Trade the old radio remote for your phone and your car. Here's why it's safer and simpler — and how to add it to a gate, garage or door you already have.
Why go app-controlled
A traditional remote's radio code can be copied, captured out of the air or cloned. Gate goes through your own private Shelly Cloud account — no code floating around to intercept.
No fob to misplace, break or run out of battery. Your phone and your car are always with you.
Let family or staff in without duplicating remotes — and revoke access anytime by changing the credentials.
Let in a guest or a delivery remotely, even when you're not at the gate.
Big, glanceable tiles built into the car screen, instead of fumbling for a separate remote.
Gate, garage and door — on your phone, in Android Auto and in the car. No drawer full of fobs.
A remote has to be bought and copied for each person. With the app, giving access costs next to nothing — and with more than two users it's incomparably cheaper.
What you need
A tiny relay wired to your gate or garage motor, controlled over your home Wi-Fi or network. Ideal when there's Wi-Fi reach near the gate.
For gates far from the router: LoRa gives long-range control without needing Wi-Fi at the gate itself.
With a Shelly wired to an RF remote, you can even turn the remote itself into an IoT device.
