Default HomeLink Garage Door Opener Feature

The HomeLink wireless control has 3 buttons which can be programmed to operate 3 different devices. I don't have a car garage, therefore, the buttons are useless. However, I do have an Apple HomeKit smart home. Is there a solution to interface the car HomeLink protocol to a smart home environment, in my case Apple HomeKit? This would allow my to lock/unlock my house front door, turn on/off exterior lights, or even arm/disarm the alarm system using one of these three HomeLink buttons.

Merci

HomeLink is not WiFi enabled and I assume that the Apple Home Kit relies on WiFi.

Homelink uses an RF signal.

This integration from HomeLink (RF) to HomeKit (WIFI) could work.
