Isn’t that what the garage door obstruction sensors are for? For what it’s worth, I currently have RATGDO integrated through HomeKit (for reasons I won’t go into) and at least for me the obstruction sensors in HA update almost instantly. Less than half a second.

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.
