Waiting on product

ordered spare sensors for my Remootio on July 15 direct from Remootio
, as my previous ones wire broke off. To date I still have not received the product. I believe that first of all the delay was due to USA customs holding the package up, now its stuck somewhere in a UPS warehouse since August 1st. Remootio are refusing to send me another one out even though they have taken my payment for this and shipment cost until they receive the other one back from UPS or I receive it. It’s an impossible situation. This is terrible service, great product but a gamble if you purchase anything direct from them as they will take no responsibility or action if you don’t receive it.

Fantastic bit of kit

This device is worth every penny, excellent set up options, software really very good. However the support is probably the best I have experienced. This to help with a my setup error. Bence and Zoey are stars. Highly recommended. AH.

Excellent

I’ve been using this for 2 years now and it’s been faultless but please CarPlay is a must.

Wow!!!

In one short word… wow! What a game changer at a great price and easy to install. I had gate installers trying to sell me an entire new system for as much as $5,900.00+. I said I just want to upgrade my system so I can use an app to open the gate. Everyone claimed I would need an entire new system. Then I found Remootio 3! WOW!!! Easy to install. I can share a temporary code with friends and family and can open my gate with Siri or Alexa or one push on an app.

It’s ok.

You shouldn’t need to unlock your phone to use it. Would be awesome if Siri Shortcuts could run while phone is locked so when I’m within my geo fence the gate should open automatically
