Managing User Accounts in the Gate Control Application

New Update: Introduction of Account Management

An important innovation in the latest update is that from April 2, 2024, users will need an account registration to use the Gate Control application.

The spread of smart home devices significantly eases our daily lives. The Gate Control application also serves this purpose, allowing users to control their gates comfortably and efficiently. Its user-friendly interface ensures that device management is simple and smooth for everyone.

 

New Update: Introduction of Account Management

 

An important innovation in the latest update is that from Aprils 2, 2024, users will need an account registration to use the Gate Control application. At opening, a warning window will inform users about this change, emphasizing the need for registration. It's important to note that there will be a brief period after the update's release where registration can still be bypassed, but this will only be temporary.

 

Why Register Now?

Although registration is initially optional, there are several advantages to creating a Gate Control account now:

Device migration: By registering and logging in, users' devices will automatically be saved under their account, making them accessible on any device, regardless of whether they change phones.

Universal access: Logging into their account allows users to access and control their Gate Control devices, regardless of platform or device.

Push notifications: Notifications will be linked to the account, ensuring that if a user logs in on multiple devices, they will receive important push notifications everywhere.

Security: The user account offers the possibility for secure logout, protecting devices from unauthorized access, for example, if the phone is sent in for service.

 

Simple registration: Google, Facebook, and Apple

 

The Gate Control team knows that user convenience is key, so they support logging in with Google, Facebook, and Apple accounts. This means users do not need to create a new account but can quickly and easily access the application using their existing social accounts.

If you are already using the Gate Control PRO app, following registration, the app will automatically link your existing devices with your newly created account.

Important! For the automatic linking to occur smoothly, the Gate Control PRO devices must be turned on and operational, and your mobile phone must have a stable internet connection, as the migration only occurs automatically under these conditions. Otherwise, the device must be re-added to your account.

 

Coming Up: Warranty Extension in the Application

 

Another significant feature arriving this year is the option for warranty extension within the app. Soon, users will be able to easily extend their devices' warranties with a few clicks, ensuring their long-term reliability and security.

 

The latest update to the Gate Control application, the introduction of user account management, opens up new opportunities for users, including comfortable device management, secure access maintenance, and long-term warranty management of devices.

We look forward to user feedback and remain committed to providing the best user experience possible in the realm of smart gate control.
