I need a contact closer with HomeKit

[jasleinstein]

I need to open and close my garage door, and I don't want something like Chamberlain that sent my commands over the internet, just to open my garage door from my house using my iPhone App, hopefully along side all my other Home kit devices. . I use Gen 4 AppleTVs, casetawireless light switches, Picos, Idevices Eve, etc. I could use a caseta switch and close and open it quickly and tie a 120v relay to the output but surely there is a better way.

I simply want to make a quick close/open of a contact and tie the wires to the open/close input to my garage door opener. I thought I would use the Insteon Pro hub and attached accessories, but it seems to have serious bugs.

Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't be surprised to see HomeKit compliant garage door openers soon. Anything you do now will look crude in comparison, so I wouldn't spend too much on your solution whatever you decide. I'd like to know what you figure out, good luck
