I know you specifically asked about an RF transmitter but if your already running homebridge and if it’s on a raspberry pi then I’d recommend the homebridge-raspi-gpio-garagedoor plugin. It controls the garage door off the pi’s gpio pins (which does mean wires directly from your pi to the garage so location is a factor). I spent about $10 on parts (a relay and a reed sensor) wired it up and have been running it for a couple years now. Shows up as an actual garage door in Home and works like a champ

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
