I assume you are asking the OP, but I think I can answer for him, as I made the same mistake.
When creating a HBB Alias of the Indigo garage device, you can choose configure "type of device".
It is in this dialog box, when you choose "Garage Door" that the icon in the Home app of the iPhone changes to a garage door, but when clicking the button inside the iOS Home app, it does not do anything in Indigo.
I can see a message in the Indigo log, that the on command has been received, but it seems to stop there.
Later when you mentioned in this thread "Treat as..." that I figured out that the Alias configuration is the wrong place to set this.
The correct place to do this is to edit the Homebridge device itself, click "Edit Device Settings", and then first go to "Homebridge friendly devices to include" and after selecting all the wanted devices, choose "Treat as garage doors" and here select the Indigo device that operates the Garage door...
After doing that, my driveway gate worked as I wanted, with a garage door icon and all...
I understand what Aliases are, but the type of device inside the Aliases configuration don't seem to work (only for switches).
