How to Set Up Wyze Garage Door Controller for Remote Control

Step 1: Check Compatibility

Before purchasing or installing, use Wyze’s Compatibility Checker to ensure your garage door opener works with the controller. It supports most openers but excludes some models like those with Round Yellow Learn Buttons or Security+ 2.0.

Step 2: Install the Controller and Camera

Mount the Wyze Cam v3 so it faces the garage door.
Attach the Wyze Garage Door Controller near your existing garage door opener.
Connect the controller wires to the wall button terminals of your garage door opener.
Place the included QR Code Sticker on your garage door where the camera can see it clearly. This sticker helps the system detect door status.

Step 3: Set Up in the Wyze App

Open the Wyze app and add the Garage Door Controller device.
Follow the in-app instructions to pair the controller with your Wyze Cam v3.
Calibrate the system by scanning the QR code and testing door open/close functions.

Step 4: Customize Settings

Adjust trigger duration if your garage door doesn’t open or close fully.
Enable notifications to get alerts when the door opens, closes, or is left open.
Set up automations to close the door automatically when you leave home or at scheduled times (note: automatic opening schedules are disabled for security reasons).

Using Wyze Garage Door Controller for Remote Access

Control via Wyze App

Once set up, you can open or close your garage door remotely from anywhere using the Wyze app on your smartphone. The app also lets you view live video from the Wyze Cam v3 to check your garage visually.

Voice Assistant Integration

Wyze Garage Door Controller works with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing you to control your garage door hands-free with voice commands.

Sharing Access

You can share access to your garage door controller with trusted family members or friends through the Wyze app. Shared users can open or close the door but cannot change security PINs or settings.

Existing Remotes Still Work

Your existing garage door remotes, wall buttons, and keypads will continue to function normally after installing the Wyze Garage Door Controller, so you don’t lose any traditional control options.

Troubleshooting and Tips for Best Performance

Wi-Fi Signal: Ensure your garage has a strong 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal for reliable connectivity.
Power Supply: Use the included 5V 2A power adapter for the controller bundle; the original Wyze Cam v3 adapter (5V 1A) is not recommended.
Wiring: Securely connect the controller wires to the correct terminals on your garage door opener.
Camera Placement: Mount the Wyze Cam v3 at least 3 feet away from the controller to avoid signal interference.
Firmware Updates: Keep your Wyze Cam v3 and Garage Door Controller firmware up to date via the Wyze app.
Reset if Needed: If the controller is unresponsive, power cycle both devices or perform a factory reset on the Wyze Cam v3.

Regularly test your garage door’s safety features and ensure no obstacles block the door sensors.

Safety Considerations

Never allow children to operate the garage door controls.
Always keep the garage door in sight when operating remotely.
The controller emits a beeping sound and flashing light as required by safety regulations; these cannot be disabled.
Use the emergency release only when the door is closed and exercise caution when using it.

Summary

The Wyze Garage Door Controller combined with the Wyze Cam v3 offers a smart, secure, and convenient way to remotely control your garage door. With easy installation, real-time notifications, and voice assistant compatibility, it’s a perfect upgrade for any smart home enthusiast.
