Understanding the Transition: Linear and Nice G.O. Integration
The esteemed Linear Brand, renowned for its high-quality garage door and gate openers, has become an integral part of the expansive Nice family of brands. If you’ve been using the Linear app to manage your entry systems, please be aware that a migration is underway. Starting from August 31, 2024, the Linear app will be officially discontinued, and users are encouraged to switch to the innovative Nice G.O. app for continued seamless operation.
What Changes Can You Expect During the Transition?
- The Nice G.O. app will serve as a comprehensive replacement for the current Linear app, offering enhanced features and improved usability.

Compatibility and Supported Devices
The new Nice G.O. app is compatible with a wide range of garage door and gate openers from well-known brands such as Nice, Mighty Mule, Entrematic, and Linear itself. This ensures that most existing devices can be managed effortlessly within the new application environment.
Integration Capabilities and Connectivity
The Nice G.O. app supports integration with popular smart home platforms including Google Home, Alarm.com, and Nice Home Management. However, please note that Amazon Alexa compatibility is no longer supported in the new app, which may affect users relying on voice control through Alexa.
Features Not Carried Over
Some functionalities from the previous app, such as geofencing, Amazon Alexa integration, places, and the ability to adjust light brightness remotely, are not supported in the new version. Users should plan accordingly when transitioning.
Included Enhancements with the Migration
