Important
HomeKit firmware for ESP8266-based RATGDO v2.5-series devices has been in maintenance mode since version 2.2.0: updates continue on a best-effort basis, but feature parity with ESP32 is no longer guaranteed. See README.md
v2.2.4 (2026-09-08)
What's Changed
- Bugfix: Obstruction status GPIO pin was inverted (did not match documentation), see ratgdo/homekit-ratgdo32#199
- Bugfix: Add support to report door status through GPIO pin, see ratgdo/homekit-ratgdo32#199
Known Issues
- Sec+ 1.0 doors with digital wall panel (e.g. 889LM) sometimes do not close after a time-to-close delay. Please watch your door to make sure it closes after TTC delay.
- Sec+ 1.0 doors with "0x37" digital wall panel (e.g. 398LM) not working. We now detect but will not support them. Recommend replacing with 889LM panel.
- When creating automations in Apple Home, the garage door may show only lock/unlock and not open/close as triggers. This is a bug in Apple Home. Workaround is to use the Eve App to create the automation, it will show both options.
- ESP8266 (original ratgdo) only... possible crash when a storm of HomeKit messages arrives... which may be triggered on a upgrade of Apple iOS/tvOS/etc. versions. System recovers.
