myQ Smart Garage Control Door Sensor Quick Start Guide
This guide provides instructions for setting up and using the myQ Smart Garage Control Door Sensor.
Compatibility
This Door Sensor is compatible with the following myQ devices:
- Smart Garage® Control: All versions of MYQ-G0401, 821LMC
- myQ® Smart Garage® Hub: All versions of MYQ-G0301, 821LMB
- myQ Garage®: All versions of MYQ-G0201, 821LM
Your Hub has the capacity to program two Door Sensors. This sensor can be added to a second garage door opener or replace an existing inoperable door sensor.
Adding a New Door Sensor to a Second Garage Door Opener
To add a new door sensor to a second garage door opener, please refer to the myQ app for detailed instructions.
Replacing an Existing Door Sensor
Follow these steps to replace an existing door sensor:
If the current Door Sensor is still operating and connected to a Garage Door Opener, press the test button on the existing Door Sensor. The Hub will beep once if the current Door Sensor is assigned to Door 1, or twice if assigned to Door 2.
If the current Door Sensor does not work and you have two Door Sensors connected to the Hub, press the test button on the other Door Sensor. The Hub will beep once if that sensor is assigned to Door 1, or twice if assigned to Door 2. You will need to select the corresponding button (Door 1 or Door 2) on the Hub for your new Door Sensor.
Remove the pull tab from the new Door Sensor to activate the battery.
On the Hub, press the button for Door 1 or Door 2, based on the information gathered in steps 1 and 2. A solid amber LED light will appear on the Hub.
On the new Door Sensor, press and release the test button. The Hub will flash and beep, indicating successful programming.
Mount the Door Sensor. Refer to the "Mount Door Sensor" section for instructions.
In the myQ app, verify that you can open and close your garage door to confirm successful programming.
Testing the Door Sensor Battery
Test your Door Sensor every 6 months or if the myQ system is not working as expected.
Press and release the test button on the Door Sensor. The LED on the Door Sensor should blink, and the Hub should beep. Wait 5 seconds, then repeat this test 5 more times (waiting 5 seconds between each test). If the LED does not blink or the Hub does not beep with each press, replace the battery in the Door Sensor.
Replacement Part: K010A0056 Door Sensor 3V Battery, CR2450.
