FYI there is still a well known bug with HomeKit when it comes to multiple garage door openers. For whatever reason it will always defer to the first garage door you added to HomeKit. For example my wife parks in the double door side and I park on the single door side. For when either of us drive up to the house the double door opener button pops up on our carplay screens but never the single door even though that's the one I open and close daily. I just use the Siri voice command for the single door opener but still it's annoying that Apple hasn't figured out that fix yet as I would think the software should be smart enough to learn which one you are using daily and default to that.We had two basically unused, small garage door openers, I took one, just some 3M tape, and put in the driver-side door pocket, super easy to reach without looking, totally out of way and it's no less convenient vs. HomeLink, i.e., it's one button.
At some point I'll adda HomeKit compatible controller since we're already all in on that tech (probably the Meross since I already have a few of their other products).
