Smart GDO garage door motor (Tuya clone)	Requested	Suggested Tuya plugin or Ratgdo; no confirmed working solution. Saved copy Pretty sure your app "Smart GDO" is a Tuya clone. Which means : 1. You can use Tuya app (or Smart Life) to control your door 2. There is a Tuya / Smart Life plugin for Homebridge Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2025-04
