# Nimbio

> Nimbio is a cellular smart access control platform: it turns any electronic gate, door, or lock a property already owns into app-based smart entry — no Wi-Fi, hardwired phone line, or on-site network required, since the controller runs on a pre-installed multi-carrier LTE SIM (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile). Serves residential communities, commercial properties, and the integrators/technicians who install for them.

Pricing: flat-rate, per-home billing for residential communities (unlimited family keys and guest access at no extra cost); flexible, active-user-based pricing for commercial properties.

Key facts about Nimbio:

- The platform processes 620,000+ gate opens every month — over 7 million a year — for 85,000+ users.
- Hardware is a one-time $299 per controller, covered by a lifetime hardware warranty: if a controller ever stops working for any reason, Nimbio provides a prompt replacement.
- The controller wires in parallel to the gate operator, call box, or lock a property already owns — existing clickers, fobs, and keypads keep working — and is compatible with nearly any gate system (LiftMaster, FAAC, Linear, Nice Apollo, Ghost Controls, Elite, and others via the dry-contact relay input).
- Connectivity is a pre-installed multi-carrier LTE SIM (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile); the SIM also works internationally — international customers should contact Nimbio to confirm regional network support. No Wi-Fi, no landline, no on-site network.
- Device certifications: RoHS, REACH, CE (RED), JATE, Telec, FCC, RCM, GCF, PTCRB, IC.
- Native Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for in-car gate opening; the Nimbio Car Web App (car.nimbio.com) opens gates from any car with a built-in web browser, with the same phone-number sign-in as the app.
- Official open-source Home Assistant integration (installable via HACS; github.com/nimbio-labs/nimbio-home-assistant).
- Public REST API plus Python and npm SDKs; API access is included with active Nimbio service at no separate charge (rate-limited, not billed per call).
- GuestView adds visitor video verification with no touchscreen intercom at the gate: visitors scan a QR plaque or tap an NFC panel and the resident answers on their own phone — no app install for the visitor.
