Blocking IoT (Meross) Garage Door opener to internet

[netboy]

Hi, let me explain what I have so far accomplished.

I have blocked all my IoT devices (almost all) from accessing the internet except for Meross Garage Door opener (Homekit version).

My understanding is my Apple Homepod (bridge) cannot access the the garage "outside" my network because I believe Meross needs access to their servers i.e internet.

How do I handle this? Can you create a firewall rule for Meross to only access Apple servers? This looks complicated.

I do have other firewall rules where my IoT device are blocked from accessing my private network.
