Garage door confuses states (if opened or closed)

Konnected Garage Door Opener
1

I have blaQ black and integrated it with Home Assistant. From there I integrated with HomeKit.

Apart from opening the first time, the HomeKit quickly gets confused whether the door is open or closed.

Any suggestions?

Interestingly, I’ve had very similar problems with GDO Blaq & HomeKit (but through Homebridge, instead of HA) for months now.

It’s “Open” when it should be “Closed” or it’s stuck on “Opening” for veritable minutes and never updates again. It has the right status 10% of the time and wrong status 90% of the time. It’s honestly baffling.

I recently stopped trying to make Konnected GDO Blaq & HomeKit work because of this long-term unreliability (back to the little remotes, hooray), so I’ll be following along here in case folks have HomeKit-specific workarounds.

I even replaced my wall remote (881LM → 881LMW, 2024 production date) and it made zero improvements.

For reference:

  • GDO Blaq, security+2.0
  • ESPHome 2024.12.2
  • Konnected Project 1.4.0.3
  • Wi-Fi: -47 dBm, 100% signal
  • Wall control: 881LMW, 2024 prod. date
  • Homebridge 1.8.x & now 1.9.0 + the Konnected Blaq Plugin (v0.2.34)

I suspect it needs a few serious firmware updates for HomeKit, so maybe by the end of 2025, it’ll be ready. This is the previous thread, which I forgot to post my update in:
