Just installed... opener, manual light and lock all work but motion sensor doesn't activate light. Any ideas appreciated.

I installed this when my motion detection stopped working. It did not help. I now believe the problem is in the master unit.

You need to able to walk within a couple of feet of the sensor. Also there is a switch on the right hand side of the control make sure it is on auto.

I don't remember what it is for, but there is a switch on the right edge of the panel labelled "auto-off". Mine is switched to "auto" and it works fine.

The sensors should have enough light for them to work. Probably the place where you plugged in you lights don't have enough light for the sensors to work.

We purchased three of these and one with motion sensing. We eventually gave up trying to make the sensing features work. We now have them on a simple switched that our electrician installed

Mine worked fine right away. Either check your batteries, or, if they are working fine, you have something wrong with your opener. Good Luck!

It could be your light switches too. I have two light switches that control this light. One at front door and the other at the garage entry door. So they have to be switched to the correct positions in order for the light to work. Not sure if you have two switches.

You have to make a scene in which the door sensor is controller of the key on the keypad link. I do all my programing via ISY994i but I'm sure that you can do that without the controller. Also you need to reverse the sensor.

Mine did that at first. Best solution I've found is at night turn out all the lights, flash the sensor with a flash light and unplug the controls power. Plug the power back in, then turn the flash light off. That pretty much reset mine and works fine now.

Remember this is dusk to dawn light.. the light will not trigger ON during the day but Its on nite time if the sensor is triggered.. Hook it up to ON and OFF switch, turn on the switch and leave it ON..

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

The instruction manual says: "To disable the motion sensor and keep the light continuously on for the night, flip the wall switch off for 3 seconds and then back on. To reset to Security mode, flip switch again off for 3 seconds and back on. If you leave the light on all night it will automatically turn off at dawn and reset to security mode." I didn't install the light with a wall switch and don't use this feature but have no doubt that it works. I have two of these lights and find them very bright. Don't stare at them or you'll see spots! Cheers, Paul.

I have mine in a basement laundry room. I would otherwise have to enter the dark area and cross the room to hit the light switch. When I open the door to the stairs going into the basement, I believe it is the light that floods in that is activating the sensor. It works for me.

Door sensors are not included. They are part of the normal garage door opening unit. You can program your old remotes to work as well. It is very simple.

Try with the switch on the light assembly in all positions, if still not working recheck the wiring connections. After that I would probably follow procedures for returning a defective unit.

I'm not sure. I'm still having intermittent problems, sometimes i'm unable to turn off the light. I'm thinking of disabling the light and installing a motion sensor light in the garage. Hope this is of some help,,,,,

You said "when you enter the area", which makes me think you have a motion sensor fixture. Try the bulb in a non-motion sensor fixture - if it doesn't flash there, the bulb is ok. My bulb does not flash when I turn it on.

All I need to do to get mine to work is to hold down the buttons and it shows the numbers in black. I haven't had a problem with the sensor at all.

The Chamberlain motion sensor control panel works well with Craftsman garage door openers. I can control the light on the opener and lock it with the panel. Chamberlain makes Craftsman openers.
