I'm looking for a solution that will allow open/close control of 5 garage doors from a single remote or iPhone app. The doors are at several different locations and the motors are from different manufacturers. We own multiple properties and they all require different remotes to access the doors so the goal would be to eliminate the need for a bag full of remotes and instead have a single remote or app that would open/close the doors no matter which property we were on.
What I'm thinking is that I would need a generic, manufacturer independent, relay device that would trigger an open/close command upon a button activation. Bluetooth is the only viable option I can see that would allow for site independent control. We installed several of these http://www.securemote.com but there was a quirky bluetooth connection issue with the newer iPhones that required the units to be re-paired to the iPhone each time they came in proximity, they would not automatically re-connect. I spoke with tech support and they were aware of the issue but could not provide a solution.
Does anyone know of any other products out there that might do something like this?
