Garage door configuration problem

Configuration

1

I am controlling my garage door with a espeasy flashed esp8266 nodemcu board. I also have reed sensor to check if it is open or closed (no tilt/travel sensor) connected to same esp8266 board.
I currently check it’s state using node-red. Sometimes the status goes out of sync (because of wifi dropping mqtt packet etc). So in node-red I query espeasy’s status json to get latest state (open/close) before executing any action (when a new garage related mqtt message/command arrives)

Now I am migrating to HA. In HA I tried creating a ‘cover’ mqtt entity.However, I am not sure how to solve the out of sync problem.
Is it possible that whenever there is a mqtt message or any event triggered from HA, then HA calls the rest api and get updates correct status , and then continues the flow ?

I’ve D1 mini flashed with ESPHome and have two reed switches (top and bottom) on the garage door cover. This code has been working for me without any problems even after power outages.
