Confirm yourself as a master key holder for your community gate by clicking the “+” to right of your name and selecting “ACCEPT”

Open the gate with your phone

You will now be able to open the gate with your phone. To do so, open your app and click the “Open” button as shown below.

Message your residents

Now that you have Nimbio set up, you can let your residents know via email or text message. Please use one of the templates below depending on your preferred channel of communication with your residents. Make sure to personalize the message by replacing all the text in [BRACKETS] in these templates.

Email Template

We have added a new and convenient way for residents to control our community gate. Once you have downloaded the Nimbio app and set up your verified account, you will be able to open the gate with your smartphone from anywhere at anytime. This means that your guests will no longer need to use the callbox. They can just text you that they are at the gate and you can buzz them in, even if you aren’t home.

All the current gate features still work, but the more we all use Nimbio, the more secure our community will become. In the coming months, Nimbio will be adding some exciting ways to manage one-time and repeat guests. You will see those features appear in the app as soon as they are available.

You can search for the Nimbio app in the iOS App Store or the Google Play Store to get started. You must use your real name and select [INPUT YOUR COMMUNITY GATE NAME HERE] when creating your account so we can verify you with Nimbio as a real resident before they issue you a master key to our community.

If you have any issues creating your account, go to our resident startup guide for more detailed instructions.

Text/SMS Template

Control our gate with your phone! Download the Nimbio app and select [INPUT YOUR COMMUNITY GATE NAME HERE]. See https://nimbio.app/k/P8GD for details.

Verify your residents

Verify Your Residents

Anytime a resident creates a new account, they will appear on your community manager page in the “Pending” list.

Click the “+” symbol to the right of a pending account to verify that account as a community master key holder.

It’s that easy! Just check your resident list on a regular basis, and you will be well on your way to creating a safer and more convenient community gate experience for all of your residents.
