When attempting to close a garage door with an obstruction status code 70408 is thrown about aiohomekit HOT 7 CLOSED

I've seen this before - probably the same brand of garage door opener - even though off spec i was going to change the error handler to invert positive error codes before trying but haven't got round to it yet.

Just wanted to update this with another similar stack. Using the 819LMB bridge with a few liftmaster myq garage doors.

Please let me know if I can help test something or gather more info on this. Happy to help how I can.

Just to be clear - right now the only fix planned for this is to work around their broken HAP implementation enough so we can at least know the correct error message the device is sending. In the context of HA this will eventually manifest as a "Unavailable" state in the frontend. Because that's a cosmetic fix it's currently low down my list.

There is no planned fix that will make it work, and i'm not sure there is anything we could do on that front. I.e. If their HAP implementation was correct 70402 should actually be -70402, which is a StatusServiceCommunicationFailure or HAPSTATUSCODE_SERVICE_OFFLINE in other HAP libraries. I suspect this is a device failure of some kind, likely a communication error between the bridge and doors.

Interesting. Thanks! That makes sense. The doors do function and this is probably just tiny bit flakey. I haven't dug into it to figure out if it is doing retries or how it handles any of this. For the most part the status of the doors seems correct and it responds quickly.

Since they are all supposed to be negative we can probably abs the value *-1 for compat

Thats the plan I just haven't done it yet. Want to actually do something based on these error codes on the HA side too. Right now they would just be dropped.
