Specifications

Compatibility Test

Before installation, it is crucial to test if your existing garage door opener is compatible with the ONENUO CKM01 controller. This device works by simulating a button press on your wall console.

1. Locate the wall button terminals on your garage door opener. These are typically where the wires from your physical wall button connect.
2. Using a straightened-out paper clip or a pair of pliers, momentarily short-circuit the two terminals where the wall button wires are connected.
3. If your garage door opens or closes when you short-circuit these terminals, then your opener is compatible with the smart controller.

If this test fails, your device may not be compatible. Please consult your garage door opener's manual or contact support for further assistance.

Installation

Follow these steps to install your ONENUO CKM01 Smart Garage Door Controller:

1. 1st Step: Power Up

   Connect the power adapter to the smart garage controller unit and plug it into a power outlet. The device will power on.

2. 2nd Step: Connect to the Wall Console

   Insert the red and black wires (2.0mm terminals) from the smart controller into the same terminals on your garage door opener where the existing wall button wires are terminated. This connects the smart controller in parallel with your physical wall button.

3. 3rd Step: Install the Garage Door Sensor

   Insert the 2.0mm terminal of the sensor cable into the smart garage controller. Find a suitable position on your garage door to mount the sensor and its magnet. Ensure the distance between the two sensor parts is between 3mm and 15mm when the garage door is closed. When the door opens, the two parts should separate. Use the provided screws, brackets, or 3M adhesive tapes for secure fixation.

Troubleshooting

• Device not connecting to WiFi: Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. The device does not support 5GHz. Check if your router has MAC filtering enabled and disable it during setup. Ensure a strong WiFi signal near the garage opener.

• Garage door not responding after wiring: Re-check the compatibility test. Ensure the red and black wires are correctly connected to the wall button terminals on your garage opener. Verify that the device is powered on and the blue LED is indicating the correct status (flashing for pairing, solid for connected).

• Sensor not detecting door status: Ensure the sensor and magnet are installed correctly with a gap of 3-15mm when the door is closed. Check for any obstructions or misalignment.

• Voice control not working: Make sure your Alexa or Google Home account is correctly linked to your Tuya Smart/Smart Life account. For Google Home, remember that a password might be required for opening the garage door, which can be set in the app's Smart Voice settings.

• Lost connection after changing modem/router: If you change your WiFi network or router, you will likely need to reset the device and re-pair it with the app under the new network settings. Typically, resetting involves holding the ON/OFF button for several seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly.

• Device not compatible with HomeKit: This device is not directly compatible with Apple HomeKit. However, you can often add "Tap-to-Run" scenes created in the Smart Life app to Siri Shortcuts for limited voice control via Siri.

User Tips

• Set Open Time Alarms: Utilize the app's feature to set an alarm if your garage door remains open for too long. This is a great security measure.
• Check Compatibility First: Always perform the paper clip/pliers compatibility test before proceeding with full installation to save time and effort.
• No Hub Needed: This device connects directly to your home's 2.4GHz WiFi, eliminating the need for an additional hub.
• Multiple Phone Access: Share device control with family members through the "Share Device" function in the app, allowing everyone to manage the garage door from their own phones.
• History Log: Regularly check the app's history log to monitor when the garage door was opened or closed, providing an audit trail for peace of mind.
