Although not a gate guru…..
….as a volunteer in an over 55 “gated for traffic control only” community in Langhorne PA, I controlled, ordered and issued the same cards we use here now for a similar system. There was a finite quantity of sequentially numbered cards that can be controlled in that system. After I left my role the HOA management purchased another (RFID reader) system that allowed access thru a decal stuck on the windshield. Easy peasy and much more flexible to different needs of access. Approved vendors had their own access to specific gates, etc. Good system and if the powers to be want a reference I could probably put them in contact with the HOA for a review
I have no dog in this argument but for the sake of clarity: I have one of those side mirror openers (nothing more than the metal strip from inside an old delaminated white card.(??)). I love it and glad I bought it. I’ll be out $40 but will have the same convenience. So from my perspective…..no harm no foul. Looking forward to the change
