Control homekit enabled garage door from HomeAssistant?

Hi,

Please forgive me in case I’m asking a stupid question… :slight_smile:

I’m trying to control my homekit enabled garage door from HomeAssistant.

First I enabled the homekit controller component (HomeKit Device - Home Assistant) in discovery configuration section.

HomeAssistant then identified the homekit accesory and I was able to successfully pair it using the homekit code.

I also noticed the message below in the homeassistant log:

[nice spa it4wifi 575x] changed to configured

The garage door opener UI control does not end up in the homeassistant UI.

There are no warnings in the UI, but after enabling the homekit-controller logger I noticed the messages below:

2018-12-29 17:02:23 INFO (SyncWorker_12) [homeassistant.components.homekit_controller] Setting up Homekit device Nice Spa - IT4WIFI - 575x

2018-12-29 17:02:23 INFO (SyncWorker_12) [homeassistant.loader] Loaded configurator from homeassistant.components.configurator

2018-12-29 17:02:24 DEBUG (SyncWorker_12) [homeassistant.components.homekit_controller] Found accessory-information

2018-12-29 17:02:24 DEBUG (SyncWorker_12) [homeassistant.components.homekit_controller] Found garage-door-opener

2018-12-29 17:02:24 DEBUG (SyncWorker_12) [homeassistant.components.homekit_controller] Found Unknown Service: d639b30a-0268-4824-9f82-cb03b449d5f0

Or is this behavior expected, since, as noted in the documentation, the “garage-door-opener” device type is not yet supported in homeassistant homekit controller?

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

  • [Climate]
  • [Light]
  • [Switch]

thanks in advance,
