RATGDO acting Strange Today

Configuration
1

After I updated my system to 2025.12.5 today, my Garage door opener started acting strange. It would not physically shut or open the door even though the icon on the controls in HA showed the door opening and closing. I tried raising and lowering the door several times without luck. Then I tried the “Toggle Door” button in HA for the first time and the door opened. Using the “Toggle Door” button a second time did nothing.

Looking at the activity logs, I am getting a log that the Garage door was opened and closed according to when I press the HA button. However the garage door does not physically move.

This is the System log messages I received:

I do not know how to proceed from here. It has been working flawlessly until now. I have not changed anything but updating HA. I don’t think that was the problem.

Has a power spike corrupted something? Try turning it off and on.
Any mention of breaking changes in the release notes of the latest update that may be relevant?

What happens when you press up or down from the ESPHOME device for your RATGDO.

Mine both work fine from there. But, my dashboard uses custom button-card which runs a script on tap. But, the script does not run. No trace and no error.

My locks also do not run their script from the dashboard. Other tap actions work fine.

Updated from what version

So if you use regular control it show up and down but you have no control from Ratgdo?

Can you revert to previous version to test?

Have you tried update Ratgdo? Are you using Ratgdo or esphome firmware?

OMG, I am stupid. I forgot I changed the garage icons to double tap because my wife accidentally opened one when tapping another icon.

All is working here!

@IOT7712 I am going to mark yours as the solution just because I appreciate you reminding us that sometimes just a reboot may be all you need.

For no reason i could figure, the garage door started working the next day. I did go ahead and cut power just to ensure everything was clear. Sorry i don’t have a definitive answer for someone who may have the same problem. I am just happy it is working again.

It’s called the ‘or else’ option that all hardware understands…
Probably a passing solar storm pulse. Hope it is all stable mow.
Happy New Year
