Components: Sectional garage door, garage door operator and plug-in module from Novoferm, SmartHome gateway from the relevant partner, standard router with internet connection and the SmartHome app from the partner.

The smart garage door components can be installed after the sectional garage door and operator have been installed by a qualified Novoferm sales partner.

The SmartHome gateway manages communications between the individual SmartHome components. It is connected to the mains in the house and to the router via a LAN cable. An internet connection is required so that the gateway can also be operated remotely.

Please observe the specific instructions of the relevant manufacturer! To be able to operate the Novoferm sectional garage door, the gateway must first be configured in the apps from the SmartHome partners according to the instructions.

Once the SmartHome gateway has been set up, the operator can be integrated into the system. To do this, open the operator’s cover. A mini-USB interface can then be found to connect the plug-in module.

Note: After plugging in, the module automatically enters a “teach mode” for a limited period of time. After going through the “teach mode”, the module needs to be removed and replugged in.

Start the app and assign the plug-in module to the SmartHome gateway. Activate the “Teach devices” in the app. The plug-in module is now displayed as a new device. A part of the serial number may need to be entered. Once the operator has been included, it is assigned to various categories/rooms (outdoors, garage, etc.). This is necessary for operation and automation (lighting, alarm scenarios, etc.).

Configuration varies depending on the SmartHome partner.

When doors are operated via an app or when the doors are not in sight of the user, an opto sensor is required which detects obstacles and automatically stops the closing process.

Sectional garage doors have never been this easy to use. The doors are easy to open and close using an app and moving your finger over the touch screen. From work or when on holiday. Do you have two Novoferm garage doors? Even better! The apps enable two separate doors to be individually operated.

Exhaust fumes and humidity affect you garage’s air quality. Regular ventilation can help here and ensures sufficient air circulation to prevent mould formation. The door is easy to move into the ventilation position by app, i.e. the door opens by 10 cm to allow airing.

Possible with

A smart sectional garage door not only contributes to your comfort, but also to your security. You can integrate a garage door into your smart security and surveillance technology according to the components you use.

For example, to deter burglars, you can program an outdoor light to activate and a security camera to record an image whenever the garage door is opened after 8 pm.

Would you like your garage door to open automatically when the garage becomes too humid? Then program an appropriate ventilation scenario.

Specify that the garage door will automatically move to the ventilation position when sensors detect humidity. The door will re-close after 60 minutes when not manually closed beforehand. It can therefore never remain open unintentionally.
