With a call
You call, and it opens
The device recognises your number, rejects the call and opens. It costs nothing, with any phone, even without internet.
BGates AI 4G
It opens gates, doors and entrances, and switches any load with a relay. With the BGates SIM already inside, activated in a minute.
The product
A module in the panel, a SIM inside, one app for everyone
BGates AI 4G is installed next to the gate motor or in the electrical panel, on the contacts that are already there. It has its own 4G SIM inside: no phone line, no Wi-Fi, no changes to the system. The same relay can switch on a light, a boiler, a pump.

The command travels over the device’s 4G network. The app opens in the browser and can be added to the home screen.
Via Bluetooth
Up close, even with no signal
Within 10–20 metres of the device: it opens even where the phone has no signal.
Two ways to use it
With the BGates SIM it does everything. With yours, the essentials.

What it controls
One relay, five ways of working
Each BGates AI 4G controls the automation it is connected to. Mode, duration and schedule are changed remotely: nobody has to go on site.
Pulse
Open and close
Gates, doors, garage doors, barriers. The pulse duration can be set to a tenth of a second.
Bistable
On / off
Lights, pumps, machinery: it stays as you left it and you can see its state.
Timer
For as long as needed
Switch on for a set time and the device switches off by itself.
Scheduled
By itself, every day
Time slots: the gate open during office hours, the lights in the evening.
Thermostat
The right temperature
Boiler or air conditioner, summer or winter, frost protection. You read the temperature on your phone.
With the BGates SIM · the management dashboard
Decide who gets in, and when
Whoever manages logs in at dashboard.bgates.it, from computer or phone: the devices, who can open them and when. Whoever opens only sees their own button.
Up to 1,000 people
Everyone with their own number
With the Business plan, days, time slot and expiry date for each person; with Smart up to 500 people. Removed access disappears immediately, inside the device too.
Invites
The welcome on WhatsApp
Whoever is authorised receives the number to call and the link to open. Those without WhatsApp receive it by text message. Or a QR code to scan.
Groups
Several entrances, one number
With the Business plan: driveway, pedestrian gate and garages together; the number is entered once and reaches them all, even at different addresses.
History and status
Who opened, and when
Every command is recorded with time and outcome. Whether the device is online or not, and an alert if it does not respond.

Questions and answers
What people ask before buying it, with the short answer.
- No. BGates AI 4G has its own 4G SIM inside and works on the mobile network: it doesn’t use Wi-Fi, doesn’t connect to your router and doesn’t need a phone line. All it needs is power, 90–240 V AC.
- Up to 1,000 authorised numbers per device with the Business plan, 500 with Smart. Each person opens with their own number, and you don’t pay per person. With Business you can also set days, time slot and expiry for each one.
- No. The device recognises your number, rejects the call and opens: it costs nothing. It works with any phone, even without internet.
- The BGates ALLEUROPE IOT SIM connects to the operator with the strongest signal anywhere in Europe, and data traffic across Europe is included in the fee. From the app the command arrives from any distance, so you can open even when you’re far away.
- It opens via Bluetooth, within 10–20 metres of the device, even where your phone has no signal. The Bluetooth app is included with Business; with Smart it costs €5.99 on iOS and €4.99 on Android, once per user. If it’s the panel that gets poor reception, the external 4G antenna takes the signal outside the panel.
- The relay controls gates, doors, garage doors and barriers, but also lights, pumps, a boiler or an air conditioner. It works as impulse, on/off, timer, schedule or thermostat, and the mode can be changed remotely.
- An installer fits it in the electrical panel, on a DIN rail (4 modules), wiring the relay to the “start” or “pedestrian” input of the control unit. Then it’s active in under two minutes: you scan the QR code on the device, choose the plan and pay.
