Hi - I’ve had this issue as well but today with some help from Brad at Aeotec support, have found a workaround. It’s based on an old fix posted a while back from @TedTolboom. > [@Cannot include Aeotec Garage Door Opener](https://community.homey.app/t/cannot-include-aeotec-garage-door-opener/648/4): > > For reference, I have the same controller, and it workes for me. Should not matter to much, but I run a modified version of v1.6.5 of the app, since the control of the garage door is inverted (reports open when closed and vice versa). Worked before with older version, even though the door status was wrong. The hole implementation of the Aeotec garage door controller needs rework. It’s not just the issue I mentioned above. The mobile card is not built in a good way, where the … Use the updated CLI method found here: > [@\[HOW TO\] CLI install method](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-cli-install-method/198): > > Homey Pro only!!! It does not work this way with Homey (cloud), it only supports CLI run which is there only for development purposes. Installing Node.js Check Node.js version on Homey: Homey App: Settings - General - About - Node.js version Download Node.js (use Homey’s version or higher) from [https://nodejs.org/](https://nodejs.org/) and install it on your computer. Download the app you want to install from GitHub Go to the repository on [GitHub](https://github.com/) (the correct link for the app you want to install is at the bottom… Then I downloaded this app and installed it using the CLI method above: > **[GitHub - kusanghi/homey.aeotec: Aeotec + Homey Athom](https://github.com/kusanghi/homey.aeotec)** > > Aeotec + Homey Athom Once installed, you will have two “AEOTEC” apps on your homey app. I removed the garage controller from the original Homey AEOTEC app, and then re-added it on the “kentaclub” app via the CLI method. Finally I have a garage door that knows if it’s open or not and working fine on Barrier CC! I have a remote button, which I tested with the garage reporting correctly as it should have in the first time. Does require a little bit of terminal work on a Mac, but not too tricky, even for a first timer like me. AEOTEC - unsure why you can’t get this right on your app. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/aeotec-garage-controller-issue/25618)._
