  1. Okay, folks! I soldered in two leads to the wireless button, and then connected those to NO and Comm, and everything appears to be working as it should! I had mentioned before that all scenes and KPL LEDs respond correctly, and that continues to be the case. Now, it's my understanding that any change to the relay, on or off, will simply make the garage door move like the button would, up or down depending on its previous command. I have two KPL buttons that read "Garage Open" and "Garage Closed", and they each light up based on the sensor status, but could I also set it so that each key specifically sends an UP or DOWN command? I suppose I would need to use a program and have it consider the current status of the sensor, correct? I currently have the Relay set to Momentary A, but I suspect that this is where that may play a larger role? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, but again, I'm incredibly grateful of the excellent support this forum has already provided! Thanks!!
  2. Brilliant! I see the two that I need to connect to, but will test them with a meter to be sure. All other items are a go, so I think I should have what I need! Of course, I will report back with my results, but I really do appreciate you folks' time! Thanks!
  3. Okay, I think we're on the right track. I removed the IOLinc from the the opener and connected everything the way it should be, on the opener side, and it continues to work. I shorted the wires from the wall opener, and the door doesn't respond, so that sounds like a good thing, in that I do just need to wire into the wireless button. And for what it's worth, I had looked up the error code displayed by the main opener, and it's as follows: "The wires for the door control are shorted or the door control is faulty. Inspect safety sensor wire at all staple points and connection points and replace wire or correct as needed." I wired the door control the way it should be and it works, so I think I can rule that out. Now, I was afraid that I may have stapled some a bit too tight with the safety sensors specifically, so should I check those first? The door still operates just fine if you press the up and down buttons at the opener itself, and the sensors work as they should if you step in front of them, so I had just ruled that out up until now, but should I be double checking those as well? As for soldering the wireless button itself, I've opened the remote and of the three buttons present, not sure where I'm connecting the wires!
  4. Great! It sounds like I need to open one of the wireless garage door openers and wire the IOLinc directly to it, and only it, correct? Everything else will be wired just as the garage door opener came? So, the IOLinc wont physically touch the opener at all, yes? Brian: Yes, this is a MyQ opener that can be paired with an internet bridge, and yes, the button on the wall has both a motion sensor and the ability to control the light, but not much else that's fancy about it. I will have to look up the manual myself to see if there is an error code in that flashing, I hadn't even thought of that. It flashes once up, and then three times down, and then repeats. I will get back to work! Thanks again, y'all!
  5. Alright, I moved the NC wire over to NO, and I still get the same behavior when clicking the set button on the IO Linc itself. However, the wall button that came with the opener no longer works. It's one button, red and white wires only. I had also set the ISY option to Momentary B. Turning the scene on from any other source (ISY, KPL, Mobilinc) just doesn't appear to do anything. Any other ides or suggestions?
  6. Thanks! I will try both of these. I had only kept the NC and Comm terminals the way they were in the box, and hadn't thought to change them, but I will now and report back....
  7. Hello all! This might be my first time posting, but I've been a long time lurker! Anyway, I've recently installed a new Chamberlan WD832KEV garage door opener, and the IOLInc Garage Door Kit to go with it. This is using the small gray magnetic contact sensor from the current kits. The install process went smoothly as far as I can tell, but I have yet to be able to actually make the door open or close from any source. I understand that there are quite a few existing threads about this same topic, and I've ready through many, but so many of the settings seem different, and even when I find one nearly identical to mine, still no dice. I don't think I fully understand how this is supposed to be set up, or if I'm just missing some sort of conflict in the programming. So, here's how I have it..... Scene: GarageDoorOpen_Relay ---Relay as responder (set to %100) ---KPL button as controller Scene: GarareDoorButton ---Sensor as controller ---KPL button as responder The sensor works perfectly fine, as do the KPL buttons as far as reporting the status of the door. I currently have the trigger reversed so that is reports ON when sensor is open, and OFF when closed (did this so it matches HiddenDoorSensor which behaves the same way). The green LED on the IOLinc changes as the sensor state changes as well. It's set to "Momentary A" at the moment, as this is what seems to work for most, but this is also the part that I understand the least. Everything else is set to a default. Oh, and the IOLinc is wired to the garage door using the N/C and Comm terminals. And, I wasn't sure if it mattered how those were wired to the opener, but it doesn't seem to matter either way, correct? Now, the issue is that no matter how I go about it, I cannot get the IOLinc to open or close the door. If I tap the set button on the IOLiinc, there's a clicking sound, and it's clear that SOME signal made it to the garage door opener because the up button on the opener itself flashes, pauses, and then the down arrow begins to flash. It's as if something always stops the door and immediately commands it to then close the door. The garage door itself works fine otherwise, and all openers that came with it work as they should. This is where I'm stuck. I've factory reset the IOLinc after completely removing it from the ISY, and then added again and set it all up, but still the same thing persists. Any ideas what I could be missing? Or, do I need to switch some wires around? Anything!? Thanks in advance, y'all! Michael
