Remotes Stopped Working, LED Light Bulb Problems

LED LIGHT BULB PROBLEMS?

We have been to a few service calls already on this subject, So when i saw this post i thought it might My complement our blog. 

My remote garage door opener stopped working. We have a Chamberlain HD900D Whisper Drive garage door opener. At first I thought from the master wall control that the 'lock' button had been activated which 'locks out' the remote control of the unit. I troubleshot this for about 3-days.
I stood underneath the garage door opener with the remote and it would work. I went into the driveway 30 ft away and it would not work. Aww, the CR2032 remote battery needs to be changed after 5-years of operation - done... Now, it's fixed~!
Not so fast. Next day pulling into the drive way with the garage door lights illuminated (newly installed LEDs, mind you). Nope, nothing - neither remote from either car will work. The remote key pad which is also RF will not work. It must be something else - not my LEDs? Really... a google search tells me my 315 Mhz garage remote operates in reality around 288 Mhz and I find that the LED bulb circuitry operates from 30 - 300 Mhz. (read: problem is not with the LED lights but the LED circuitry within the LED bulb)
So, off to the garage I go. LED lights on - no remote working. LED lights off - garage remote work. Standing in the drive-way 50 ft away. Lights OFF, RF garage door opener works. Lights on, RF remote will not work...
Not just the lights within the opener, powered by the garage door power unit, but also the adjacent garage lighting with LEDs also interferes with the garage door remote...~!
So, YES there is LED interference that will render your 315 Mhz RF garage door inoperable~! Be forewarned.

Chamberlain, or also known by some as Liftmaster, has done it again. They now offer garage door openers with built in Wifi.  They are part of the Elite Series openers and come in a variety of different opener options. You can get a battery backup DC motor belt drive, a 3/4HP belt drive system, or a 3/4HP chain drive system all with built in Wifi. This means you will no longer need to purchase a separate gateway to access the MyQ capability with your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

All of the units that are sold by Chamberlain or Liftmaster will be recognized by the W following the model number  (For example, 8550W, 8587W, etc). This is the easiest way to know they have the built in Wifi.

MyQ Technology now with Wifi enables secure monitoring and control of your garage door opener.

It allows you to download an App on your smartphone, tablet, or computer called MyQ. This App will notify you when the garage door opens, closes, and how long it has been opened or closed. Alerts can be received as emails or notifications on your phone, ensuring the status of your garage door. And the best thing is, the MyQ App is completely FREE with no annual activation fees. 

So why not join today's technology and upgrade to the newest garage door openers with built in Wifi? It will be peace of mind knowing your garage door is monitored 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Steel garage doors with the look of wood

Steel garage doors with the look of Wood....

Like the beauty of wood garage doors, but don't want the hassle of the staining and maintenance required for wood doors? Then look no further. We recently installed a Mahogany colored steel garage door that looks just like a real wood door. For a fraction of the price, these garage doors deliver the durability of steel and require minimal maintenance. The staining of the wood is not required since the steel already comes in the wood color of your choice. They are available in Cedar, Light Oak, Dark Oak, and Mahogany.

Here are the pictures of the beautiful Mahogany doors installed this week.

As you can see, the garage doors add an elegant curb appeal to any home. CHI Overhead Doors offers these doors in a variety of styles from carriage house doors to plank garage doors. We would be happy to help you find the right garage door for your home. Call us today at 214-612-8375 or 972-398-8839. You can also contact us at www.garagedoorsrepairsinstallations.com.
