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

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.

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

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 

But realistically if you know where the controller connections are you can connect to it to open the gate , like if there was a push to exit
