THOUT

This app lets you securely control a compatible smart garage door device from your iPhone. After a one-time setup, you can see live video from the camera, receive alerts when the garage button is pressed, and remotely trigger the door to open or close. The app connects to your garage device over an encrypted cloud connection and local Wi-Fi. Initial setup uses Bluetooth to send your home Wi-Fi credentials to the device. Once online, the device sends status updates and video using MQTT, and the app can receive push notifications when the door button is pressed, even in the background. No video is stored on our servers. Live video is streamed directly from your own device to your phone. This app is intended for use only with our compatible ESP32-based garage door hardware.
