In the following troubleshooting post, Precision Garage Door of Delaware and Maryland answers your frequently asked questions about setting up LiftMaster MyQ.
How Do You Reset the MyQ Wi-Fi Hub?
To reset the MyQ Wi-Fi hub, press and hold the leftmost button on the back of the hub that has a gear symbol above it. This is known as the settings button.
There are three circular LED lights positioned in a row at the front of the Wi-Fit hub that blink or glow steady to designate the connection status. Hold the settings button until the blue LED lights up on the hub.
Once you see the blue light, you can let go of the settings button. The Wi-Fi hub is ready to be added to your home network.
What Do the Blinking LED Lights on the Wi-Fi Hub Mean?
Blue: When the blue LED light on the Wi-Fi hub blinks, it means that the Wi-Fi needs to be setup. When it changes over to being steady, it has entered Wi-Fi setup mode.
Green: When the green LED is blinking, it means that the router is talking to the Wi-Fi hub. Solid green signals that the Wi-Fi is connected.
Green and Blue: When the green and blue LEDs on the hub flash back and forth, there’s no communication with the router.
Yellow and Green: Yellow and green lights that turn on and off intermittently show that the hub is in programming mode.
How Do You Pair a Door Sensor to the MyQ Wi-Fi Hub?
To pair a door sensor to MyQ, push the button labeled with a number 1 on the back of the Wi-Fi hub for the first door. You should see the yellow LED light turn on.
Next, press and release the test button on the door sensor until the hub beeps and the light flashes on. The yellow LED light should turn off to acknowledge that pairing was successful.
Do the same with button 2 and the second door, which is located next to button 1 on the back of the hub. Pairing a door sensor can also be done in the MyQ App.
How Do You Replace the Door Sensor Battery?
Your door sensor’s battery should have enough power to operate for up to 7,000 cycles. If the MyQ App has prompted you that the door sensor battery needs to be replaced, you’ll need to purchase a new CR2450 coin cell battery to do so.
Once you have that, making the replacement is easy when you follow these steps: Press in the bottom of the sensor to remove the front casing. Then remove the existing battery and replace it with the new one.
