homebridge-rollertec-garage-door

A HomeBridge interface for PDT Rollertec controlled garage doors, capable of monitoring and controlling the door. Requires Lo-tech PDT Rollertec interface kit, or equivalent electrical connection. See www.lo-tech.co.uk/rollertec.

This plugin enables the use of "Hey Siri, Open my Garage Door" and similar voice commands.

Key features:

  • Monitors the current door state via the Rollertec status LED, repoing open, closed, opening, closing, or jammed status through HomeKit.
  • Can open and close the door.
  • Includes reporting of temperature from attached DS18B20 sensor, if fitted to the Lo-tech interface.

When used with the Lo-tech interface, the PDT Rollertec controller can continue to be operated as normal with both push-buttons and RF remote controls if required.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • MOVING DOORS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. NEVER OPERATE THE DOOR UNLESS YOU CAN SEE IT.
  • Not all doors are fitted with edge impact detectors, and even where fitted these should not be relied upon.
  • Not all LED flash codes are correctly interpretted. This might lead to false alerts, for example if the door controller is receiving radio interference.
  • There is no security code in this plugin and the control of access to operate the door is entirely dependent on Apple HomeKit.
  • USE OF THIS SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
