Smarter Garage Automation

The iSmartGate PRO seamlessly connects your existing garage door to cloud services using just two wires, requiring no complex installation. This innovative system provides remote control from anywhere worldwide, with real-time mobile notifications for all door events. Supporting up to three doors simultaneously, the PRO version (priced around €160) offers superior capabilities compared to the single-door Lite version (priced around €100), including acoustic alarms and custom audio features.

Effortless Setup & Connectivity

iSmartGate PRO installation requires minimal technical expertise, connecting to any modern garage opener within minutes (just two wires for each garage door/gate besides power supply, before buying please check for compatibility here). The system offers dual connectivity options - Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) and wired Ethernet via additional USB adapter - ensuring reliable operation regardless of your network configuration. Robust hardware (512Mhz CPU, 4GB eMMC storage, and 128MB RAM) guarantees consistent performance.

Intelligent Access Management

Control your garage door through multiple convenient methods including a polished mobile app (available for iOS and Android) and a web-based interface accessible from any browser. These platforms provide comprehensive control over all system functions, from basic opening/closing to more advanced features like user management and event history review. The system allows for granular user permissions, enabling you to grant access to family members, guests, or service providers with restrictions based on time, specific doors, and even location. Ten user accounts are included free of charge, with options to expand to 100 or unlimited users through affordable premium plugins .

One particularly valuable application is the ability to receive packages securely inside your garage while you're away from home. This feature effectively prevents porch piracy and protects deliveries from weather elements, ensuring your packages remain safe until you retrieve them. You can open remotely the door for couriers or you can give them a temporary access through customized user permissions, allowing them to open the garage door, place packages inside, and close the door behind them—all while you monitor the process remotely through the app .

The iSmartGate PRO enhances safety with its customizable alert system. By default, the unit emits a 5-second acoustic alarm consisting of multiple beeps to notify anyone nearby of door movement, working in conjunction with your garage opener's existing flashing light. For those seeking personalization, the system allows you to upload and play custom audio clips when opening or closing, adding a touch of personality to your smart home ecosystem. This audio capability extends to playing entrance/exit music, further enhancing the user experience.

Smart Home Ecosystem Integration

Comprehensive smart home integration separates the iSmartGate PRO from more limited competitors. The system works seamlessly with all major voice assistants including Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa, enabling intuitive voice control for opening, closing, and status checks. Beyond voice commands, iSmartGate PRO integrates with popular automation platforms including Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT (though note IFTTT support will be discontinued after October 1, 2025) .

These integrations enable advanced automation scenarios like geofenced automatic operation based on your smartphone's location. Through SmartThings integration, you can also create custom icons on your Android home screen for single-tap door control, providing incredible convenience for daily use. The system's ability to work with multiple smart ecosystems simultaneously means you're not locked into a single platform, preserving flexibility as your smart home evolves over time.

Enhanced Security Features

iSmartGate PRO includes a battery-powered wireless sensor (lasting approximately a year) which must be sticked to your garage door and it monitors its position, temperature, and its own battery condition. This sensor provides crucial data to determine whether your door is open or closed—information you can query through the app or via voice assistants.

For additional monitoring, the system supports video integration with compatible IP cameras, including iSmartGate's own camera solution iSmartGate Cam INDOOR priced at around 60€. The camera has its own dedicated app and can record short video clips during door events, saved to a local SD card and can also be configured for surveillance monitoring, triggering recording when detecting loud noises or movement, adding an extra layer of security against potential theft. For package delivery security, this camera integration proves particularly valuable, allowing you to view and record automatically the entire delivery process for security verification.

However the integration of video feeds and recordings from any camera into iSmartGate PRO app requires a reasonably priced subscription (€29.95 for three years, with the first year included free when buying the iSmartGate Cam INDOOR).

The iSmartGate PRO represents the pinnacle of garage door automation, serving as the ultimate add-on for connecting your existing garage door to cloud services with remarkable ease. Its ability to enhance rather than replace existing systems, combined with extensive smart home integration and flexible control options, makes it an outstanding choice for anyone seeking to bring their garage into the modern smart home ecosystem.
