Will safety reversing sensor be honored If the garage door is closing due to signal form MagicCloser?

That is a function of the door motor control and YES it still functions as designed. Think of the magic closer as a simple "push button" remote to tell the door to close.

When the MagicCloser starts to close, the safety reversing sensor will trigger if something causes it and the door will open. I have mine set for 5 mins and when the reversing sensor caused the door to open again, it tried closed after another 5 mins. Another safety feature is the MagicCloser does beep multiple times before it closes. I purchased about 2 months ago and so far I like the devise.

I agree. The MagicCloser initiates the door closing, however, that's where MagicCloser stops and your sensor takes over.

no. It only sends a zwave radio signal that tells a controller the door is open or the door is closed. (ok, it also sends a battery charge condition too), but you can't turn it off, or disarm the sensor itself. Any arming or disarmming would be with the zwave controller

Yes. This is what I'll be doing as well, bypassing the sensor. One of my many projects for this weekend. Lol

If your garage door has a sensor beam near the bottom of the door, or a torque sensor that stops the door (if the load on the motor is more than the setting), both would stop or reverse the door. Before you blame the remote, check and make certain that the photo-eye censor is always seeing the light beam. Usually, there's and indicating light (sometimes green, but could be white or amber). Try adjusting this. By placing you hand over either end (sender or receiver) when the door begins to operate, your door should either stop or reverse.Mine has come out of adjustment and caused my door to go up.

It would stop as soon as you close the door it sounds off when it doesn't detect the sensor.

The sensor reacts to metal so anything metal close by will trigger it. If you can put the sensor about 50 feet or so away from the gate you should be ok. I tested mine a few times so it wouldn't picked up street traffic before I installed it. Still loving it.

Yes it does. Be sure to mark each sensor in the booklet so you will know which sensor went off. The monitoring company can tell you which station also. They will call you if a battery becomes disconnected and tell you which sensor to check, this happened to me. Also, don't install a motion sensor between the entry door and the keypad unless you plan on using the keyfob soon as you enter, this happened to me.

There is an internal sensor that detects the opening & closing. Works pretty slick

It manually triggers the sensor. Makes it easier to configure and test the sensor without opening and closing the door.

It is possible. Try moving the magnet around all sides of the door sensor and see if you can get it to show as closed. You may also want to delete and then add the sensor back to the panel.

You have to have a sensor and know how it works with power and ground, but it will sense a door opening too.

Maybe this reading might help a little, http://www.garagerepairutah.com/garage-door-opener-open-close-problems/ Door openers know their state, and it's not based on the eye sensors or anything like that. When you click the button on your remote, the entire assembly knows if it needs to open, or to close, or if it is in the middle of one of the operations. I can assure you from hundreds of customers using this specific button that is internet connected, their phones know quite positively the status of the door. It updates and even shows confirmation once it is in that other state. If you're on the fence about getting it because you just don't understand how it works, go ahead and get it and let it surprise you!

I would be careful about overloading the sensor. Also, don't run this test in a closed garage, for your own health.

This is hard to tell, as I guess it depends on how your lock is made. Mine has a plastic back cover with a metal finish paint, which doesn't seem to alter the signal.

The door sensor is built into the garage door opener. It uses the limit adjustments to see if the door is open or closed.

I have not seen a sensor with that wiring configuration on the list of "modern" Genie compatible equipment. If you have a relatively modern genie opener then these Genie 35048R sensors WILL work. You should probably run new wire from the opener to the new sensors, given your different configuration.

If something is blocking the garage door sensor, the door will go back up. The Garage Butler will go through they cycle and attempt to close again after the set delay has elapsed. The garage door sensor and the Garage Butler sensor are two different sensors. I had this in my garage for several years and never experienced an interrupt because of blowing leaves, but I guess anything is possible.
