ISMARTGATELITE Smart Garage Door Opener Remote, APP Control, Compatible with Apple Homekit, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT, Compatible with All Garage doors. Wireless sensor included.

First, I bought the product about six months ago and waited until now to write my review. I carefully read all of the previous reviews before making the decision to go with the iSmartgate Lite to retrofit my single sectional garage door for my 2-car garage. While the 02WNA202 Wifi Standard Lite is more expensive than some of the other Wifi conversion kits, the reviews led me to believe this product was more reliable in terms of its integration with Apple-based smart homes. Make sure you check your existing garage door opener to make sure the system is compatible with the product. I have an older model Genie opener and it was listed as compatible. On opening the product, everything you need is in the box and there are two main components, the wireless unit that will be wired to your garage door mechanism (with two primary options to connect -- directly to the unit or to your stationary garage door button). The second unit is a sensor unit powered by two Type N batteries that senses when the door is open or closed. Online instructions are available that provide both video and step by step illustrations for each step of the installation. The initial setup should be performed in your home adjacent to your computer so that you can follow the instructions. Make sure your wifi signal is strong enough to reach your garage, else you will be disappointed in the result. Once you perform the initial steps, which include pairing the with wifi and linking into the Home app, (I skipped the use of the manufacturer's app), it's time to wire into the opener device. Given that I did not have power adjacent to my stationary garage door button, I wired directly into the garage door opener unit. While the online directions provide great pictures of the various wire configurations (wire from unit to opener is provided), I found that my Genie unit was most likely far older than the unit shown in the picture. I spent some time determining which wires from the stationary button triggered the garage light as opposed to the garage door. Once I determined the wire block scheme, I wired per the instructions to the opener button terminals on the main opener unit. I then mounted the device on the garage opener bracket hanging from my ceiling and plugged the unit in. I then inserted the Type N batteries and made sure I could see the main unit's white light "fast blink". My iPhone home app showed the door as open or closed, based on how I was holding the sensor. I then mounted the sensor unit to my garage door (make sure you follow the directions provided by the manufacturer, the up arrow needs to be up, and be sure that you use the double-sided tape so that it is on the opposite side of the sensor side with the screws -- else you will be disappointed when it comes time to change the Type N batteries). It works as I hoped and I enjoy telling Siri to open my garage door when I'm turning onto my street, as well as telling Siri to close my garage door as I clear the driveway when leaving my home. I also receive alerts when the garage door is opening or closing as my wife uses her car. The batteries in the sensor last about 5 to 6 months, so make sure you have Type N batteries on hand. You can purchase them here on Amazon from a number of sellers. Warning -- when the batteries grow weak, the Apple Home app will report that it cannot connect with the garage door. That is your sign to change the batteries. Unscrew the four sensor screws and the sensor is easily removed from the housing. When changing the batteries, the metal battery holders can be a bit stiff. When extracting the batteries and replacing, make sure the terminals are still tight so that the new batteries make a strong connection. You can test this before mounting back into the housing by making sure that the white light on the main unit is "fast blinking." My Home app also reports open and closed, depending on how I am holding the sensor. Insert the sensor back into the housing, tighten (don't over tighten the screws, else you risk stripping them) and you should be good to go for another 5 to six months. Good luck and I hope your experience meets your satisfaction -- my experience met mine.

This worked great for about 3 months. Then it started having issues with the remote sensor. You can find a lot of people who had problems by searching "ismartgate not working in home kit" or "ismartgate no response in homekit"The sensor just stopped working. I've contacted support 4 times and none of the times did they bother to write me back despite being polite.I highly suggest going with Meross or another brand.120$ wasted. Also because I bought the lite version they don't have the wired leads on it so you can't buy the wired sensor to attach to it. For that they make you buy the more expensive 200$ version.It's been an extremely frustrating experience and I'm from IT guy who does software dev, so I understand bugs and glitches.This just straight up no longer works and isn't worth a fraction of the cost.It was great when it worked but the company has horrible quality control and could care less to fix the problem once they've already got your money.Stay away from them and go with someone else. The headache you'll eventually get isn't worth it.

WiFi setup is simple and seamless. This can all be done inside your house or from the ground level as You take care of that first. Once that is complete and you put the batteries in the door sensor you can test the connectivity to the app and HomeKit simply by changing the orientation of the door sensor. Once configured, you can unplug and move the iSmartgate to the garage to get ready to connect and mount it. It will hold the configuration even powered off.Physical install requires a bit more effort. Install the door sensor on your door first (super simple with double sided tape provided) then the iSmartgate itself simply needs power and to be hard-wired into either the hard-wired opener that is by your garage to house entry door or the garage door opener itself. There are two wired leads that go from the iSmartgate to the the contacts on the remote or the opener itself (see images). You then mount the iSmartgate near where you connected it and provide power. That is it. There is no “programming” to your garage door because of the hard-wired connection.HomeKit Integration is from the app itself. Once setup, that too is seamless.One of the best features of the HomeKit integration is the its integration to CarPlay (if you have a newer vehicle that is CarPlay enabled) if not, Siri, the Home app, or the iSmartgate app will remotely let you control your garage door. If you do have CarPlay and iOS 13, a control for your garage door will appear on your CarPlay panel in your car when you arrive or are leaving your home to allow you to tap to open or close your door.This works flawlessly!

This appears to be the best HomeKit compatible garage door opener.I was looking for a HomeKit compatible product for a single garage door. I went with the Lite and it works well. The app the comes with the device is pretty lame but you can avoid it by using HomeKit.My only complaint so far is that the sensor batteries appear to have died after about 6 months. They’re N batteries which aren’t expensive but are less common and I didn’t have any backups lying around.

Super easy installation and configuration. Twenty minutes and Siri was opening and closing the garage door from CarPlay.

Love this product, works on my two panel swing gate just great.Was real easy to set up and install, less than 30 min.Only issue I have is I order it for a gate but they sent me the companion garage door sensor instead of the companion gate sensor.I’m still waiting for the gate sensor so that it will show if the door is open or closed . Without it, Apple HomeKit does not work so I just use the smart gate app.

Même si physiquement c’était assez facile à installer j’ai eu énormément de pas de réponse dans homekit. Des fois ça marchait, d’autres fois non. J’ai dû installer un booster dans le garage, mais malgré un wifi excellent, j’avais encore le problème de connection intermittent. Je commande la plupart du temps à partir de Siri et Apple WatchFinalement je viens de brancher un fil ethernet et à date ça semble bien fonctionner. De faire ce processus ça oblige à acheter un adaptateur USB ethernet et le seul recommandé par la compagnie est celui d’Apple qui coûte 2 fois plus cher. Possible qu’un autre ferait mais depuis décembre que j’essaie de faire fonctionner convenablement alors je ne voulais plus de traças.

I called the Ismartgarte sales line to inquire whether this unit would work with Ryobi opener and was told it would. Ismartgate doesn’t seem to have customer service phone number for technical help. Only an email address which they don’t respond to. Looks like a good product but a good product with bad customer service is useless.
