More Information

This is a community-maintained continuation of the existing verified plugin homebridge-cgd-garage-door (KieraDOG/longzhao), published under a new scope since we don't have push access to the original npm package. It targets the same Centurion garage door hardware but adds meaningful functionality beyond it: a Stop button, native live camera streaming + snapshots (bundled ffmpeg, no separate camera plugin needed), device-error surfacing as a proper HomeKit fault, and Homebridge v2/current Node LTS support. The original hasn't published since September 2024.

Start by reviewing the linked homebridge-cgd-garage-door repository against the verification checklist in this issue. Check installation, configuration, startup behavior, tracking, file storage, and error handling, then confirm the stated functionality and record whether the plugin meets the verification requirements.
