D5 Smart vs D5 Evo vs ET Drive 500 Comparison
I compare them from a maintenance cost and availability – Quality is determined over time and a bag full prerequisites must be met.
So I will not be doing a quality comparison – To me all the products are made the same way and put together with the same components from the same manufacturer somewhere in china. Your installer’s experience will determine the longevity of your chosen gate motor.
This comparison is value for money, availability, support and functionality. Why pay for stuff you will never use right?

My notes
D5 Smart – The mobile app connects via Bluetooth and it’s core functionality is to do initial setup and diagnose problems.
