muzicman61 Posted September 19, 2019 at 08:40 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 at 08:40 PM So I programmed my garage remote into all three buttons on my Fusion visor. It's worked perfectly for years. Now suddenly, it refuses to open or close the garage door in the morning. Works perfectly from half a block away coming home. Is there a battery in there that might be getting weak? This one boggles my mind why it works fine in the afternoon but not in the morning. Temps are around 85 in the morning and 100 in the afternoon. Wouldn't think that would make much difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted September 20, 2019 at 12:53 AM Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 at 12:53 AM It's powered from the car's 12 volt battery. Have you added any electronic items in the vicinity of the garage lately? I have a Chamberlain GDO on 315 MHz that gets it's receiver de-sensed by an IP camera that has a spurious emission on 315 MHz. Maybe one whose spurious emissions are affected by temperature. muzicman61 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewellspent Posted September 20, 2019 at 03:25 PM Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 at 03:25 PM Does it happen with just the visor buttons or with the handheld opener as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzicman61 Posted September 20, 2019 at 05:42 PM Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 at 05:42 PM Just the visor. The real remote works fine. But I think Murphy hit the nail on the head. I did just recently add a Blink camera just outside the garage door. And that explains why it works when i come home because I'm far enough away the camera doesn't interfere. Thanks Murph! I believe this mystery is solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewellspent Posted September 20, 2019 at 09:36 PM Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 at 09:36 PM I don't have the visor opener, but certain times of the year in the morning I have the issue with my handheld and it is due to the sun hitting the reverse sensor blocking the beam. Since your handheld still works, than that obviously isn't your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
