Homebridge HTTP Tasmota Garage Door Opener

This is a homebridge plugin to connect with a Sonoff Relay Board with Tasmota firmware and open/close garage doors using HTTP requests via the Home app on iOS using Homekit.

Modified after https://github.com/atombarel/homebridge-tasmota-garage-opener for my needs.

Features are:

• Can set autoclosing timer
• Can set opening and closure timers different from each other
• Can set also 0 as openCloseTime, useful for doors or gates with locks that can be open but not closed again
• Can choose the relay to trigger (mapping done in index.js, don’t know if they are the same for every Sonoff)

Just add the following config to your homebridge config file located at this (default) path ~/.homebridge/config.json.

    }
  ],

}

• openCloseTime - set if open and close time is identical without openingTime or closureTime
• openingTime and closureTime - optional - if they are different (time that the gate takes to open and close)
• user - optional - Tasmota username. Default: admin
• password - optional - Tasmota password. Default: empty string
• timeBeforeClosure - used for autoclosing using same command after requiered timeBeforeClosure time, if - autoCloseByCommand is set TRUE, it will send a close command after the specified time
• autoCloseByCommand - false (false -> will NOT send a close command, in conjunction with timeBeforeClosure can be used to simulate the gate closing by itself after interval set by timeBeforeClosure)

Upgrading from v1.x

Version 2.0.0 updates compatibility metadata for Homebridge 2 and Node.js 20/22/24. It also replaces the deprecated request dependency with the native Node.js fetch API.

No configuration change is required for existing users. If omitted, user defaults to admin and password defaults to an empty string.

Also a openCloseTime = 0 can be set for these doors/gates that have just a lock to open.

The advantage of using this instead of a common switch is that Apple requires all security Homekit devices to ask for passcode / TouchID / FaceID before triggering this kind of devices.

No more wrong taps on the door unlock!
