Very convenient
I live in an HOA and have been using the gate app for over a year now and absolutely love it. I rarely have any issues. I would recommend to anyone to make sure you save your username and password somewhere whenever you have to log back in. I do wish the app would show a Iog with all the notifications I receive when my guests are at the the gate. I think it would be great to access the photos of the guests at the call box for security purposes.
Fails at basic security
Gates are supposed to be a security feature, so you might assume that a company that supplies an app for controlling physical security gates would be familiar with basic app security. You’d be wrong. • There is no way for the user to set or reset their own password in the app. You have to contact the administrator for your gate system and they create and assign you a password. Which means you’ll get a weak password that at least one other person already knows. • You can’t generate your own gate codes. They’re also assigned by the administrator. So again, your “security” codes are de facto shared with a person outside your household from day one. These are such basic security fails that it is shocking that such an inept company can do business in the physical security space. I hope that the app at least communicates securely with the controller back end, but seeing these basic security face plants, I wouldn’t be surprised if they got that wrong too.
