Anyone else having problems with the transmitter for the garage door ? Mine senses the door open even when it is closed. I finally disconnected it.

Our first one did that, so I asked them to replace it. The new one worked great.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

Mine worked very intermittently. The transmitter was not received by the receiver. I contacted manufacturer and they said it must be metal near the transmitter. I removed the transmitter from the garage door, placed it next to the receiver and it didn't even work then. I moved the plunger and changed the battery. Still didn't work.

Follow the start up sequence in the instructions for installing the battery and plugging the device into the wall and when you push the little lever up. It will get itself out of sync if not done in the correct order.

Yes! I contacted Skylinkhome. They suggested that. 1. Transmitter too close to receiver.& or transmitter plunger not quite in off position. Unplug for 30 seconds. Reset. Lower antenna make receiver seem further. Move receiver.

Have you tried a different channel on the transmitter and then matched it on the Screen? Be sure to find the right channel on the reciever, sometimes it will find a signal on a channel before, but it wont go super clear until the next channel up. What transmitter are you using? And, as always, there is a 100% money-back guarantee and we will refund or replace any defective unit at no charge. -CheapDrones

Not looking at your specific installation, I'd imagine either the sender and receiver are placed too far apart or there may be some interference in the signal from the sender to receiver. I would try moving the receiver to another location or at lease get it closer to the sender. I'd make sure you have good batteries in the sender (door contact part). Otherwise, there may be a problem with how the sender is installed on the door and door frame itself. If the kids are coming in and out and not completely closing the door...the sender may not engage...therefore it won't trip when the door is opened again. Mine didn't have the correct distance at first installation and I had to put a homemade spacer to get the magnet to the correct distance from the sender. Otherwise, I've been very happy with my chime.

I've noticed it times out if not used. I ran power from my radio accessory feed so it doesn't stay on all the time. Some times I will have to turn the key off and then back on so it resets and connects.

I could not get me extra transmitter to work, i would plug in down on my dock, so the dog could go further out in the water, it did not work. I have my lone transmitter in the front of the house (lake side) so she can roam that more so than the back (street side) i love the transmitter, i just didnt get the 2nd one to do what i wanted.

Mine worked fine when I purchased it. The only problem I have had since it the battery going dead in the antenna, which I replaced and is working fine again. Make sure that the switches are in the correct positions. That is about all I can tell you, other than contacting the manufacture and see it they can be of some help.

I had something similar happen and I just removed battery, turned off transmitter and then plugged bat. back in and turned on transmitter and it worked fine. Other than that I don't know.

The transmitter seems to be very tricky. Actually I have more problems inside the garage than outside, to the point that the transmitter will only work when I open the car door - if you can believe that.

It's very likely the opener. You may want to check the reflector/safety mechanism if there is one, and make sure it's aligned properly. To make sure it's not the remote you could try removing the batteries and not using it for some time, instead using (assuming you have one) they key pad.

I had the same issue with mine. Had a friend use Chirp to get it to program, but after a while it would no longer connect to that and the radio completely bricked itself. I returned mine.

Two answers from my husband: 1) move the transmitter from it's current location (right now he has it on the floor under the TV) or 2) the batteries are low.

I had the same issue. Mine works fine. Based on what I have read, the "M" is just a revision. Make sure power is cut to the opener before you start work on it. Also remember you will need to re-program the unit to open with yuor garage door opener.

I know this post is super old, but I am sending mines back tomorrow. I heard something rambling around when I got ready to use it for the first time. I didn't think anything of it. Although, it was a little hard to connect. THAT SHOULD'VE TOLD ME SOMETHING WAS WRONG RIGHT THERE. Then, recently, I picked it up and it fell apart. I found all the pieces, and put it back together. I was still having trouble connecting. Then, it dawned on me that the spring was missing upon arrival. I thought I could live with the faulty transmitter...but I can't. Hopefully, they send me a better one.

I never had that problem. Is the unit in the mail box set up right? It should beep when the door is open. the arrow should point up. there is also a reset button on the house unit. Sorry that all I can tell you.

I couldn't get mine to work either. I finally held down the smart button on the garage door opener ( orange for me ) to reset all the codes. Holding it for about 15 seconds clears the opener. I then tried again and got the remote to work on one of the buttons. Of course then I had to reprogram the cars and my other remote but they all took in one try taking only about 10 seconds each. Good luck, just keep trying!

Sounds like a defective transmitter. Mine doesn't do this and I've had it for over a year. I'd request a replacement.

If all 3 of these are true, I would consider changing the receiver logic board:(1) The hardwired button in the garage operates the door opener correctly.(2) Neither the remote in the car, nor the remote on the outside of the garage work.(3) The remote in the car has been re-programmed (again) to match the opener - but it still doesn't work.I think the receiver board is sometimes damaged by nearby lightning strikes.Actually, I purchased a new remote for the car first and tried that. However, when that didn't work, I bought the receiver board.... I read this entire review and it's right on the money, you need a new logic board which is easy to install with the intructions you receive with it.
