By doing so, if your door activates, then your door opener is compatible with the device. If the door does not activate, then the opener is not compatible by default.

INSTALLATION

Note: Please power off your garage door opener before installing the device.

1) Connect the cables of the controller to your garage door opener terminals, which should be connected to the wall button. If you have installed a wall button, please twist them together.

Connect the wire of the controller to your garage door opener terminal which should be connected to the wall button.

Install the door sensor

Stick the sensor on the top flap of your garage door, please make sure that the direction of the sensor is correct.

Note: Power on the device and check the controller’s Wi-Fi indicator light after you have installed the door sensor. It should be solid green. If it flashes in blue, please try to control the door, the controller will link the sensor automatically.

How to link the door sensor to the controller if the door indicator is not correct

Please set based on the controller’s indicator:

If it is solid green, press and hold the reset button of the controller for 10 seconds until it flashes blue, then go to the next step.
If it flashes blue, make sure that you have installed the sensor on the door correctly.
