Before installation, it is crucial to verify that your existing garage door opener is compatible with the LoraTap Smart Controller. The controller works by simulating a button press on your garage door opener's wall button terminal.

Compatibility Test:

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 pair of pliers or a short piece of wire, momentarily short-circuit (touch together) the two wall button terminals.
3. If your garage door opens or closes when the terminals are short-circuited, then your opener is compatible with the LoraTap Smart Controller.

The brand of your garage door engine is generally not important, as this smart device connects in parallel with the existing wall push button.
