MyQ on my iphone opens the door but when trying to close it it beep the light flashes 5x continues to beep for 20 sec and nothing else happens. Just in case I have installed the photo cel they're working properly.

Hi Dawn,ht
When you say the "flashing light is visible to the door" what exactly does that mean? The garage door/unit can sense the flash? Where exactly is the light sensor? I ask this because if my garage lights are on, my door will not close (it flashes and beeps, but doesn't close). When I shut off my garage lights, the unit blinks/beeps and my door closes.
Thanks!

Hi Mike - The flashing light on the MyQ Garage and any of our MyQ garage door openers is there as a warning to anyone that may be in the way of the door when it's being activated from the app. It's a warning to say that the door is about to close. As far as the issue you are having, I want to understand, when the lights on your opener are on, the door won't close?
Hi! If my garage interior lights are on ( and they are very bright- may be brighter than the blinking safety light on the myq unit) and I initiate the close garage door command on my cell phone app, the my q will flash its safety light and beep, but the door won't close. If I shut off my interior garage lights and initiate the door close command via the myq cell app, the my q device will blink its safety light, beep and the door closes just fine. Any ideas?
Mike- That's a new one for me. Does this same thing happen when you try to use your hand held remote? Another question, do you have LED lights in your opener? If you do, can you try removing the lights and let me know if you still have the same issue. Also, what brand and model garage door opener do you have?
I have experienced the same issue, do we have a solution for this? Thanks!
I have 2 doors programmed and open and closes with the iPhone app the other only opens and will not close with the iPhone app. Both work with regular controllers and the wall buttons.
Just finished the activation of MyQ with my new opener(Model # LW9000WF) Timed out on the first attempt because I thought I had our network password memorized. 2nd time everything worked and I heard the three beeps indicating success.
I too have the flashing lights and beeping as the door is closing and only through MyQ. It does make sense that it's a warning of the closing door to anyone who might casually wander in while I'm away and have forgotten to close the door with a remote (it does not happen when using any other device,eg, remote, wall switch or the keyless entry). I don't use LED bulbs in the opener. At first, I thought it was some type of system warning indicating a problem of some sort.
Would just like to confirm that this is normal?
1 final question:
Regarding the Wi-Fi hub, I don't see any blinking light. Is this only activated when the hub is interacting with internet?
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the product.

I see a lot of people asking the same question and no answers?!? I have the same issue, my hub is about 3 feet from the motor.
