1Control Solo: what it is and how it works
The perfect ally to control the automatic gates of homes, hotels, companies, B & Bs. Any private structure can be managed byapricancello smart. Its operation is particularly simple: the device is able to learn the code of your remote control and transmit it to the control unit of the gate or garage door. Of course, he will only do it when you ask him through the appropriate application to install on your smartphone.
To prepare it for first use, of course, you will need the remote control you usually use, your smartphone and the device. The configuration is very simple and explained in detail by the tutorials present at the start of the app (available for Android and iOS).
The connection between 1Control Solo and your smartphone takes place via Bluetooth (the one present on the device is version 4.0). The coverage range is variable, it depends on the obstacles present between the two devices, and reaches a maximum of 15 meters.
When you are done, you will be able to open and close your gate (or garage door) simply by using your smartphone. You no longer need a remote control. Compatibility
Simple installation
The installation of 1Control Solo does not require the use of special tools and does not even require the presence of electrical sockets near the gate where you will place the device. Thanks to the presence of a integrated battery, in fact, there will be no cables to fix. Furthermore, 1Control Solo is resistant to water and dust therefore it can be installed outdoors without any risk.
Personally, although I could have fixed it to the gate with cable ties, I preferred to use it to fix it to the wall. Obviously, you will have maximum freedom of choice on the positioning of your device.

My experience of use
1Control Solo has been my trusted companion for a few months now. I tend to constantly forget the remote control and, if for some reason I move it from its usual place, the risk of having to climb over to get home is very high.
With the 'apricancello smart, just remember to have the smartphone battery charged! The device hardly does not recognize the commands sent with the smartphone. However, the times to open the gate are slightly slower than using the remote control. This is because the signal is sent first to 1Control and then to the control unit. Nothing that makes it impossible to use.
Of course, it is possible configure the smart gate opener on multiple devices. Useful for sharing the convenience of opening doors and gates with your smartphone with family members. I have successfully exploited it on two devices.
Ultimately, considering the very affordable price and the interesting performances, I believe that 1Control Solo can be a valid ally in different situations. Particularly recommended for those who, like me, constantly forget various keys and remote controls!
