Why is my SOMFY Garage Door Opener not responding to the remote control?
- B
  Bradley RyanAug 20, 2025
  If the SOMFY Garage Door Opener motors aren't responding to the remote, it could be due to several reasons. First, the remote control battery might be low, so check it. Second, the control unit aerial (wiring, position) may have issues. Also, external factors like electric pylons or metal walls might be interfering with the signal; consider fitting an offset aerial if this is the case. Finally, ensure the remote control is properly memorized. If not, you will need to memorize the remote control. You should also check the motor wiring.

  The remote control range might be reduced due to a low battery; check the remote control battery. Also, ensure the control unit antenna is properly wired and positioned. Outside elements like electric pylons or metal-reinforced walls may interfere with the radio signal; consider fitting a remote antenna. Rememorize the remote control. Finally, check the motor wiring.

  If the control unit's indicator light flashes 6 times, there may be a short circuit in the electronics unit's 'BUS' output, '24 V output', or flashing light. Check the accessories connected to the 'BUS' and '24 V' outputs. Also, a motor short circuit could be the cause, so check the motor wiring.
