Garage door via Tasmota relay in HomeKit Bridge

Yell into an open window “hey siri close the garage doors”. Siri will try and close an already closed door and the tasmota relay will open it instead This is a useful reminder that any security-related items should probably not be voice controlled. Expose lights and other conveniences as you want, but opening doors, disabling security? Nah. For a bonus, my electric garage door is electrically isolated when the security system is set, so even if someone wanted to interfere with it using a wireless door opener, it wouldn't work without them first getting through the alarm system.
