| PalGate gate controller (multiple gates per device) | Works | Multiple gates on one device supportedSaved copyJust a little more elaboration about the changes. In my home I have two gates, that are both under the same device. When I check for devices using the api this is the result: [code] So I checked online and saw this issue https://github.com/ShonP40/ha-palgate/pull/18 about how to tackle this and implemented the solution into the homebridge plugin. The next problem I saw was that the device are not recognised automatically and I can't add it manually because I can only add custom gates if they're showing on the API, so I fixed that as well Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | PR #15 · 2025-11 |
