Open The Gate Automatically, As You Approach Home

Automatically open the gate as you approach home, so you won’t need to stop during late hours or be distracted finding your remote.

The app can automatically open the gate as you approach home, so you won’t need to stop during late hours or be distracted finding your remote. It uses a Geofence so that it is only aware of your location at specific points close to your home.

What is Geofencing?

Geofencing leverages your smartphone’s location services to create a virtual perimeter close to your property. When your device enters this geofence, only then is the app notified, triggering the gate to open automatically.

Important Note on Privacy

Geofencing prioritizes your privacy, and communicates to servers only when your device enters or exits the designated geofence zones. This ensures your location is never tracked.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Ensure Location Services are Enabled: For geofencing to function, location services must be turned on for the app on your smartphone.
  • Check App Permissions: Verify that the app has the necessary permissions to access location data.
  • Restart App and Phone: Sometimes a simple app restart or phone reboot can resolve minor glitches.
