In the Helderberg, most remote call-outs are about keeping things simple. Homeowners in Somerset West estates want one remote for the house gate and garage, families in Strand need a few extra for teenagers or a gardener, and sea air in Gordon’s Bay slowly eats away at receiver contacts until the remote only works up close.
We set up access that just works. See our main remotes and receivers service.
We test the remotes, receiver and signal before recommending anything, so you only pay for what’s actually wrong.
Centurion Nova and ET Nice code-hopping remotes coded on site, including multi-button setups for gate and garage.
Faulty or corroded receivers replaced and external receivers fitted for better range.
More memory and single-remote deletion for households and small businesses.

If your motors are compatible, we can set it up in one visit. Contact us to book.
Cape Smart Automation has worked on Cape Town gates, garages and remotes for over ten years. We explain the fault, quote in writing and won’t replace what doesn’t need replacing. About us.
Range, compatibility and corrosion are the usual suspects.
A weak battery, corroded antenna or buried receiver. We test and fit an external receiver where needed.
Different receiver systems. We code both to one remote or add a compatible receiver.
Often a surge or moisture. We diagnose and replace it. See our gate problems guide.
Simple setups that keep working.
Remote, receiver and range checked on site.
Gate, garage and pedestrian gate on one remote.
What Helderberg homeowners ask us most.
Usually, yes. A multi-button remote can run up to three or four doors if the receivers are compatible. If your gate and garage use different systems, we can fit an extra receiver so one remote does everything. We check what’s installed on site first.
We supply and code Centurion Nova and ET Nice code-hopping remotes, which work with most gate and garage motors in the Helderberg. They can’t be copied like old fixed-code remotes, so they’re more secure. We confirm compatibility with your receiver before coding.
Start with a new battery. If that doesn’t help, the receiver antenna may be corroded, especially near the sea in Strand and Gordon’s Bay, or the receiver may be shielded by a metal cover. We test both and fix the cause, often with an external antenna.
Yes. On most modern receivers we can delete a single remote so it stops working. On older units, we clear the memory and recode the remotes you still have. Either way, a lost remote shouldn’t be left active on your gate.
