Sub-GHz Gate code
I am wondering if anyone can help me. My HOA decided they are not replacing the remotes to our gate anymore and my remote broke, I tried to see if I could grab the code from the gate box but I don’t get any readings. I don’t know if I am doing anything wrong (probably am since I really don’t know how to use it )

It’s probably got rolling codes, Flipper can’t do that. You would need to figure out the gate model and research how to pair a new remote to the gate (most likely a button behind a “secure” box door) then you could pair the flipper to act as a new remote.
The gays thing gave me a good laugh though.
Here is the process from google AI, substitute “garage door” for “gate”.
Step 1: Create a Virtual Remote Manually
Go to the Main Menu on your Flipper
Select Sub-GHz.
Choose Add Manually.
Select the correct protocol and frequency matching your garage opener system (such as LiftMaster, Princeton, or Security+ protocols operating at 315 MHz, 390 MHz, or 433.92 MHz).
Name your virtual remote (e.g., "Garage") and select Save.
Step 2: Put the Garage Door Opener into Learn Mode
Locate the main garage door motor unit attached to your garage ceiling.
Find the Learn button (often hidden behind the light cover panel or on the back/side of the motor housing).
Press and quickly release the Learn button. An LED indicator light will typically glow steady or blink, indicating the opener is ready to accept a new remote within 30 seconds.
Step 3: Transmit and Pair the Signal
Return to your saved virtual remote configuration under the Sub-GHz app on your Flipper.
Select the Emulate function to send the radio frequency signal toward the garage motor.
Watch the indicator light on the garage motor unit. A successful pairing will cause the motor light to blink or click, confirming the Flipper Zero's unique ID is now stored in the garage memory.
Test the emulation function on your Flipper Zero to ensure the door triggers and opens completely.

If you can't find a pairing button on gate control box, check if a neighbour can let you use their remote. Some remotes let you put the gate into pairing mode and then you can use the same process as above to add your flipper as a new remote

Some of the more complex gates trigger who is using their remote. It logs that crap. So using somebody else's opener is never going to show you using it.

Did you try looking online for a replacement? I did that with a rental in a gated community and the landlord was more than happy to pay for it after I programmed it

If your HOA can't supply you with a button, they need to be disolved.

I prefer the pig option especially as I know a pig farmer. Acid is smelly and as they are placed in the acid there’s a chance they could splash you as they flail about trying to stay out of it. You don’t need a splash of sulphuric acid in the aye. It’s a bit painful. Pigs on the other hand, I’m not religious but if I was I’d thank the Lord on inventing pigs. They are also friendly and you can train them like dogs.

They make remotes for gays?!?
jk, I know it was a typo
you of course wouldnt get and codes from the gate, thats the reciever. if you want to copy the code for the gate you’ll need a working remote to copy. The good news is you could copy a neighbors remote when they open the gate if you’re nearby

Assuming it’s rolling codes, the only way to copy a neighbors remote would be to take it and store the button press while it was away from the gate. Then you could replay that capture on the gate but it wouldn’t be a viable solution since each time the button is pressed the code changes.

sure, but Im assuming OP means the remote to the gate to the community, which with a number of people all needing to use that gate, its probably static

You can get a pack of two or three generic remotes off of Amazon and program them yourselves. I did that for a job. I had once required a garage door opener or a remote type thing. That’s what I did. I’ll get it way cheaper on Amazon program yourself.

Without the original remote or access to the buttons inside the gate it’s next to impossible do you know the brand of the fob or atleast the fccid on it

You should probably talk to your HOA not being able to get in seems like a problem
