PalGate 4+

Very useful and mostly highly responsive

This is a very nice method of opening gates compared to other tech I used (such as putting a cellular call or pressing a remote control button).

One annoying thing though has happened lately, supposedly following the app update: out of the blue it required to register again, and did that at the most possible uncomfortable way.
Imagine you have finally approached your home parking after a long day at work and infinitely long traffic just to discover your Siri shortcut isn’t opening the gate.
You pull your phone off the CarPlay and press the shortcut - nothing. You open the app then to find that it requires to re/register. It happened to wife in the morning too, while she’s trying to leave promptly before the jams…

I understand that there might be a constraint making the re-registration necessary, but there must be a way to inform the user to do so at a convenient moment (push? SMS?) instead of forcing them to find it out in a most stressful manner and situation while stuck in front of the locked gate.

Hi, we are sorry for the inconvenience caused. Can you please uninstall and reinstall the application from the App Store? This will fix the issue you're experiencing. You can always contact us via email info@pal-es.com or phone 972-97920667 for support.
CarPlay is here! Please update to version 2.1.15 and enjoy (it's a rolling update so it might take some time for it to appear)

.

You need to give an option to return the default color (light blue) after changing to another color in the gate profile

Please Enable Siri Shortcuts & IFTTT

This is a nice app, but it’s missing automation features & Siri Shortcuts support. The app has very basic functionality - useful but basic.
I saw also other people suggested adding Siri Shortcuts and IFTTT support and I hope the developer can add these soon to enhance user experience.

Thank you for adding shortcuts support - this makes the application much more user friendly! Now I can use Siri & Apple Watch to open a gate!
I appreciate you taking user feedback seriously and add requested features so quickly - thumbs up 👍🏻
