4. Setup

4.1. Compatibility Test

Before installation, ensure your garage door opener is compatible. Use pliers to short-circuit the wall button terminal on your opener. If the garage door opens or closes, it is compatible with this smart controller.

4.2. Physical Installation

1. Mount the Controller: Choose a location near your garage door opener and a power outlet. Secure the controller unit using the provided screws or adhesive pads.
2. Connect to Opener: Connect the controller's output wires to the wall button terminals on your garage door opener. These are typically the same terminals where your existing wall button is connected.
3. Install the Door Sensor: Mount the two parts of the magnetic door sensor on the garage door and the adjacent wall/frame. Ensure they are aligned and within 3-15mm of each other when the door is closed. The sensor with the cable should be mounted on the wall/frame, and the magnet on the moving door.
4. Connect Sensor to Controller: Plug the sensor cable into the designated sensor port on the smart controller.
5. Power On: Plug the power adapter into the controller and then into a power outlet.
