I want to put up two above my garage doors. They will be twelve feet apart, will be a problem with the sensors? I'm thinking one might shut off

They will be fine. Because as you can see from the pictures, it has a cap on the top and the light sensor is located on the cap area.

I don't think you will have any issues, they don't seem to be that sensitive. They work pretty well, I have no complaints so far.

I have three twelve feet apart and have no problems with the sensors. The lights shine down and the sensors face upwards
1376235
You will be fine. The sensors are above the light fixture will not affect one another, it shines down and outward

I don't think they will, the light sensor is on the top front of the lamp and the leds emit the light downwards. So it will not be cancelling each other as long are at the same height.

I have not permanently mounted mine yet but I'm using it above a garage door that leads into the house. As long as you have enough space to allow intake air to get into the unit, it should work. I left about 10 inches between the top of the unit and the garage ceiling. This way the garage door can remain open and the Maxwell will prevent insects etc from entering the house.

yes. I have 2 openers side by side and I had the same issue. I called lift master several times. Finally I got someone that was knowledgable enough to help me. he said that if the openers are too close together this problem occurs. He suggested moving one so that they are about 18" apart. The other option is to turn off the sensor on one.

I have mine hooked up in a 3 stall garage and haven't had any problems or concerns. I also don't see why it would be a danger in a small space especially with the thermostat control.

YES. I used them in my garage and they come w/a cover for the sensor also so you can power them up via switch

I have four; one has the sensor facing the house and is a few inches from the wall. It does not affect its ability to detect light and it turns on and off at the same time as the others.

I have one in the garage and one in my laundry room. They're both in ceiling mounted keyless fixtures (no covers), and as you describe is exactly how it works. I dunno how it would work if you put it into a fixture with a cover though. It actually will turn on well before you're directly below it, probably within 15 feet or so it will turn on as long as it has line of sight.

I think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

I purchased 7 of these to operate LED lights we added to the rear of our snow plow trucks at our church. I know that at least 3 of them have different frequencies. I think that if you have 2 with same frequencies, if they are further than 20 ft apart, it probably will not interfere with each other. FYI. I marked the transmitters and receivers with numbers to help identify which units go together.

Mine are at the upper corners of the two sides of my detached garage. They are high enough that I need a tall ladder to reach them. I have an extension cord under the eaves of my garage which is attached to a cord inside. If you put the box at that level they will be far enough away so that you will not be bopped by bugs.

I agree with the above - it should be fine. We have a walkout ranch and the controls are in one end of the house and alarms on another floor at the opposite end of the house. We've never had an issue with the connection.

I have one of these sensors connected to a dual floodlight mounted above and between the doors of my two-car garage and it works fine to illuminate the short double-wide driveway leading from the street to the garage. I'm not sure how it would with your decorative lighting as it is intended to screw into the mount for the dual floodlight unit; but I'd bet a qualified electrician could connect some wiring (possibly through a conduit) to another lamp away from thedual floodlight unit it's intended for.Steven S

I have three garage doors, and believe you can set them up as one or together. Presently using two doors on one sensor alarm point and three other independent sensors. only issue so far is the mounting has to been at bottom garage doors, and battery 2031 last about 4-6 months. If false alarms show up, it is the weak batterys and most time when it gets cold out. In fact all false alarms have been weak batterys, any sensor.

Previous answer was correct. My only challenge with outdoor sensors was proximity .. downstairs thermostat couldn't talk with upstairs sensor outside a window. But adding sensors is totally the solution when you have multiple thermostats. Overall, great products from Honeywell!!!!!

I put mine on the side of the house so that the sensor would have input. check the instructions, you may be able to use it on timer only. DEL

Had the same issue with mine (I have 2 wall controllers located side by side). I called customer support, and they advised that because of the close proximity of the wall controllers, I would need to turn the sensor switch (located under the swing up cover towards the top middle) off on one of the units- seems when they're close like that they mess with each other. Turned the one off for the far side of the garage and now things are working to my satisfaction. The light does not come on for the one with the sensor turned off (unless you turn it on manually, open or close the door, or walk thru the safety sensors), but I can live with that- beats having the lights on 24-7.

Yes, I have five of them mounted under the soffit on the corners of the house. I have one that is also mounted on the wall at the garage. One is actually mounted 27' from the ground and it also works great for detecting motion on the ground. You can also install them in parallel so that if one triggers, the other one will also go on. This way you can light up the whole end of the house if either detects motion. These are great lights- I highly recommend them.
