Ghost Controls Multi Connect Kit for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Access

Our review of the Ghost Controls Multi Connect Kit finds it best for homeowners and installers who already own a Ghost Controls opener with a red control board and want simple phone-based access. The kit transforms a compatible system into a remotely controllable gate using the free Ghost Controls app, with both Wi-Fi for full remote features and Bluetooth for reliable local control. Installation is straightforward for someone comfortable with basic wiring and the app setup, and customers report the kit delivers consistent remote control and useful information display once connected.

Key Features

• Dual Connectivity: Wi-Fi provides full remote access, notifications, diagnostics, and scheduling automations when connected to an internet gateway.
• Bluetooth Backup: Bluetooth lets users operate the gate locally even without Wi-Fi, useful for spot control and when internet is unavailable.
• App Integration: The free Ghost Controls app on Apple and Google stores supplies virtual status display and remote toggles for convenient gate management.
• Red Board Compatibility: Designed specifically for systems with a red control board, avoiding unnecessary replacement for already-compatible units.
• Simple Installation: Customers note an easy install process, allowing DIY-savvy homeowners or pros to add remote access without complex steps.
• Diagnostic Feedback: Remote diagnostics and information display help users monitor gate status and troubleshoot issues from the app.

Who It's For

This kit suits homeowners, property managers, and installers who own a Ghost Controls opener with a red control board and want to add remote access and automation without replacing the opener. It is ideal when users need notifications, scheduling, and a clear virtual status of gate position via a smartphone.

Those with a green control board should look at the MultiConnect Upgrade Bundle instead, which includes a red control board, solar capabilites and the additional hardware needed for solar charging. If a full turnkey solar setup or different brand compatibility is required, this kit alone will not suffice.
