserved. Pulse results are labeled command estimates, forgotten …

Tailwind garage door controllerWorksLocal control key; closed sensor, optional second sensor for fully-open
Saved copy
Device checks and feedback The operational test build keeps checks separate from enabling a garage. An uncommissioned profile makes no startup hardware requests. Discovery and explicit probes read identities/current values without actuator writes. A commissioned profile also observes devices during operation. Use owner-test.md and the validated revisions in status.md for installation. Homebridge settings provides device discovery, private connection-key entry and Check connections. From 0.4.2, the Homebridge settings check also verifies each motor relay is released and each enabled physical …

Tailwind optional open-position sensorWorksSpare Tailwind input gives confirmed fully-open position
Saved copy
A single Tailwind contact reports closed or not-closed, so the controller previously estimated fully-open arrival. A spare Tailwind input can now supply a second physical endpoint without connecting another opener. Add a checkbox and distinct input picker under the garage's Tailwind device. Link it to Behavior → A sensor confirms fully open; reserve both inputs against competing garage mappings. Read both sensors in one response. Extra-input `close` means fully open; its Door control may remain disabled. Motor commands and control restrictions continue to use only the primary input. Replace …

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.
