REVIEW – The IoT (Internet of Things) continues to expand into all facets of our everyday world, where our refrigerators, barbecues, toothbrushes, doorbells, garage door openers, etc are now “connected” smart devices helping us keep track of every nuance of our existence. As one might expect, this trend has spread to some relatively niche products. In this case, Mighty Mule has created a series of smart gate openers to further add modern day convenience and awareness into our lives. They sent their new MM572W Smart Dual Swing Gate Opener to checkout for this review.
A bit of backstory: My family and I live pretty far out in the sticks…along an old backroad, down a very long gravel driveway, on treed acreage where you can’t see any neighbors or people. Our property has a single access point with a wrought iron fence and dual gates that adds security and limits entry into our quiet world. About 5 years ago, I installed a very low tech gate opener system as a DIY project that is getting a bit old and slow but has gotten the job done. So, when Might Mule agreed to send the MM572W I was pretty excited to not only modernize our entry gate but as a worthy DIY project for the the Gadgeteer Kid and I over his holiday break from college.
