jmeader43 Posted Tuesday at 16:19 Posted Tuesday at 16:19 (edited) A site I look after is being overcharged each time they request a new remote for their electric gate The controller is a Nice MCA1 I have looked into the possibility of installing a Nice universal receiver that can support low cost remotes if there is such a thing It would also need to support 50+ remotes if possible for all staff and tenants I took some photos if anyone wants to have a look and let me know please. I am having trouble uploading them from my phone at the moment though Edited Tuesday at 16:21 by jmeader43 Adding model number Quote
james.wilson Posted Tuesday at 16:30 Posted Tuesday at 16:30 as far as i can see the nice rf reciever isnt fitted. Is it the faac module? Got a pic of a remote? Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
PeterJames Posted Tuesday at 18:32 Posted Tuesday at 18:32 Looks like there are two receivers FAAC one and the Nice onboard one. The Nice ones are rolling code so have to be programmed to the controller which means an engineer has to attend site plug in a keypad and program them. Not sure about the FAAC receiver could be rolling code or a standard receiver. The Nice rolling code fobs are not cheap but they are more secure than a standard fob as they are not easily cloned.

jmeader43 Posted Tuesday at 18:48 Author Posted Tuesday at 18:48 I was thinking to implement a solution I’ve done on another gate recently which I posted on this forum using a WiFi relay called a Shelly Plus 1 which works by any number of users having their app and tapping on a button In addition a replacement keypad so there are 2 methods of opening the gate I think the remotes will end up being expensive as they may need to buy a new kit whereas the Shelly relay is about £18.00 Quote
james.wilson Posted Tuesday at 20:21 Posted Tuesday at 20:21 as i said above the nice rf module isnt fitted also the nice aerial isnt wired in Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.
jmeader43 Posted Tuesday at 20:54 Author Posted Tuesday at 20:54 There are 2 aerials but it could be for each gate. I’ll take a photo of this on Friday and check if there is another gate controller or not thanks Quote
