4. Compatibility Check

Before permanent installation, it is crucial to verify compatibility with your existing garage door opener. This device is generally compatible with garage door openers that are controlled by a push button (impulse control).

1. Locate the push button terminals on your garage door opener. These are typically where the wires from your wall-mounted push button connect.
2. Carefully connect the red and black wires from the idinio control unit to these push button terminals. Ensure the power to the opener is off during this connection.
3. Temporarily restore power to the garage door opener.
4. Briefly touch the red and black wires together (or use a temporary switch) to simulate a button press. If the garage door opener activates (opens or closes), the idinio control unit is compatible.
5. Disconnect power again before proceeding with permanent installation.

5. Setup & Installation

5.1 Physical Installation

1. Mount the Control Unit: Choose a suitable location near your garage door opener, ensuring it's within reach of a power outlet and the opener's terminals. Use the provided mounting brackets, screws, or adhesive pads to secure the idinio control unit.
2. Connect to Opener: Connect the red and black wires from the idinio control unit to the push button terminals of your garage door opener.
3. Install the Sensor: The magnetic sensor consists of two parts. Mount one part securely to the garage door itself and the other part to the door frame, ensuring they align and are within 1-3 cm of each other when the door is closed. This sensor detects the door's open/closed status.
