With this release the gdhk proxy allows activation of a Belkin Wemo emulation layer, which allows for control of the Garage Door API with basic On/Off operations using Wemo clients (like Alexa).

The switch reports as "On" when the garage door is insecure (i.e. not closed), and "Off" when the door is fully closed. Triggering the switch to either state will change the target state of the door (asking Alexa to turn off the switch when the door is already closed will send the request to the demo protocol, but the garage door API will not change the state).

It is also possible to create routines so that saying, "Alexa, close the garage door" will attempt to turn the switch off, and vice-versa.
