Auto open happens when home

New version updated. Door keeps auto opening when it should not. Done it 3-4 times today i been either already home or a long way away. Not great so turned function off

Needs to work properly with new IOS 26

Has issues with not detecting location, then 30 mins later detects it and then opens and closes gates and doors several times, thinking I had arrived.

Apple CarPlay app

Please add it to CarPlay. It would be so handy to open the gate on car’s infotainment screen

No internet connection

Wifi works. Bluetooth works. No connection through internet. Only reason I bought it.

Constant HomeKit issues

Sometimes it connects to HomeKit, sometimes it doesn’t. No rhyme or reason…. Constantly says “the garage door is not responding”… then will work perfectly the next time.

All other HomeKit devices work in the house.

Remootio support wasn’t interested.
