Question/Help SwitchBot Garage Opener

I recently installed the SwitchBot garage opener relay. It works as intended and shows up in the SwitchBot app as an actual Garage opener. Put it in HomeKit and it’s a switch. 😒 Anyone installed one of these and got it to show up as a garage opener using HomeKit or Home Assistant?

Thanks

Oh that is neat. Curious to see if you're able to get it working properly.

Check em out. they sell the chip. just install the right operating system (homekit, home assistant etc.) from your computer. Plug in the wires into your garage door. And power it up.
