Garageio is the simple and secure way to control and monitor your garage door from anywhere in the world, without replacing your existing garage door opener.
No more turning around to make sure your garage door is closed. No more leaving your garage door open all night long. Give access to your close friends and family and see who is accessing your garage and when.
Alottazs Labs, LLC, a Columbus, Ohio based company, has developed the technology to grant you and your family the peace of mind that comes with constant control over your garage door.
Garageio is a garage door management solution that has been designed with you in mind, from the start. Garageio consists of two main components: the Garageio Blackbox, a small piece of hardware you install in your garage; and the Garageio mobile app, for both Android and iPhone. This simple, seamless solution enables you to take unprecedented control of your garage.
- Open and close your garage door from anywhere in the world
- Receive a push notification to your smartphone when your door is left open
- Receive notifications when your door is opened or closed
- Monitor who accessed your door and when
- Receive an alert if your door is left open for too long
Garageio is designed to replace your garage door remote controls. Just think -- you’ll never need to buy another remote! The Garageio solution supports up to 3 doors per garage, and allows you to give access to up to 10 other users. Now your entire family has access, using only their smartphones!
Installing Garageio is easy. Installation can be performed in as little as 20 minutes and requires no special tools. The Garageio Blackbox can typically be installed using only a ladder and a screwdriver.
A single order of Garageio includes:
- Garageio Blackbox mounting hardware
- Power adapter (North America)
- One door sensor (for single-door garages)
- Installation instructions
- Warranty information
- A high quality, die-cut Garageio sticker (because everyone loves stickers!)
Note: Additional sensors are available for those who have more than one door.
Garageio is different. It is dependable, quiet and largely unnoticeable, but always there for you.
Garageio is simple. Our product allows you to control and manage your garage from anywhere in the world. It works with most garage door openers manufactured in the past 25 years. Garageio works with one, two or three separate doors. It is compatible with single-panel garage doors, sectional garage doors and many others.
Garageio thinks for you. Receive push notifications to your iPhone or Android device when your door is left open. Close the door - from anywhere in the world. Open your garage door with the swipe of a finger. Then close it again, with another swipe.
Garageio is meant to be shared. Give access to your family, friends, the mailman and the neighbor. Never worry about buying another remote control or programming another keypad ever again. Always keep track of who opened or closed your door, and when.
One rainy evening a little over a year ago, Alottazs Labs co-founder Zak Dziczkowski discovered his garage door remote was missing. After getting soaked while using the keypad, he sought a replacement remote, only to discover they’re outlandishly overpriced. That same night, he called Dave Reif, and the two began their work developing the Garageio concept; Alottazs Labs was born. In the last year we have worked with many talented people and achieved significant milestones as a result. Below, a glance at a few of the most notable.
