1、Fixed a bug relating to permission requests during new device setup

Can’t even set up one device

I’m stuck trying to set up my device in the app and I cannot enable Bluetooth, which it requires. I had to manually enable location services through settings. The newest annoyance is the app tells me to download the latest version (presumably to fix these issues), but it is not available in the App Store. Literally unusable.

Can’t get past Bluetooth setup

Just received the device and installed the app. I’m unable to get past the initial setup. It says Bluetooth must be enabled but the app setup doesn’t have a Bluetooth option to enable. Location services also had to be enabled manually (other apps ask during app startup to use location and Bluetooth, this one does not), but that option didn’t show up initially. After a bit, it did, but still no way to enable Bluetooth so no way to configure the device.

Gets the job done

I didn’t expect a perfect app from a small company making garage door smart home mods, especially since the app isn’t really necessary after you add it to HomeKit. I found the setup process pretty straightforward except learning was interrupted by the need for a firmware update. I might suggest a clearer setup flow that checks for a firmware update before beginning. In addition some documents for things like the vehicle sensors don’t match the latest UX.

Not HomeKit compatible

I’ve configured 20+ HomeKit compatible smart devices in my home. This company false advertises that they are HomeKit compatible. Do not buy this product.

What happened?

This app used to work so well, and was so convenient. Auto open no longer works. App can’t diagnose or update firmware of sensors. What used to be slick and useful is now garbage.
