Description
The ATA Smart Phone Control Kit – Part No. 86953 is a genuine Automatic Technology smart connectivity package designed to add smartphone control and remote monitoring to compatible ATA garage door openers.
The complete kit combines the ATA Network Smart Hub with the appropriate network transceiver, power supply and connection hardware required to connect a compatible opener to the ATA smartphone platform.
Once installed and configured, the system allows the garage door to be monitored and controlled through a compatible smartphone, providing convenient access whether you are at home or away from the property.
Automatic Technology currently identifies Part No. 86953 as the ATA Smart Phone Kit V2 Next Gen.
📱 Smartphone Control for Your Garage Door
The ATA Smart Phone Control Kit provides an additional way to operate your compatible garage door opener without relying solely on a conventional handheld remote.
Once connected, supported functions can include:
- Remote garage door opening and closing
- Door status monitoring
- Smartphone operation
- Push notifications
- Activity monitoring
- Remote access while away from home
- Control alongside existing garage door remotes
A suitable internet connection is required at the property for remote smartphone functionality.
🌐 ATA Network Smart Hub
The Network Smart Hub forms the central connection between the garage door opener and the ATA smartphone platform.
The Smart Hub connects the system to the property’s network, while the network transceiver installed at the garage door opener communicates the opener’s commands and status information back to the Smart Hub.
Together, these components allow a compatible ATA garage door opener to become part of the ATA connected smart control system.
📡 Network Transceiver Included
The kit includes the appropriate network transceiver required to connect the compatible opener to the Smart Hub.
The transceiver is installed at the garage door opener and provides the communication interface between the opener and the Network Smart Hub.
This allows information to travel in both directions, enabling the system to send operating commands to the opener while also receiving supported door status information.
🏠 Upgrade a Compatible Existing Opener
The ATA Smart Phone Control Kit provides a convenient way to add modern connected functionality to a compatible existing ATA garage door opener.
Rather than replacing an otherwise serviceable opener simply to gain smartphone functionality, the Smart Hub and transceiver can be added to compatible systems.
This makes the kit ideal for:
- Existing compatible ATA openers
- Smart home upgrades
- Residential sectional garage doors
- Replacement smart control systems
- Homes with multiple garage users
- Properties requiring remote garage access
🌎 Control Your Garage While Away
One of the major advantages of smartphone connectivity is the ability to interact with the garage door when you are away from the property.
This can be useful when:
- Checking whether the garage door was left open
- Providing access to an authorised person
- Arriving home without a remote
- Allowing a family member into the garage
- Monitoring garage door activity
- Managing access while away from home
Remote functionality requires the Smart Hub and property’s internet connection to remain operational.
👀 Door Status Monitoring
Smart control provides more than simply another button for operating the garage door.
The compatible system can communicate door status information through the Smart Hub, allowing the user to monitor the connected garage door through the supported ATA smartphone platform.
This provides additional peace of mind when away from the property.
🔔 Smart Notifications
Supported ATA Smart Phone Control systems can provide notifications relating to garage door activity.
Depending on the opener and current app functionality, notifications can provide greater visibility over when the garage door is being operated or when attention may be required.
This can be particularly useful in households where several people regularly use the garage.
🔄 Existing Remotes Continue to Operate
Installing the ATA Smart Phone Control Kit does not replace the existing remote control functionality of the garage door opener.
Compatible handheld remotes and wall controls can continue to be used normally.
Smartphone control simply provides an additional method of controlling and monitoring the garage door.
🧩 Complete Smart Control Package
Purchasing the complete Smart Phone Control Kit provides the primary components required to add smart connectivity to the compatible opener.
A complete ATA Smart Phone Control package typically incorporates:
- ATA Network Smart Hub
- Compatible Network Transceiver
- Smart Hub power supply
- Transceiver connection hardware
- Installation components
This is different from purchasing the Network Smart Hub or transceiver individually, which may be more appropriate when replacing an existing component or adding another opener to an established Smart Hub system.
📶 Wi-Fi & Internet Connection Required
The Network Smart Hub requires a suitable network and ongoing internet connection at the installation location for remote smartphone functionality.
If the internet connection is temporarily unavailable, remote smart functionality may also become unavailable.
The garage door opener can generally continue to operate through its normal compatible handheld remotes and local controls.
🛡️ Safety Beams for Smart-Controlled Openers
Smartphone control allows a garage door to be activated when the user may not have direct line-of-sight of the door.
For this reason, appropriate obstruction detection is particularly important when remote smart operation is enabled.
Compatible photoelectric safety beams monitor the garage door opening and allow the opener to detect an obstruction during closing.
⚠️ Safety Beams Required for Smart Control
Australian safety requirements call for appropriate safety protection where an automatic garage door can be remotely operated without the user having direct line-of-sight of the door.
For smart-controlled garage door applications, compatible photoelectric safety beams should be installed and correctly commissioned before remote smartphone operation is enabled.
🔧 Ideal for New or Existing Smart Installations
The complete kit can be used when initially adding smart control to a compatible garage door opener.
Individual components such as the Network Smart Hub and transceiver are also available separately where an existing smart control installation requires repair or expansion.
This makes the modular ATA system suitable for:
- New smartphone control installations
- Replacement Smart Hub installations
- Replacement transceiver installations
- Additional compatible garage door openers
- Existing smart control system repairs

Compatibility
The ATA Smart Phone Control Kit – Part No. 86953 is designed for compatible ATA garage door opener applications requiring the NextGen smart control arrangement.
Published Australian parts information specifically identifies the 86953 kit for the:
- Tempo – ATS-2
The 86953 package is sold with the appropriate Tempo transceiver and Smart Hub arrangement for this opener.
This is important because ATA uses different transceiver arrangements across its garage door and gate operator range.
For example, the earlier ATA Smart Phone Control Kit uses an NTR-1V1 transceiver with compatible GDO-series openers, NeoSlider operators and DCB-05V2 gate controllers, while Tempo ATS-2 requires the different 86953 smartphone kit.
⚠️ Please Note
Part No. 86953 is the ATA Smart Phone Kit V2 Next Gen and should be matched to the correct compatible garage door opener before ordering.
The exact transceiver supplied or required is important, as ATA uses different NTR transceiver versions and connection arrangements across different operator platforms.
For smart-controlled garage doors, compatible photoelectric safety beams should be installed and correctly commissioned before remote smartphone operation is enabled.
A suitable Wi-Fi and internet connection is also required at the property for remote smartphone functionality.
