Guardian Access & Door Hardware is proud to reveal that our garage door openers using beam™ Smart controllers are now compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto using the beam Home App!
Since their release, beam Smart products have had the ability to connect with smartphones to add a level of efficiency for homeowners. This is made possible through the beam Home App, which is available for download on the App Store and Google Play. Setting up an account in the beam Home App is simple, and customers can easily receive support through Guardian’s YouTube channel or by contacting us.
Customers have a few options when it comes to purchasing smart controls for their garage. The beam Smart Controller Kit (V2) comes with multiple parts and should be used on sectional doors with garage door openers made after 1993 with a photo-eye safety system. The beam Smart Controller (V3) comes with just one part and is compatible with specific sectional garage door openers with the beam Smart port built in.
Through the beam Home App, owners can invite trusted users to control their garage doors, enable timed auto-close, change the door name, set biometric alerts, and receive alerts if their garage doors have any issues or have been left open.
The app also connects to various smart products, including Amazon Alexa, IFTTT, & the Apple Watch. Alexa users can utilize beam’s smart features through various voice commands, such as “Alexa, ask my beam Home to open/close my garage door,” or “Alexa, ask my beam Home if my garage door is open.” Currently, Apple Watch users are only able to use the beam Home App independently if connected to cellular data, but Guardian is looking to expand this feature to all Apple Watch users.
The smart controller’s recent integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto adds an even deeper level of convenience for homeowners, who can now open and close their garage doors using their car display screen.
Setting up Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is simple and intuitive, but users can also look on beamhome.io to see step-by-step instructions on how to customize their car display screens if needed.
This feature will allow them to carry out any actions that are available through the beam Home App on their smart devices, such as viewing the status of their garage doors and opening/closing their doors.
Unlike other smart garage offerings on the market, beam Smart products require NO SUBSCRIPTION/ADDITIONAL FEES once they are installed, setting beam Smart further apart from competing product lines.
