The package includes:
- ATA NextGen Smart Phone Control Kit
- Smart Hub
- Compatible Network Transceiver
- Smart Hub Power Supply
- Wall Mount Kit

- Wireless Safety Beam Receiver

📱 Control Your Garage Door From Your Smartphone
The ATA NextGen Smart Phone Control Kit allows your compatible garage door opener to be controlled using the Automatic Technology App.
Once connected and configured, your smartphone can effectively become another garage door controller.
Depending on the compatible opener and system configuration, you can:
- Open your garage door remotely
- Close your garage door remotely
- Check whether the door is open or closed
- Receive door status notifications
- Monitor garage door activity
- Review previous activity
- Manage compatible doors through the ATA App
- Control multiple compatible locations from one app
Remote operation is subject to internet, Wi-Fi and mobile network availability.
🌏 Remote Access From Virtually Anywhere
Smart Phone Control allows you to operate and monitor your compatible garage door even when you are away from home.
This can be particularly useful when you need to:
- Allow a family member into the garage
- Provide temporary access to the property
- Check whether the garage door was left open
- Close the garage door after leaving home
- Monitor garage access while away
- Provide access for an authorised visitor
- Check the door while travelling
As long as the system and your smartphone have the required network connectivity, you can stay connected to your garage door without being physically at the property.
👀 Check Your Garage Door Status
One of the major advantages of Smart Phone Control is the ability to check the status of your compatible garage door through the Automatic Technology App.
Rather than wondering whether the garage door was closed when you left home, the app allows you to check its status remotely.
This provides additional convenience and peace of mind, particularly for garages that provide direct access into the home.
🔔 Smart Notifications
The Automatic Technology App can provide notifications relating to your connected garage door.
Depending on your configuration, notifications can help keep you informed about garage door activity and provide greater visibility over when the door is being operated.
This can be particularly useful for households with multiple users accessing the same garage.
📋 Activity Monitoring
Smart Phone Control provides access to garage door activity information through the Automatic Technology App.
This can help you monitor when the connected garage door has been operated and provide greater awareness of activity at the property.
Activity monitoring is particularly useful for:
- Family homes
- Shared garages
- Properties with multiple authorised users
- Holiday properties
- Rental properties
- Garages providing direct access to the home
👥 Manage Multiple Users & Locations
The Automatic Technology App is designed to manage compatible garage doors and gates across multiple locations.
This means compatible automation at your home, workplace, investment property or other location can potentially be managed through the same app.
The system provides a convenient central interface for compatible ATA automation without requiring a separate physical remote for every location.
📶 Wi-Fi Connected Smart Hub
The NextGen Smart Phone Control system uses a Smart Hub connected to your property’s Wi-Fi network.
The Smart Hub provides the communication link between the Automatic Technology cloud service, smartphone app and compatible garage door opener.
A suitable Wi-Fi signal must therefore be available at the installation location.
For reliable operation:
- A compatible Wi-Fi network is required
- The Wi-Fi router must provide adequate signal coverage
- Internet access must be available
- The Smart Hub requires power
- The compatible transceiver must be correctly connected to the opener
Network performance and internet availability can affect remote operation.
📡 NextGen Network Transceiver
The Smart Phone Control Kit includes the compatible transceiver required to connect the Smart Hub system to a supported garage door opener.
The transceiver provides the communication interface between the opener and Smart Phone Control network.
Correct transceiver compatibility is important, as not every ATA or B&D operator uses the same smart-control interface.
👁️ Wireless Safety Beams Included
This bundle also includes ATA Wireless Safety Beams.
Safety Beams create an invisible infrared detection path across the garage door opening.
If a person, vehicle, pet or other obstruction interrupts the beam while the garage door is closing, the opener can stop and reverse the door according to its programmed safety operation.
This provides an important additional layer of protection, particularly when the garage door can be operated remotely without the person controlling it having direct line of sight.
📡 Wireless Installation
ATA’s Wireless Safety Beams are battery powered, reducing the amount of wiring required across the garage door opening.
Traditional photoelectric beams can require wiring to be run from the garage door opener to both sides of the opening.
Wireless Safety Beams simplify this installation by allowing the beam units to communicate wirelessly with the compatible opener system.
This can be particularly useful for:
- Existing garages without safety beam wiring
- Finished garages where exposed conduit is undesirable
- Retrofit installations
- Garages where running new wiring is difficult
- Cleaner-looking installations
🛡️ Essential Safety for Remote Operation
Smartphone control creates an important safety consideration because the garage door can potentially be operated when the user does not have direct line of sight to the door.
For this reason, compatible Safety Beams are required when a smart device is used to operate a garage door remotely without direct line of sight.
The Safety Beams monitor the garage door opening and provide an additional means of detecting an obstruction during automatic closing.
This bundle conveniently combines both systems so the Smart Phone Control and required safety equipment can be installed together.
🚗 Protect People, Vehicles & Property
Wireless Safety Beams provide additional protection around an automatically operated garage door.
The infrared beam continuously monitors the opening while the system is active.
Potential obstructions can include:
- Vehicles
- People
- Children
- Pets
- Bicycles
- Equipment
- Stored items extending into the doorway
When the beam is interrupted during closing, the compatible opener can respond by stopping and reversing the garage door.
🔄 Auto-Close Capability
On compatible garage door openers, Safety Beams can also enable automatic closing functions.
Auto-Close allows the garage door to automatically close after a predetermined period rather than requiring the user to manually issue a closing command.
The exact Auto-Close functionality available depends on the connected garage door opener and its programmed settings.
Safety Beams must be correctly installed and commissioned before compatible automatic closing functions are used.
🏠 Ideal Upgrade for Existing Compatible Openers
The NextGen Smart Phone Control Kit is designed to add smart connectivity to compatible ATA and B&D garage door openers that do not already have integrated smartphone control.
This makes it an excellent upgrade for an existing compatible garage door opener that is otherwise operating correctly.
Rather than replacing the entire opener simply to gain smart connectivity, the Smart Phone Control system can add remote operation and monitoring to supported models.
📲 Automatic Technology App
The system operates through the Automatic Technology App.
Once the Smart Hub and compatible opener have been configured, the app provides the interface for monitoring and controlling the connected automation.
The app allows compatible garage doors and gates to be managed from a smartphone, providing a central location for supported Automatic Technology automation systems.

Safety Beams must be correctly installed and commissioned when the garage door is capable of being operated remotely without direct line of sight.
Compatibility varies between ATA and B&D opener models and production versions. Please confirm your exact opener model before ordering.
