Hi all,

I need help to making my installed DC Moto gate to be recognised as a Garage Door in the Home app of iOS.

Appreciate your help. Details in the other thread.

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.

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?
