About this app

The application allows you to remotely control your OpenGarage garage opener.

Features of the app include:
* Unobtrusive UI with a single button to open/close on the main page
* Allows full configuration of the device including all settings (must be on the local LAN)
* Allows logs data to be viewed (must be on the local LAN)

This application requires you to own an OpenGarage and that it is already setup and working. Also, for the app to remotely control the unit, Blynk token must be entered on the device configuration. In the future, the app will help detect and setup the device.

This is open source software: source code for this application can be found at https://github.com/OpenGarage/OpenGarage-App

Ratings and reviews

Wasn't able to get it to work using the Blynk token. I have a reverse proxy configured with SSL for extra security and was able to add it that way. Just had to add by IP, but I used the DNS address instead of the IP. Hopefully the Blynk part is resolved for those using it, but I actually prefer this method since it doesn't rely on external services for functionality.

I'm not using this app to its full potential but just having the option to see the status of the door and operating the opener instead of reaching the operator is enough for me. Zero issues in all respects.

I can't create an account on the app and can only continue as a guest no matter what I try. So far the app won't setup a new device or see it. I can manually connect to the og_*** and the so still doesn't see it. I setup the device in "login" screen and can see in my router it connects but the app still never connects to the device.

What's new

Add support to use self-hosted Blynk servers including the OpenThings Blynk server
