United StatesThis application is the companion app to be used with the smart home hardware product Remootio.
Remootio is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled end-to-end encrypted smart remote controller, that makes your old gates and garage doors smart. With Remootio you can control and monitor your gates and garage doors using your smartphone.
Thanks to Remootio's Bluetooth connectivity, you can control your gates even when WiFi is not available at your gates or when the internet service is down. You can also connect Remootio to your home WiFi and connect it from anywhere within your house. In this mode, no data goes through the internet. You can also set up internet access easily with one click in the App.

Excellent app, Excellent device
Update ~a year later: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, developers add “Open Until <time>” function!!! I don’t want schedules, and the immediate open is fine for occasional uses, but most of the time when I use Remootio, I want the gate to stay open a while!! Your app won’t do that. My original review, still 4 stars: I’ve used this for about a year now to operate my driveway gate, and only have good things to say about it. I now have a second Remootio device that I plan to implement on a garage door. My one suggestion - seems obvious to me, but apparently not to the designers - is that this device should have a feature for “Open now, until <specified time or elapsed time>”. All they offer currently is an automated “Open every <time/date> for <specified period>”. Tedious, and far less useful. Still, this is an outstanding device (assuming you have the technical skill to install it).
United StatesRecent update causing issues
IOS 17.0.3 iPhone 13 Pro Max Internet control of the gate intermittently unreachable, yet if the gate is opened via the clicker or via someone else’s Bluetooth or Local WiFi, the app sends open/ close notifications via the internet without issue. Could be a cloud issue or an app issue. Either way, it needs to be fixed.
United StatesDoesn’t
Work as good as it use to. I get about 50% of the time it works the other 50 it doesn’t
United StatesA better way to control your door / gate
I used to have a MyQ system on my old garage door motor. It worked pretty well, but requires a hub and internet access. When I couldn’t get the necessary MyQ gear in Mexico for my gate, I had to hunt for another solution. Remootio does the trick, does not require a hub, and works with Bluetooth, WiFi or Internet. There are a couple of UI features that could improve the app, but I really appreciate the Door Open / Door Closed alert messages - these alerts don’t require that you used the app to have opened or closed the door.
United StatesAuto open never works
When we first installed this gate opener, the auto open worked for me and not my husband. I loved it. Never had to pick up my phone or open the app, just pulled up and the gate opened. App needed to be updated it said, I updated and the auto open Hasn’t worked since. I wish this was an easy fix!
United StatesFeature Filled But Slow
The sheer number of features for the price is unbeatable. Being able to open my gate from anywhere, being able to set the gate to remain open for a period of time, and the many different ways to share keys are the pros. There are a few things that are lacking, which I hope can be addressed by the developers: - It takes a long time for the app to connect to the Remootio 3 device every time I open it. (Between 10-30 seconds) Note that I have excellent WiFi signal (between -45 and -50 RSSI) with a Speedtest registering at roughly 200mbps up/ 200mbps down next to where the device is placed. Even if I open the Notification Center, the app has to reconnect this long to reconnect. It would make everything so much better if the app kept the connection online in the background and if it would connect to my Remootio faster (say 5 seconds instead of 20) - This leads to the second issue. Because it takes so long to connect to the device, all three voice assistants (Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant) will time out and fail to open my gate. - There are occasional issues when I tell Remootio to hold my gate open for XX minutes. When I try to override it — to close it before the timer expires — it refuses to close, so I have to wait for the timer to end before it will close. It would be better if there was an option to just hold the gate open indefinitely until I press a button to close it. I hope some of these issues can be addressed soon.
United StatesExcellent app a couple drawbacks
Update: Restarted the device and HomeKit integration was successful! Update: Remootio 2 now has ability to integrate with HomeKit. Unfortunately, when I try to integrate I get “Accessory update error”message. Multiple attempts. Update: with version 5.1, my Remootio 2 sometimes says “sensor not enabled”. The app and product are fantastic. I easily installed the device on my garage door with the help of the wiring diagram and the animated tutorial videos on their website. I had to play with the settings to get the app to tell me when the door had been opened or closed. When I share a key, even though I enable notifications on the user’s device and agree to the setting inside of my Remootio app, the user is not notified when he or she opens the garage door. Also quirky is that when some users open the garage door I, as the administrator, receive a notification that “Garage door opened by user name X”, but I don’t receive this notification for all users. Same settings enabled on each user’s device and same process followed when I shared the key with each user.
