All,
As with many of you, I have struggled with the GD00Z / Lowes Iris garage door opener. When I initially got it (13 months ago?), it took quite a feat to get it paired.
Recently, it just sort of stopped working. No beeps or sounds, and the status was continually "stopped."
So, I unpaired it, replaced the battery in the tilt sensor, unplugged the GD00Z, plugged it back in, and tried to pair. Hell on Earth this process is - standing on a ladder for 30-45 minutes at a time.
Finally, I took the Z-Net and plugged it into a battery source and took it up the ladder with me. With it only inches away, it finally paired -- after about 4-5 remove/add cycles, with much futzing and restarting the ZWave plugin and controller.
OK, so it is fussy.
Then, I was getting this Access Control Notification:
Barrier Operation Denied UL
Found a post on SmartThings which suggested this was UL code that the garage door must be manually opened and closed at least once before remotes will work. (Post is https://community.smartthings.com/t/...at-all/9758/20).
The tilt sensor works! I saw my garage door status change to "Open"! Manual closing made the status change to "Closed"!
OK, now, from my phone, I tell it to open. I get the flashing lights -- NO SOUND -- and..... nothing. Not a peep. I can do that all day and I get flashes but no beeping.
Has anyone else had this experience?
I'm thinking it was killed or died. And if it died, it is sad that it didn't last more than a year - since these things are like 90 bucks.
Thanks for any input or feedback,
