Both models give you the exact same Omnira app experience — real-time status, remote open/close, activity history, and multi-user access. The difference is purely in how each one talks to your garage motor.
Garage Guardian Air is the plug-and-play option. It works by pairing directly with your existing remote for supported brands — Merlin, B&D, ATA, Gliderol, Grifco, and Steel-Line — so there's no wiring at all: plug in the hub, attach the door sensor, and you're connected. Use our
compatibility checker to confirm your exact motor or remote is supported.
Garage Guardian Link is the universal option. If your motor isn't on the Air-compatible list — including older fixed-code or "billion code" systems — Link works with virtually any garage motor by wiring directly into its starter terminal. It's a short, straightforward install (no electrician needed), and once it's connected you get the identical app experience as Air.
