| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| accessory | Must always be "GarageCommand". (required) |

| state | state command. Examples: ./check_state.js or node state.js (required) |
| status_update_delay | Time to have door in opening or closing state (defaults to 15 seconds) |

The open, close, and state commands must return the following verbs: OPEN, CLOSED, OPENING, CLOSING, STOPPED.
Yes! but this is a feature of homebridge, not the plugin. Just add an additonal accessory with a different name than your other garage door.
Yes, I probably could. Will I? Probably not. If there is a feature you want to add, please feel free to code it yourself and submit a pull request so others can benefit.
STOPPED is a valid status for a door to be in, but in the Home App, it is actually reported as OPEN. If an error occures in getting the status, STOPPED should be returned, and it will be logged, but the plugin has the ignore_errors config option so that a false OPEN event won't be triggered. Be careful with ignore_errors as it can be somewhat dangerous to report an error as CLOSED.
