Our verdict
A well-regarded controller for up to two garage doors or gates that wires into the opener's push-button terminals and adds a tilt or wired sensor for real open/closed state. It costs a lot more than the £30 Meross-style boxes, so it is aimed at people who want something robust and wired. Check your opener has a push-button input.
What can Home Assistant control on the ismartgate Pro?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Door | Cover | Open or close each garage door or gate |
| Door state | Cover state | Open, closed, opening or closing from the sensor |
| Tilt sensor battery | Sensor (%) | Battery level of the wireless sensor where fitted |
Home Assistant has a built-in ismartgate integration. It polls the controller over your local network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), so no vendor cloud is needed for control. It exposes each door as a cover and its state, plus a door-open sensor. You need the controller's local login enabled.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the ismartgate Pro work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The ismartgate Pro is controlled locally in Home Assistant through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (ismartgate), so it keeps working if your internet connection or the ismartgate cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the ismartgate Pro use, and do I need a hub?
- The ismartgate Pro uses Wi-Fi. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly. ismartgate's own hub is not required when you integrate through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (ismartgate).
