QUOTE(dblcss @ Sep 23 2022, 06:43 PM) If I'm not wrong with DC Moto Iot also cannot link to any third party Alexa, Google Home,Zigbee & etc. The DC Moto boss so kiamsiap and keep thinking of himself worry ppl steal his design. So just get a DC Moto remote solder modified to tuya or ewelink or zigbee module if u want it to work. I have purchased the Terncy smart module which is compatible with HomeKit. Just not sure how I should be wiring them. This post has been edited by vincent_ng86: Sep 23 2022, 07:02 PM

QUOTE(epicure @ Oct 18 2022, 11:08 AM) Hey OP, I’ve got a 2 channel works with ewelink module installed. Previously only able to use it via ewelink app and voice (Siri or Google assistant). However, i wanted also to use it within Apple Homekit. I realised that i have many other smart home devices that i wanted to unify under Homekit. So i got myself a raspberry Pi, and installed Homebridge. Then i added the ewelink plugin to get autogate into Homekit. I wasnt satisfied yet, because athough i could use the autogate in homekit, it wasnt showing as a garage door. So i installed the garage door plugin and linked it to the ewelink switch. Tada. Now when i drive home, on my carplay screen, i can tap the garage door, and my gate opens. TLDR : Get Raspberry Pi, Install Homebridge, install plugins, and switch becomes garage door in Homekit. Thanks, may I know which plugin did you install?
