## Como funcionan Remootio y GateOpener

Estos productos resuelven el mismo problema con tecnologia fundamentalmente diferente. Entender esta diferencia es la clave para elegir correctamente.

### Remootio 3: WiFi + Bluetooth

According to [Remootio's product specifications](https://www.remootio.com/products/remootio-3), the Remootio 3 uses WiFi for remote access and Bluetooth as a local fallback within roughly 15 meters. When you're away from home, commands travel through Remootio's cloud relay to reach the device.

### GateOpener: Cellular/GSM

GateOpener works with generic GSM relay modules like the [RTU5024](https://gate-opener.app/es/hardware/rtu5024/). When you tap "open," the app sends the correct SMS command over the mobile network. No WiFi needed. No internet needed. No cloud involved.
