Openers

Open it from your phone.

Garador’s Home Access App lets you open, close and check the door from anywhere, get a notification when it’s used, and let someone in without handing over a remote. It’s built into the Genius and comes as a kit for most other Garador openers.

A notification every time the door opens or closes, with the activity history in the app.

Let people in

Open the door for a delivery or a tradesperson from wherever you are, then check it has closed.

Which openers

Built into the Garador Genius. A smartphone control kit adds it to most Garador openers installed since August 2016.

On your wrist too

The app works on Apple Watch too, so you can open or check the door from your wrist.

Safety beams come with it

Because the door can close with nobody there, New Zealand’s standard has required safety beams on smartphone-controlled openers since December 2020. We fit them as part of the install.

Smart access questions

Still unsure? Call 09 550 8868 and talk to our Albany team.

Do I need Wi‑Fi?

The hub connects to your home Wi‑Fi; your phone uses Wi‑Fi or mobile data. Remote control is subject to both being available.

Can other people in the house use it?

Yes. Family members get their own access in the app, and you can see who used the door.

What if the app plays up?

Close and reopen it, toggle Wi‑Fi, restart the hub, and check for app and phone updates. Garador’s guides are in the owner manuals, and we can help by phone.
