Does anyone else have transmitter problems? All my transmitters work fine inside the garage, but work poorly from outside when door is closed.

My transmitter is effective for about 1/3 a regular city block. Of course that is my assumption of what your particular "problem" is. My transmitters both work well and are reliable, what exactly are the "problems" you are having? Range, does not work at all, door changes direction inadvertently without any action on your part?

Back again ... also, here's Aiphone tech support. Maybe contact them just to be sure. http://www.aiphone.com/home/support/technical-support/ Just as a note, when installing these, don't get the outdoor unit too close to the indoor unit, like just around the wall/door on the inside, because feedback can occur, I've had that happen on some installations.

No. No transmitter, just an alarm that I can hear throughout my downstairs with the garage door closed. (I have it on the circuit my freezer is on in my garage.) It has saved me hundreds of dollars worth of food.

I had trouble syncing the outdoor transmitter and main unit when I first got it as well.. had to take out and reinsert the batteries of both a couple times for it to show the outdoor temperature correctly.. left on channel 1.

I have my wireless for a long time. I have had no problems with it. However if transmitter and receiver are not close, I would have problems as other are discussing. When I move them closer together it takes care of the problem. I hope this helps.

Good responses from other owners. Also consider whether the radio is getting the signal at all. In my case, it didn't work except on a wall facing Colorado --in my case, west -- and had a nearby window. Now it updates consistently withno problems. If I have it in any other location, it does't receive the signal and doesn't update.

Based on my experience with the unit (which I'm very happy with), I would say there is something wrong with yours. Mine is very sensitive to any type of movement anywhere in my garage. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer directly.

Yes, we are currently checking our warranty to see if we have recourse or are just plain out of luck. The sensor/transmitter pair have been extremely difficult to align and the unit switches into "safety mode" (the garage door pops back up) when nothing is apparently breaking the beam. We've tried the tp roll trick/cardboard box side trick in the hopes that it is glare off the garage floor to no avail. (Even pops up at night when there is no light shining in the garage.) We've watched it close the garage door and then locked the door to the garage only to find later that the garage door is somehow open. Today the garage door guy came buy to check it out and has diagnosed it with a bad circuit board. We purchased ours in 2011 and it isn't quite 3 years old yet.

Mine does not do that. I would consider the distance from the receiver in the house to the transmitter/sensor, to see if it is trying to locate the sensor. Try re-sequencing the unit by reinstalling the batteries. Start with the units close to each other and move away till you reach the house location. If distance isn't the issue, contact the manufacturer and or seller. I would think if the light is blinking frequently, it would run the batteries down sooner. Low battery somewhere might be another issue. All I can think of is poor reception or low battery in either unit.

I first used the transmitter on an older vehicle and went in and out of static depending on my area. I got a newer vehicle and have a completely different experience. It probably has to do with the actual frequency your cars audio system is actually able to maintain. Unless you have a newer car, this would be my guess.

I bought my transmitter/receiver set on ebay so you may want to check there. Or check in with Creative Labs. Good luck.

I had no trouble with programing garage doors but cannot get it to do our property gate. I had no trouble with wiping out other controllers but mine is a rolling system and it should not. Were they all set to open this gate. I plan to use google to look into the problem when I get back to ohio...

I don't know if it will work inside....I have it outside and never had any problems with the transmitter....the problems are with the collar...they don't work as good..

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.

One issue was resolved with a quick call to Peerless tech. I connected transmitter to DirecTV then out to Yamaha receiver. Picture/sound flickered on/off. I had to connect transmitter after AV receiver, not before. Works great, and now any device connected to my receiver (BluRay, CD, VCR) is transmitted to remote TV. Putting transmitter inside cabinet reduced signal, but placing it as close to receiver as possible, receiving signal is 4 bars (highest) even through 2 walls and on another floor.

I have two wireless transmitters in my home. I never had a problem running both at the same time. My second transmitter is a different brand though.

Make sure there are no large metal objects between( line of sight) the two units. The metal object could be a refrigerator inside the house or a car parked outside. Also, the mail box itself can block the signal if it is metal. I had to extend the antennal wire on the transmitter a few inches outside my metal mailbox to cure intermittent operation.
