I love the Garage Door Controller. I want the schedule to check to see if the garage door is closed every night at 10pm. I scheduled it. But, when it is closed, it actually opens the door first a few feet – and then closes it. My desire is to close it if it is open, and do nothing if it is already closed.
What am I doing wrong?
The way you want it to work should be the way it works “My desire is to close it if it is open, and do nothing if it is already closed.” It should just check the QR code, and if it finds it in the closed position do nothing.
So maybe you need to recalibrate your QR code? Can it see the code well at 10 PM? The only part I really don’t understand is the “opens the door a few feet”. If it doesn’t see the QR code, it should open the door fully if it starts out closed. Anyway, try recalibrating the QR code and see if that helps.
Has this changed? I just purchased the controller. And I can’t even find where to set up the “close at a specific time.”
Close at a specific time Rule below. I suspect @CatHome’s issue was the camera was too far back in the garage to read the bar code (which tells the system whether the door is opened or closed), but I’ll let them chime in on that.
Thank you.
I’ve been having the same problem. I’ve recalibrated, I’ve made a larger QR code for door, and I leave a light on so code is easily seen. I give up. Waiting for some kind of update.
My Camera was mounted under the garage door motor/opener, so it was close enough
I think my issue occured because the camera was moved (by me) when I inserted a microSD card, and did not recalibrate.
The GDC, when out of calibration should have all funtionality disabled by the GDC when it falls out of calibration… but does it know its out of calibration?
Thus my actions caused the door to open, when it was closed already due to being out of calibration.
Thus, I do not use this feature anymore, as I don’t trust it not to go out of calibration on it’s own.

My camera is 14 feet from door. I even enlarged the QR code. Then recalibrated. Still same result
Please excuse any typos or grammatical errors as this was written via IPhone
Same issue for me. Any updates?
I am also having this issue. Set schedule to close garage door at 9:30pm just in case I forget. My controller consistently opens the CLOSED garage door for about 30 seconds and then closes it.
I have the camera and controller mounted under the opener. I have updated the camera and controller and recalibrated the camera.
Anyone have a fix?
Same thing here. Been waiting years for this fix.
Please fix this @WyzeNathan @WyzeTao
Are you sure the Camera can see the Bar Code? If the Barcode is not seen, it may think the door is open and triggers the garage door opener which then would open the door.
What I and others have done is take the barcode and make it bigger. I went to FedEx and enlarged the Barcode considerably. Not saying to do this, but it is something which I did and it worked out well for me.
with that said, and knowing you calibrated it, I would first dust the lens off, restart the camera and the calibrate again.
@anm5030 @passet Thanks for reporting. Could we try to re-calibrate in the garage door opener setting? By correct calibration the garage door should know QR code position to determine if it is “open” or “closed” before trigger the schedule. Thank you so much!
Rule/Schedule in this case will only be triggered if “QR code is not in closed position”

Please go to the Controller Settings>QR Code Detection>QR code Calibration to re-calibrate your QR code.
Please make sure the Night Vision Mode is in Auto so when your garage gets dark, the camera can see the QR code sticker. Please also use the QR code sticker that comes with the package because it uses metallic ink for a better visibility in night vision mode. If you need new QR code stickers, you can go to Wyze store to get a replacement sticker.
