Hey all,
This may have been covered ad nauseam. But I have. Genie 2028 series III, which doesn’t use a simple dry contact closure to operate the door. So when I received my GoControl unit I began to install it, but something made me realize the place I was about to insert the GoControl’s white wire probably was hot. I tested it and it is 5v. I figured this would possibly hurt the GoControl. Then I decided to research. Should have done that first, but oh well....
I found a few methods to use as a work-a-round but I settled on running the wire to the back of the wall mounted a Genie switch. I flipped the unit’s PCB over and ohm’ed out the switch contact. I wired the GC to the backside of the switch with solder. I also decided to make it a neat job, little exposed wires.
Long story short, it all works now and I thought I would share pics and a video. I converted the single pole light switch with a switch and outlet so I could power the GC without have a lot of exposed wires.
