Remootio 3 wiring diagrams
Remootio 3 connects to your gate or garage door opener in one of two ways. A single input opener has one push-button or impulse terminal: one wire goes to the “0V”, “GND” or “COM” terminal and the other to the terminal marked “CYC”, “IMPULSE”, “PB”, “START” or similar. A dual input opener has separate open and close terminals: output 1 goes to open, output 2 goes to close, and you select “Output 1: output to open | Output 2: output to close” in the app.
The outputs are polarity independent, so the order of the two wires within the same output terminal does not matter. The single and dual input wiring diagrams are in step 2 below, and the full set is in the PDF manual. For the diagram for your make and model, use the compatibility checker.
Step-by-step guide
Follow each step carefully. Ensure the circuit breaker is switched off before beginning any wiring work.
Unboxing
Open the box and remove the Remootio device. The wires, double-sided adhesives and the sensor can be found under the removable paper insert.
What's included:
A — 1x Remootio 3 unit, B — 1x Sensor (wired part, 4m cable), C — 1x Sensor (wireless part), D — 2x Double-sided adhesives for sensor, E — 1x Double-sided adhesive for Remootio unit, F — 1x Power cord (USB A to barrel jack, 1m), G — 1x Control wire (1m), H — 1x Installation manual, K — 1x USB charger (type G / UK plug).
Remove the plastic cover
Use a cross-head screwdriver to remove the screw from the Remootio unit and remove the plastic cover to expose the circuit board and terminals.
Caution: Before beginning wiring, ensure you have read this guide carefully and entirely, and that the circuit breaker of your gate or garage door is switched off with no power in the system.
Wiring the control output
Connect Remootio's control output to the appropriate input terminals of your gate or garage door opener. There are two types of configuration depending on your system:
Single input type
Use the included pair of wires to connect Remootio's control output to your opener's input terminal. One lead connects to the "0V", "GND" or "COM" terminal and the other to "CYC", "IMPULSE", "IMP", "PB", "PP", "START", "SW", "TRG", "WALL BUTTON" or similar, depending on your manufacturer's naming convention.
The outputs are polarity independent — within the same output terminal, the order of the wires does not matter.
Dual input type (separate open and close)
Connect Remootio's output #1 to the "open" input terminal and output #2 to the "close" input terminal. In the Remootio app, go to Settings > Output Configuration and select "Output 1: output to open | Output 2: output to close".
The outputs are polarity independent within the same output terminal.
Use the compatibility checker to find the correct wiring diagram for your specific make and model. If your opener is not listed, contact us for a custom wiring diagram.
Sensor installation
Connect the sensor to terminal 4 of the Remootio 3 unit. Use the included adhesives to mount the wireless part of the sensor on the moving part of the gate or garage door, positioned so that it is no more than 30mm from the wired part when the gate or door is closed.
When enabling the sensor interface in the app, make sure to select the corresponding input (in this case "input 1").
Connecting an accessory (optional)
You can connect a manual control button or a doorbell button to terminal 5 of the Remootio board. The inputs are polarity independent — the order of the wires within the same terminal does not matter.
Reassemble the unit
Use a screwdriver to reassemble the Remootio unit. Make sure that you do not damage the wires during reassembly. Apply the double-sided tape to the back of the unit for mounting.
Powering Remootio
Caution: Before connecting power, make sure the circuit breaker of your gate or garage door is switched off and there is no power in the system.
There are four ways to power your Remootio 3 unit:
Option A — Included USB charger
Connect the included USB power cord to the Remootio unit and plug the USB charger into a nearby mains socket.
Option B — From the gate control board
Remootio 3 has a wide operating voltage range (5-32V DC / 12-24V AC), so you can use the dedicated power terminals on your gate control board to power the unit directly.
Option C — Solar / battery powered
Connect Remootio's power cord to the battery of a solar-powered gate system, provided the voltage is within the 5-32V DC range. Most solar gate batteries are 12V. At 12V, Remootio draws approximately 30mA in normal mode and 15mA in low power mode. A typical 7,000mAh gate battery will run Remootio for weeks even without recharging.
Option D — External mains adapter (APV 8-5)
If there is no mains socket nearby and no suitable output on the control board, an external 110V/230V to 5V power adapter can be used. Connect the blue (neutral) and brown (line) wires to the corresponding mains terminals, leaving all previously connected wires in place.
Warning: Do not install the external mains power adapter unless you are a qualified professional or fully knowledgeable about mains electrical wiring.
Download the Remootio app
The Remootio app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. If you already have the app installed, ensure it is updated to the latest version before adding or updating a device.
When Remootio is not yet set up, the LED will blink approximately twice per second. After Wi-Fi is configured, the LED will be illuminated continuously.
Set up the Remootio unit
Launch the Remootio app and make sure your smartphone's Bluetooth is enabled. Tap "Set up new device" and wait until the app finds the Remootio unit and completes the setup process.
After successful setup, the LED will blink once every 5 seconds. Your Remootio 3 is now ready to use.

Remootio 3 installation questions
Answers taken from the Remootio 3 installation manual.
The single and dual input wiring diagrams are in step 2 of this manual, with a pinout reference at the end, and the full set is in the free PDF manual. For the diagram for your specific opener, use the Remootio compatibility checker. If your opener is not listed, contact us for a custom wiring diagram.
A single input opener has one push-button or impulse terminal, usually labelled CYC, IMPULSE, IMP, PB, PP, START, SW, TRG or WALL BUTTON, alongside 0V, GND or COM. A dual input opener has separate terminals to open and to close. For dual input, connect output 1 to open and output 2 to close, then set the output configuration in the Remootio app.
No. The Remootio 3 outputs are polarity independent, so within the same output terminal the order of the wires does not matter.
Yes. You can download the Remootio 3 installation manual as a PDF, and there is a full video walkthrough on this page.
