Automatic Gate Opener
Read full descriptionHide full description
If you currently open your gate or garage door by making a phone call, Automatic Gate Opener is a new experimental app that can do it for you in the background. Once set up, no manual action is needed. The app monitors your location, and when you approach the gate, at the predefined radius, it initiates the call itself. The call doesn’t come from your phone but from our server. This has several advantages: * Works even if you are on another phone call — no need to hang up or wait. * Easily manage access for friends, guests, coworkers, and others. Easy to share, easy to revoke. If your gate only opens when it receives a call from an approved number, you’ll need to whitelist our server phone number shown during signup. There are many gate manufacturers with different operating logic. This initial version of Automatic Gate Opener may not yet cover all use cases. If something doesn’t work as expected or you have questions or feedback, please contact us at autlo@autlo.com - we’ll be happy to help.
