Features
Read full description

Turn a UniFi Protect relay and door sensor into a proper smart garage door — no hub, no subscription. • Open and close from your iPhone, Apple Watch, widgets, Control Center, the Action Button or Siri • Always verified: the door sensor is the only source of truth, so the app never guesses • Two doors on one install, each with its own buttons, widgets and alerts • A camera picture of the garage on the door screen, when a Protect camera watches it • Live Activity while the door is open, with a Close button right on the Lock Screen • Alerts when the door stays open too long or is still open at night — hold it open when you mean it • Arriving home? Get a notification with an Open button. Nothing ever opens by itself • Connect directly to your Protect console on your home network, or through the self-hosted bridge • Optional keyless cloud alerts: the service never holds your Protect API key • Try everything in Demo mode without any credentials Free to download, with 20 door opens included. Garage Opener Unlimited, a one-time purchase with Family Sharing, removes the limit forever. Closing, stopping, door state, the camera and alerts are never limited. Works with UniFi Protect (relay output configured as Pulse + an all-in-one sensor mounted on the garage door).
