is a small tilt sensor that is installed on the top panel of the garage door on the inside of the garage. When it is in a
vertical position, the sensor reads as
Closed
, and when it is in a horizontal position it reads as
Open
.
The MyQ Door Sensor uses a 3 volt CR2450 Lithium battery. Battery level is measured by the MyQ Smart Garage Hub
as the number of cycles (up and down) that the sensor has transmitted since it was first learned into a MyQ Smart
Garage Hub. The MyQ Garage Door Sensor reports low battery at 7,000 cycles. It typically stops functioning due to
battery depletion after about 10,000 cycles.
The sensor communicates with the hub via Bluetooth. This gives it an operating range of about 30 feet from the hub.
Important
: The door sensor must be mounted prior to connecting the MyQ Smart Garage Hub to Alarm.com.
