GarageMate2.1 (Please Read)

I paid for this app before it went free and now latest version crippled features. No longer do I get an audible sound (I backup car, do no visual indication, until I'm out in the cold to see it didn't open). Also, app closing after a timeout was always useful, now while driving out I need to mess with clearing the app to get to home screen. Not a good way to treat customers who had faith in the beginning to force them to move to 4.0, when current solution worked just fine.

I have been using this for over two years now. I donated and love the app! Be sure to go to their website to download an older version if you still want the original settings capabilities that were lost with the newest update, such as the automatic button press when the app is launched.

I paid for it know I cant use all of it. It takes like 5 min to open garage with all the permissions

I used the Do it Yourself method as explained on the YouTube video for the hardware piece, then the associate app for the easy control functions. Works great!

Works great with the HM 1800 receiver.

Worked in our home without any problems

It will not let me log in..even after I try to reset my password I'll put the code in and still won't let me!!!!!

If you're a person that enjoys doing nifty little gadget projects then this is the app and mod for you. With the help of the YouTube video it took me about 45 minutes to complete. I've had no issues with it at all. Works everytime.

I've been using this for several years the only problem is my wife cannot install it on her phone now. I have an HTC One which supposedly is not compatible there was able to install it and it works great. My wife also has an HTC One but were not able to get the install.

I followed the super easy YouTube video to create my very own Bluetooth receiver and tada, my phone can now unlock my garage! I have multiple cars and don't always go for the one in the garage, but when I do, I don't have to run back inside to grab the opener because I have it on my phone. Yes, it's not always very quick to respond or Bluetooth connection might die, but in reality it's a problem with my phone and not with the app. In 1 year that I have been using this app, I never had a problem that couldn't be remedied by restarting my Bluetooth connection and trying again. And the best part; when I will move, I will take my Bluetooth opener with me to my new place!! Awesome.

After watching Lou's You Tube video I decided to buy all the items locally (I'm in the UK) to self-build my Bluetooth garage opener. It took me 1/2hr to build & install and worked flawlessly from the very beginning. The app itself is simple and straightforward and offers just the right amount of customisation. Building the receiver is as easy as Lou makes it look and the app works well. Thanks Lou.

Finally a way to open your garage with your phone! A little do-it-yourself and you're good to go. I like the DIY but if you don't he sells the pre-fabbed kits that are ready to go. He responds quick. (same day) to questions and the app just gets better and better.

Works great with compatible headsets. HM1300 did not work, but I used an old Soyo headset and everything works great. Thanks.

This app was was easy to install as was hardware I ordered from the website. So far, it's working very well. I was having issues with my traditional garage door opener, so this has been a great alternative. Thanks Lou!

I did the work myself and the app makes the use of it much easier. I have been using this for about 2-3 years now and it is awesome!

just finished several bluetooth earpiece mods... thanks to this app i now have a bluetooth remote for my garage, a bluetooth remote garage side-door lock (made using a car-door lock solenoid, relay, and bluetooth earpiece), and a bluetooth activated security light. This app does exactly what it says it does, and it is super easy to build your own bluetooth "whatever" to work with it. I tried a few other custom bluetooth remote apps, and they all had bugs and connection issues. This app works perfect when used as suggested, or maybe even how not suggested, depending on your level of tinkering. I will also be using the GarageMate 4.0 as soon as I get a bluetooth 4.0 control module.... the possibilities are endless..... To infinity and beyond.....

App is great. Slick, polished, does just what it says. I had fun building it. Instead of sliding the transistor along the edge of the connector, I soldered it to the plug up near the top.

I'm very happy to be able to open my garage door with my phone. I followed their instructions and built my own Bluetooth garage door opener. The app itself has nice features like the ability to automatically background itself after 10 secs. Everything in the name of absolute ease of use. Please make an iPhone version for my wife's phone.

It took a little work to get the HM1100 adapter connected the the garage door but after that was completed it's been all rainbows and unicorns. The app works perfectly.

Work like a charm. I set it up on 4 phones and can control my garage with any of them. Only thing missing is a widget to control the door.

A very doable "Kid" project that cleverly demonstrates the use of a transistor as a switch, triggered wirelessly by software on your cell phone.

Built my adapter based off of the youtube video. That cost $15 in parts. Installed the app, worked first time the button was pushed.

Secure and reliable garage door opener without carrying another device. Easy installation of receiver and superb support if you need help.

I have a door opener that is bluetooth that is said to work with this app but there is no way to pair it with the app. When I click on help it brings me back to the super unhelpful read me page.

I've been using the app for over a year now and am very happy with it. Its simple to use and easy to configure. As others have stated the developer is quick to respond to questions.

Easy to follow video instructions, simple to build, works like a charm and no ugly garage door opener on my visor, THANK YOU

Does not work properly. Causes my garage door to open close open close open close by itself without me doing anything. This is not safe at all
