Installing the myQ® Garage Door Opener involves three steps: activating the Wi-Fi hub, installing the door sensor and installing the hub. Start by programming the ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi hub by following these steps:

• Step 1: Verify you have a Wi-Fi router, broadband access and a compatible opener
• Step 2: Plug in your Wi-Fi hub (the blue LED will blink)
• Step 3: Press and release Button 1 on the hub (the yellow LED will turn on)
• Step 4: Press and release the test button on the door sensor (hub will beep and light will blink)
• Step 5: Yellow light on hub will turn off
• Step 6: With blue LED blinking, press and release the Settings button (blue LED will stay on)
• Step 7: Press and hold Settings button until green and yellow LEDs alternate blinking
• Step 8: Press and release Settings button again (yellow LED will turn on)
• Step 9: Consult chart to determine how many presses are required for your model of opener
• Step 10: Press Button 1 the corresponding number of times
• Step 11: Press and release Settings button (green and yellow LEDs will alternate blinking)
• Step 12: Press and release Learn button on the opener
• Step 13: Press and release Button 1 on the Wi-Fi hub until the opener responds
• Step 14: Press and release Button 1 to activate the opener
• Step 15: Exit programming by pressing and holding the Settings button (blue LED will blink)

Next, install your door sensor:

• Step 1: Locate the word ‘Top’ on your door sensor
• Step 2: Mount the sensor using the screws or mounting strips provided
• Step 3: Clean the surface before installation with a wet cloth
• Step 4: Either apply fastening strips or use screws to firmly install your sensor to the top panel of your garage door (screwing may include pre-drilling in wood doors)

Finally, install your Wi-Fi hub:

• Ensure a power outlet is close to where you plan to install your hub
• Ensure that the Wi-Fi lights will be visible with the garage door open
• Use drywall anchors to safely secure your hub so that it doesn’t fall
• Plug in your hub and verify that the blue LED is blinking
• Secure the power cord by carefully wrapping it around the hub so it doesn’t dangle

As you can see, anyone can install myQ® and link it to their LiftMaster garage door opener. Save time and energy and ensure a safe and reliable connection for your remote controls and keyless entry pads with a reliable Wi-Fi signal.

However, if you’re more comfortable having a professional install your myQ® system or are planning on having a new garage door and opener installed at the same time, our team here at Banko Overhead Doors is ready to help.
