REMOTE CONTROL OF THE GATE AND/OR PEDESTRIAN GATE
In order to remote control your gate/pedestrian gate, please make sure that the video door phone call station is
correctly wired to the gate motor, or the pedestrian gate's electric latch. Otherwise, it will not be controllable via the
“Somfy Protect” app. If this is not the case, please follow the instructions below:
