I bought this device and it seem to work pretty good but the simple fact after several years of it not working with android auto an CarPlay is just absolutely stupid this point. If there was any app that needed to work with an automobile it should be a garage door opener in this kind of follow in the category of Duhh…
So I’m abandoning this app all together and going with someone that makes sense it’s really stupid to go this long and not work with a car.
There is a simple solution but will require you to invest in a $5 raspberry pi and a few more dollars for an iBeacon. You place the Raspberry Pi in your garage and the iBeacon in your vehicle. You’ll then need to run some software on the pi which is constantly scanning for iBeacons. When it recognizes your iBeacon, it will open the garage.
I don’t think its fair to blame the company for rules that Apple and Google put in place. We need to petition Apple and Google to expand their categories to permit home automation including garage door function.
It also looks like there are new categories for CarPlay now that garaget might fit into. We really need this feature added as it’s getting more and more problematic to use the phone to control the garage.
I’ve been asking for this for a long time. It really seems like this needs to move up on the priority list also and integration with Tesla would be most desirable.
