Ratgdo

Meross is a completely different category of device than Ratgdo. Ratgdo communicates directly with your opener for exact door position, door status, door control, light status, light control, obstruction sensor status, and even keypad motion sensor status.

On my doors in HomeKit (not using ratgdo) I have to tap the “door” icon to open it rather than the whole button which opens a big screen to switch it open. Simple but some folks don’t see that. Maybe setting in HomeBridge Ratgdo plugin that isn’t set right? I had an old chaimberlain and just put a Meross opener on it. Got tired of that one getting lost on my Chamberlain Homehub. My newer Chamberlain works fine. I didn’t realize the ratgdo existed until recently. Would have been nice not to have had to add the sensor.

I did the same thing. For some reason the HB plugin just stopped working for the life of me I couldn’t figure it out. Reflashed ratgdo with HomeKit build and back in business

Thanks for the contribution. This PR needs refactoring before I would include it, but I’ll take that on for inclusion in the next release of HBR. Thanks again.
