If I recall correctly, Chamberlin had an optional accessory that added HomeKit support to garage door openers, and that was discontinued last year. Home Assistant is capable of acting as a HomeKit hub, allowing it to control HomeKit compatible devices locally that otherwise would've required a cloud connection.

I'm so glad HomeKit exists because without it I'm positive the vast majority of "smart" home devices wouldn't support any kind of local connectivity.
It sucks how many iot devices skip home kit integration for this very reason. :(
