URC has announced a new integration bringing RATGDO devices from RatCloud into the URC Total Control platform. Built on URC’s Unified Modules framework, this integration allows homeowners and businesses to manage garage door access alongside locks, lighting, climate, and security from a single, consistent interface.
The URC and RATGDO integration is delivered as a two-way Unified Access Module, providing real-time control and feedback for supported devices, including RATGDO32 and RATGDO32 disco models. As with all Unified Modules, the interface is standardized across subsystems, ensuring that users experience the same intuitive controls whether they are unlocking doors, adjusting lights, or operating garage doors.
The URC and RATGDO module is designed as a core-only driver, meaning all system data and device communication are handled through the core. Devices are discovered automatically on the network and populated into Unified Access Control. Installers associate each device’s MAC address with a display name during setup, ensuring that multiple garage doors can be uniquely identified within the system. This makes it simple for users to differentiate between “Main Garage,” “Workshop,” or “Guest Access” doors across the Unified Access interface.
The module supports two-way commands and device events, allowing real-time monitoring of garage door states (open, closed, or in motion) and enabling advanced macro programming. For example, a “Goodnight” scene can automatically close all garage doors, lock exterior doors, and adjust lighting with a single button press.
By leveraging URC’s Unified Module framework, the RATGDO integration ensures compatibility across Total Control’s wide range of interfaces, including remotes, in-wall touch screens, tabletop controllers, and mobile apps.
