A better way to control your door / gate
I used to have a MyQ system on my old garage door motor. It worked pretty well, but requires a hub and internet access.
When I couldn’t get the necessary MyQ gear in Mexico for my gate, I had to hunt for another solution. Remootio does the trick, does not require a hub, and works with Bluetooth, WiFi or Internet.
There are a couple of UI features that could improve the app, but I really appreciate the Door Open / Door Closed alert messages - these alerts don’t require that you used the app to have opened or closed the door.Show lessSteveEtt
Great but needs CarPlay
I use it for my gate but it’s really good but could be great if it has car play supportFlex’s
Good but…
It’s a good app and system but it really needs to work with Apple car play.Gc456_
Auto open never works
When we first installed this gate opener, the auto open worked for me and not my husband. I loved it. Never had to pick up my phone or open the app, just pulled up and the gate opened. App needed to be updated it said, I updated and the auto open Hasn’t worked since. I wish this was an easy fix!Show lessyogamanda445
Feature Filled But Slow
The sheer number of features for the price is unbeatable. Being able to open my gate from anywhere, being able to set the gate to remain open for a period of time, and the many different ways to share keys are the pros.
There are a few things that are lacking, which I hope can be addressed by the developers:
- It takes a long time for the app to connect to the Remootio 3 device every time I open it. (Between 10-30 seconds) Note that I have excellent WiFi signal (between -45 and -50 RSSI) with a Speedtest registering at roughly 200mbps up/ 200mbps down next to where the device is placed. Even if I open the Notification Center, the app has to reconnect this long to reconnect. It would make everything so much better if the app kept the connection online in the background and if it would connect to my Remootio faster (say 5 seconds instead of 20)
- This leads to the second issue. Because it takes so long to connect to the device, all three voice assistants (Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant) will time out and fail to open my gate.
- There are occasional issues when I tell Remootio to hold my gate open for XX minutes. When I try to override it — to close it before the timer expires — it refuses to close, so I have to wait for the timer to end before it will close. It would be better if there was an option to just hold the gate open indefinitely until I press a button to close it.
I hope some of these issues can be addressed soon.Show lessVekzor
Aftwr update to 6.0
After update app very slow to open gate sometimes fails :(Mikenorge
Excellent app a couple drawbacks
Update: Restarted the device and HomeKit integration was successful!
Update: Remootio 2 now has ability to integrate with HomeKit. Unfortunately, when I try to integrate I get “Accessory update error”message. Multiple attempts.
Update: with version 5.1, my Remootio 2 sometimes says “sensor not enabled”. The app and product are fantastic. I easily installed the device on my garage door with the help of the wiring diagram and the animated tutorial videos on their website. I had to play with the settings to get the app to tell me when the door had been opened or closed. When I share a key, even though I enable notifications on the user’s device and agree to the setting inside of my Remootio app, the user is not notified when he or she opens the garage door. Also quirky is that when some users open the garage door I, as the administrator, receive a notification that “Garage door opened by user name X”, but I don’t receive this notification for all users. Same settings enabled on each user’s device and same process followed when I shared the key with each user.Show lessDactylonian
Greasy simple app
I love Remootio. Our gates are fairly slow and i hated waiting for them to open off the key fob. This solves those problems. YES CarPlay icon would be better, YES Siri/Alexa option while driving would also be great, but i appreciate its a safety feature for it to be disabled and nothing to do with Remootio.
Overall, simple cost effective and very easy to use!Show lessBrightspark82
Please add CarPlay
Love Remootio
Would be better if….
I could hit a button in CarPlay to open the gates
I could hardwire an Ethernet into the unit
The unit had a zigbee/zwave chip on board
It was possible to ignore requests to open if it’s already been request to open in the last x seconds.Davidmhornsby
