 Step 4 - Connect the control output of the Remootio unit to the appropriate input terminals of your gate or garage door. 

Based on the type of required control input, there are two types of gates and garage doors:

  • A single signal (impulse) can open, stop and close the gate or garage door
  • Two separate signals (impulses) needed:
    • One signal for opening
    • and another signal for closing.

Single input type:

Different manufacturers name their control inputs differently. The most common terms are as follows:

"CYC", "IMPULSE", "IMP", "KBUTT", "OPERATE", "OSC", "PB", "PP", "SBS", "SS", "START", "STRT", "SW", "TRG", "WALL BUTTON", "WALL CONTROL".

Connect Remootio's control output to the appropriate input terminal of your garage door / gate control board.

Please visit https://www.remootio.com/pages/compatibility and enter the make and model of your gate or garage door to search for the correct wiring diagram.
