Review on Enhanced Compatibility with Newgoal Wireless Momentary Self-Locking by Vince Preston

Revainrating 4 out of 5

--- Bitch to put up, VALUE.

I initially have 4 channels and spent over an hour getting it to work. And now it works great. So I added these 2 channels today. And spent another half hour playing with it to hook it up. Weird stuff but once registered and set up they are awesome! Too fast. Works great with Alexa and is cheap! There are a few things to consider when setting up. 1 - ENSURE your phone/Wi-Fi is set to 2.4GHz. You need to set up a temporary channel on the router. After setup, you can 5.2- Put your phone in airplane mode by just turning on Wi-Fi and geolocation. 3- Place the device and phone CLOSE to the router/WIFI source. I'm talking about a few meters.4 - If the installation failed or timed out, try again. I can do the same thing multiple times to make it work (?) The guide that comes with it (2 channel version) shows the picture and the guide for one channel. Ouch! In any case, the middle of 3 buttons is the pairing button. Turn on the device and hold it down until the LED starts flashing rapidly. When switched on, the LED flashes twice, then once. This is NOT a pairing. There is a constant rapid blinking. Once set up, it works great at long range and in 5g. Much luck!

Pros
  • Install Wi-Fi
Cons
  • Expensive
