USB remote gate opener looks like a small flash memory, and doesn’t need a battery!

The USB remote gate opener is one of the best ways to control the automatic driveway gates.

One great way to open the gate or automatic garage door instead of using remote controls is to use the USB remote gate opener when you drive to your driveway gate or garage door.
You need to insert the USB remote into the vehicle’s USB charger and leave it there.

The USB remote gate openers are powered by the vehicle battery and the vehicle’s power converter system. USB remote gate openers need fixed and regulated electric power, and USB gate openers are sensitive to any power amperage changes, and physical damage such as being dropped. So, similar to remote controllers, they do not come with any warranty.

The USB remote gate opener has to be inserted into the USB interface of the vehicle that has the electric power output, and when the vehicle is in the ON mode, the USB remote emits the opening command.

If the USB remote gate opener is accidentally inserted into the wrong USB powered with a 24/7 electric power output (found in some vehicles), it sends the gate an opening pulse every 3 seconds to the gate and your gate will not be able to close.

If the vehicle with the inserted USB remote gate opener is parked close to the driveway gate or garage door when the vehicle’s engine is working or is in the ON mode, it sends the gate opening pulses, and your gate will not be able to close.

The motor will automatically open the automated driveway gate or garage door after receiving the opening command from the USB remote gate opener.

The gate opener system’s auto-closing function has to be active and programmed by timing to close the driveway gate after entering or exiting the property.

A USB remote gate opener is a device that allows you to open and close automatic gates or garage doors by plugging a USB dongle into your car’s USB port. It acts as a convenient, hands-free alternative to traditional remote controls.

Here’s how it generally works:

  • USB Transmitter Dongle: This small device, resembling a USB flash drive, plugs into your car’s USB port. It’s powered by the vehicle’s electrical system, so it doesn’t require its own battery.
  • Sensing Signal: When the car is on and the USB dongle is plugged in, it emits a sensing signal, often using radio waves or Bluetooth (e.g., 2.4GHz Bluetooth).
  • Receiver: A corresponding receiver unit is connected to your gate’s motor or control panel.
  • Gate Activation: When your car, with the USB dongle, comes within range (typically around 10 meters), the receiver detects the signal and automatically activates the gate motor to open or close the gate.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Hands-free operation: No need to fumble for a separate remote control, making it convenient when approaching your gate.
  • No battery needed: Powered by your car’s USB port.
  • Compact and portable: Small size makes it easy to keep in your car.
  • Easy installation: Typically involves simply plugging the USB transmitter into your car and connecting the receiver to your gate motor.
  • Compatibility: Designed to work with various types of automatic gates and garage doors.
  • Security: Many systems use secure coding (like rolling codes) to prevent unauthorized access. Some systems can even store multiple USB dongle codes.
  • Automatic closing: Many gate systems have an auto-close function, which can be combined with the USB opener for fully automated entry and exit.

It’s important to note that some USB gate openers are specific to certain brands or types of gate systems, while others offer more universal compatibility. It’s also crucial to ensure proper installation to avoid issues, such as the gate remaining open if the car is parked too close with the engine running.
