Great System and Service

I have seen a lot of people state they have had issues with the App or setup. Ok to be fair I did get my GoGate2 professionally installed but that was some years ago and I have two doors controlled and never an issue with the App or the device until I change the batteries in the remote device. It was a simple fix that the support team advised me of which was just make sure the battery clips were pushed in a bit and hey presto all works again. As far as I am concerned a fantastic gadget which saves me so much time coming home from work and just driving into the garage without getting out the car. Would highly recommend.

Anbindung CarPlay fehlt….

Die Installation mit dem automatischen Öffner von Sommer überhaupt kein Problem. Sinnvoll wäre es natürlich nicht am Handy fummeln zu müssen, wenn ich im Auto sitze, was meistens der Fall ist wenn ich es in die Garage/Carport fahren möchte, sondern über CarPlay. Sonst macht das alles wenig Sinn. Frage an die Entwickler: wann kommt das Update?

Die Werbung auf der Homepage, dass keine weiteren zusätzlichen Geräte notwendig sind, ist schlichtweg falsch behauptet und gelogen, um Kunden anzulocken. Die Wahrheit ist, dass ein Apple Pod benötigt wird oder etwas äquivalentes. Hätte ich das gewusst, hätte ich die Finger davon gelassen. Leere Worte keine Rückmeldung vom Entwickler und falsche Versprechen.

Doesn’t work after ios26

Had a Gogogate2 for 10 years and upgraded to iSmartgate Lite earlier this year to add Homekit. It went in fine, first time. Since ios26 the automations stopped working so I have deleted all instances of it and factory reset. Despite following the instructions, waiting for a solid blue light and a flashing green status light, it will not connect. It does ask for the app to be allowed access to the wifi but nothing more. Once done, the device has a green wifi light and I can see in my router that it is connected to wifi but nothing in Homekit and nothing in iSmartgate. I can only conclude it does not work with ios26 and I now have a brick

Baffling interface

This app has the most totally baffling interface I have ever seen. Really difficult to set up (I am a tech geek) so likely to be impossible for most users.

Keep waiting for updates

After IOS16.2 couldn’t use properly

Es funktioniert nicht mehr

Geht einzustellen und nach ca. 5 Minuten meldet das Gerät keine Antwort mehr. So nicht mehr zu gebrauchen.

Scam

Same as other reviewers here, works most of the time until it doesn’t. Absolute theft.

Not good

Extremely inconsistent. I just redownloaded it because I thought I had an old version. But nope. Just a really poor app. The product is ok. Not as inconsistent as the app but still not great.

Security is suspect

Login forms break password manager integration. Customer Support responds: “Please note that for security reasons, you need to TYPE in the credentials for the iSmartgate.”

Any company that believes this is not security minded. Very likely other gaping security holes.

Ios18

Bonjour depuis mon passage à iOS 18 ça reste sans réponse de dans HomeKit

Funciona mal

Después de la última actualización funciona fatal y con el HomeKit y con la app nativa. Me he quedado fuera sin poder entrar

Incredibly awful product

I bought one of these 5 years ago, and eventually got it to work with my garage door; however it features an incredibly annoying bright flashing light accompanied by an even more annoying beep beep noise. After numerous complaints to the company, they finally admitted this warning "feature" could be disabled.... But only by doing a complete factory reset and then reconfiguring everything. Idiots! Even worse, when my internet provider "upgraded" my Wi-Fi, iSmartgate ground to a halt. Factory says I must do a reset, and then completely reconfigure the whole device. Absolutely unacceptable!

ISmartgate Pro einfach tadellos

Steuere damit 3 Tore funktioniert einfach auch mit HomeKit über die Watch sehr gut. Ein Tor ist über 50 Meter entfernt benutze hier den Kabelgebundenen Magnetkontakt. Kann das Produkt nur empfehlen. Funktioniert auch tadellos aus dem Urlaub

Garbage that doesn’t work and CS doesn’t care

It worked for a day…barely. Then kept resetting itself for a week. Then worked for a day….then stopped working all together. Totally forgot about it for a year, then we just had a power outage and now the thing keeps chiming. It’s on a garage door unit 20’ up on the ceiling so now I have to dig out the giant ladder and rip the thing out and throw it away. Weeks of CS emails and calls and they basically said “it should work. It’s your internet/phone/iOS/wall/ceiling/power.” Every excuse except the real one - our product does not work. DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!

Broken since HomeKit update

Everything worked as expected when I first installed this about a year ago. But ever since the HomeKit update with new architecture (16.2) the app has been completely useless and the unit no longer works at all. I constantly get the “accessory not responding” error even after many attempts to reboot, reinstall, reset etc. Extremely frustrating!!

Does not connect to homekit in 16.4

Since ios 16.4 update, cannot connect to homekit. Useless support from company.

Lost wifi connection

After updating to new iOS 16.4 keeps disconnecting. Tried repair but disconnected after 1-2 min. Please update your software

Apple watch?

Why u can not use my Apple Watch to open the garage door, have to use my phone all the time

Firmware/app update needed

Post 16.2 update the garage door app no longer want to talk to the home unit and constantly states app cannot connect even though the unit is visible connected to our router. Seems that the unit’s firmware needs an update to accommodate 16.2 new HomeKit architecture.

Horrible product

Ap installation instructs are useless for device. The instructions don’t match device or set up process. Very poor customer support.
