Home Assistant blocked from integrating with Garage Door opener API
ratgdo looks really nice! I've been controlling my garage door via dry contact on my Elk security system [1] and monitoring the door status via a separate rolling door reed sensor. [2] But from following the ratgdo link, I learned that my "Security+ 1.0" garage door opener has a RS-232 interface with a protocol that will tell you about door status and obstructions. That's better!
I just clicked the buy link on the ratgdo thing to support the nice, well-documented open-source [3] project. In truth though I have the right hardware sitting around here already, so I might just use that depending on how long the "back ordered" status lasts...
[1] There's a Home Assistant integration for the Elk M1 Gold with some Python library; I also have my own WIP Rust library for interacting with it here: <https://github.com/scottlamb/elkm1>
[2] something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Gebildet-Security-Rolling-Magnetic-Ap...
[3] docs at <https://paulwieland.github.io/ratgdo/> but the actual code is in a separate repo at <https://github.com/ratgdo/esphome-ratgdo>

You may actually need a little bit of extra information to recreate the little PCB board that the ratgdo software relies on to interface the espressif to the terminals of your opener.
It's not terribly complicated but for reasons that are polarizing to many in the garage-door-automation society, the author of the software, although leaving the code completely open source is averse to publishing schematics for the PCB board itself, so others have had to step in and reverse engineer these.
I believe, although I have not verified because I haven't tried this myself, that this site provides both the schematics you need as well as information necessary to Flash the software onto your ESP device.
