Description of configurable attributes
Garage Door Type determines how garage door opening and closing will be controlled.
If the Garage Door Type is Open/Stop/Close Pulse the system expects that sending true to the Open/Stop/Close Pulse Trigger group address acts the same way as pressing the key fob. The first trigger will start moving the garage door in a direction opposite of the previous movement, the next trigger will stop and another will start moving it to another direction.
Warning: It is possible that if the user tries to close the garage door while it is still opening it will not close, but rather just stop. In this case, the user will have to trigger closing one more time to successfully close the door. If the garage door status is properly configured, the system will always show the correct status of the door, which should tell the user what is going on.
If the Garage Door Type is Up/Down the system will send true when closing and false when opening. Depending on the configuration of the KNX Actuator, the garage door might change direction or only stop, if the latter user will face the same behavior as with the Open/Stop/Close Pulse type

| Garage Door Status Type | Currently, only Combined Open/Close is supported | |
| Combined Open/Close Type | Status interpretation | |
| Garage Door Status | Group Address 1-bit (DPT 1.009 or 1.019) - flags: C,R,T | Group address to check the status of the garage door |
Description of configurable attributes
Combined Open/Close Type determines how the value read or received from Garage Door Status is interpreted.
If Open/Close (0=Open, 1=Close) when receiving true from the KNX bus, the system will show the garage door as closed/locked and vice versa.
If Window/Door (0=Close, 1=Open) is selected, the true value from the KNX bus will end up as the garage door opened/unlocked and again vice versa.
Notes
Configuring Hörmann garage doors
The recommended configuration for the Hörmann garage door is using Up/Down - Garage Door Type on 1Home with group address from object function Move Drive with data type up/down for controlling the door.
And for status, it should be set to Open/Close (0=Open, 1=Close) - Combined Open/Close type on the 1Home server with group address from the Door closed status object function on KNX.
