| ESPHome | Partly works Local | Dry contact firmware has reports of incorrect door status; Security+ 2.0 mode recommendedSaved copyIf you have a Security+ 2.0 opener, the RATGDO all the way. There is nothing better, hands-down. If you have any other opener/if you plan to use dry contact mode, I'd recommend against the RATGDO - I've seen a few reports lately of incorrect door status with the dry contact firmware, and also, using dry contact mode requires _two_ limit switches for door status (which aren't included). Other garage door automation solutions only need one sensor to be installed. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-02 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
