ET NICE PERIPHERALS
E.T Nice Home Automation Systems:
When it comes to securing your home or business, your driveway gate is the first line of defense. At WeDoCoolStuff.co.za, we understand that South African conditions demand more than just a motor; they demand a power-resilient, high-speed security solution. That is why we proudly stock and recommend E.T Nice gate and garage automation.
Formerly known as ET Systems, E.T Nice has spent over 25 years engineering products specifically for the South African market. By blending local “grit” with the global technology of the Italian Nice Group, they have created an ecosystem that is fast, smart, and virtually unhackable.
The E.T Nice Power Advantage: Built for Load Shedding
In 2026, the biggest threat to gate security isn’t just intruders, it’s the power grid. E.T Nice motors are legendary for their “True DC” technology. Unlike many competitors that rely solely on the battery to move the gate, E.T Nice systems utilize the mains power directly when it’s available, saving your battery for when you truly need it.
When load shedding hits, the E.T Nice intelligent controller switches seamlessly to battery backup. These motors are highly efficient, meaning even a standard lead-acid battery provides dozens of cycles. For those looking for the ultimate “load shedding proof” setup, our E.T Nice range is fully compatible with high-performance Lithium (LiFePO4) upgrades, ensuring lightning-fast charging between power stages.
Uncompromised Security with ET-Blu Mix®
A gate motor is only as secure as its remote. Traditional fixed-code remotes are vulnerable to signal “grabbing” and cloning. E.T Nice solves this with the proprietary ET-Blu Mix® rolling code technology.
Every time you press your E.T Nice remote, it transmits a unique, encrypted code from billions of possible combinations. This makes it virtually impossible for criminals to duplicate your signal. At WeDoCoolStuff.co.za, we stock the full range of Blue Mix transmitters, from the compact 2-button units to 4-button remotes that can manage your gate, garage, and even your outdoor lights from a single device.
High-Speed Performance: Drive 500 & Drive 600
Driveway hijackings are a reality, and speed is your best deterrent, The E.T Nice Drive series including the popular Drive 500 and the heavy-duty Drive 600, are among the fastest in their class. By clearing the driveway in seconds, these motors minimize the window of vulnerability when you arrive home at night.
Intelligent Obstacle Detection: Safety is never sacrificed for speed. The advanced electronics in an E.T Nice motor constantly monitor the gate’s movement. If a child, pet, or vehicle is detected, the motor stops and reverses instantly.
Tamper Alarms: Modern E.T Nice units feature gate-tamper monitoring. If someone tries to force the gate open or tamper with the safety beams, the system can trigger an external siren or a notification to your security provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my E.T Nice gate motor beeping?
The buzzer on your E.T Nice motor is a built-in diagnostic tool. Most commonly:
2 Beeps: Indicates a “Mains Fail.” The motor is running on battery because the 220V supply is off (common during load shedding).
3 Beeps: “Battery Low.” The battery voltage has dropped below the operational threshold.
4 Beeps: “Multiple Collisions.” The gate has hit an obstruction or the track is blocked more than four times in a row.
How do I program a new E.T Nice Blue Mix remote?
For most modern units like the E.T Drive 500/600:
Enter the Programming Menu by holding the “Up” button until the buzzer beeps.
Navigate to “Receiver Setup” and select “Learn Remote”.
Press and hold the button on your new remote. The display will show the user address (e.g., 001).
Release the remote button, and the buzzer will confirm the successful pairing
Can I use a Lithium battery in my E.T Nice motor?
- Yes. E.T Nice motors are compatible with 12V Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries. In fact, upgrading to Lithium is highly recommended for the E.T Nice range because these motors rely heavily on the battery to provide the current needed for high-speed operation. Lithium recharges faster and lasts through more load shedding cycles than standard lead-acid.
My gate moves slowly and then stops, what’s wrong?
This is typically a sign of a dying battery or mechanical resistance. If the battery is old, the voltage “sags” under the weight of the gate, causing the motor to crawl or reset. Alternatively, check your gate track for debris or check if the gate wheels are seized; E.T Nice motors are sensitive to drag to prevent motor burnout.
How do I put my gate into manual mode if the power is out?
Every E.T Nice slider comes with a manual release key.
Insert the key into the lock on the motor cover.
Turn it to unlock and pull the lever toward you (usually 90 degrees).
This disengages the gearbox, allowing you to slide the gate by hand. Remember to lock it back into “Auto” mode to re-secure your home.
