Great product (if you have a compatible opener), even better customer service
We purchased this garage/gate opener for our electric gate. If we weren't persistent, we would've given the product a 2-3 star, but with some effort it is easily a 5 star, and if I could give their customer service 10 stars I would. By far the best customer service I've had on a product purchased from Amazon.Install: We actually went 3 variations of the product to get one to work. It was very easy to install, the package had a link to their website with clear instructions and pictures, with an easy to use compatibility finder. We hard wired the device to our gate opener and it took about 15 minutes once we figured out what terminals to use. Remootio support was extremely responsive by email (once getting back to me within 1-2 hours of my inquiry; just note they are in the UK). The first one was a dud (which honestly was probably user error), the second one worked flawlessly for 2 days. Then nothing. We contacted customer service again, and finally after a series of back and forth, they recalled that the Remootio 2 actually couldn't be hardwired into the control board - the power source must be external (should've known since we didn't receive an appropriate cord for hardwiring, and had to strip the end of the USB cord). Realizing their error, we received an updated device that did come with the appropriate cord (the Remootio 3). Again, easy to install and has worked beautifully since.Product: It's a great device and app. Much more affordable than many of the other products we would have needed to control our gate with our phone. Also one of the only products on Amazon we found that can be used for either a garage or gate opener. The app interface is really easy to use. It does take a few seconds when you open the app to connect to the gate before you can open/close it, it's a minor inconvenience. We love that we can easily send our friends and family keys, change whether we/they use bluetooth or internet to open it, set time intervals for them to be active. We did install the sensor with notifications as well, which is accurate 90% of the time, here and there we get a random alert that our gate is open and have to look out the window to make sure it's actually closed. Likely the sensors are just close enough and a little bit of movement in the cord or gate triggers the magnet connection.Like I said, great product, even better customer service. We're very happy with our purchase!

Would not sync and no customer support phone number
I so very much wanted this device to work. I followed the set up directions for syncing the device and the light was blinking as described in the instructions. The setup involved downloading the remootio app. Because I have multiple devices, the Google store sent the app to 2 Samsung phones and 1 Samsung tablet. The app would not load onto the tablet. I used the app to search for the device. When it didn't locate the remootio with the first device, I tried with the second. There is a reset button inside the device. I held it down as described in to reset the device and the app still could not locate the device. I verified that Bluetooth was on and no other devices connected. I tried searching with wifi both on and off. I searched online and youtube for help, but didn't find anything. I couldn't find a phone number for customer service, but did find a email address. I sent am email, but this thing is going back. Maybe I just got a bad one.

It Works
Lots of bells and whistles/functionality. One of the few/only products that have both WI-FI and Bluetooth capability.It can be used on garage doors and gates, which most products can't.I compared the Remootio to the Ismartgate and GarageMate. One is only WI-FI; the other is Bluetooth only and not recommended for gates. I like Bluetooth capability due to better security as compared to WI-FI. However, if you want to check your gate's status or want to open/close it remotely, you need WI-FI. The Remootio can do both.The Remootio app is pretty solid, too - auto open, app customizations, electronic security key transfer, Alexa and Google Home compatibility, status sensor, etc. You can tell they put a lot of work into the app.The Remootio comes with multiple connection wires to fit almost every gate/garage maker.This is the most comprehensive device on the market that I'm aware of to make your gate into a smart gate.Some Cons:As stated elsewhere, the directions could be improved upon. Some of the instructions are not clear, are contradictory to the provided wires, or missing information. I understand this to a degree since the Remootio seems almost limitlessly configurable by the customer (Hardware & App). Nevertheless, we shouldn't have to search in four different places to understand how to connect it because once we do, the Remootio is easy to install.To get the best understanding of how to hook the Remootio up properly, I had to read the inbox instructions, the online PDF, and the online compatibility chart. I also had to watch a YouTube video from another customer. I suggest a rethink on the instructions, and all info be provided on the App.The mounting sticker and access screw on the back of the Remootio is a curious design and functionality choice. The access screw should be assessable from the front of the device, or the sticker should be replaced with a mounting bracket. These design choices were clearly not tested by the person who thought them up.Finally, the gate sensor wire should be longer (check or be prepared to add/splice on the extra wire) or, better yet, wireless like the Ismartgate sensor is.Overall I'm happy with the Remootio so far. I was able to get it on sale during Amazon Prime Day for $75. If the full price of the Remootio is too much to stomach, you can roll the dice with the GarageMate, which costs $50 but with nowhere near the functionality of the Remootio and not made for gates.
