As the title says, have a new Blaq with a new (2026) LM 98022 opener, 880LMW wall panel, and I can NOT get this thing to work with the opener. I’ve read through every other relevant post, and I seem to have some combination of ALL of the problem. Wall panel loses time/connectivity regularly. The blaq is alive, responds correctly, but doesn’t actually communicate well, or at all. Sometimes, it can open/close the opener, but rarely. Some of the status is correct - sometimes. Basically the answer to everything is “sometimes”. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won’t do (whatever). And when it does one thing, that doesn’t mean that it will do anything else. Example, it MIGHT open/close the door, but it will probably show the wrong status of the door, the motor, light, etc. But, maybe not. It may show the correct status, but won’t move the door.
I’ve factory reset it several times. Loaded the latest of everything I can find (ESP version 2026.1.3, project 1.5.7.2). Tried it on my other, absolutely identical opener, same thing. Rebooted the opener and the Blaq - including removing the backup battery, no change.
Removed wall panel, only using the Blaq, no change. It will sometimes say it’s synced when I choose “auto”, and when it does this, it’ll sometimes do some things correctly. But rarely. But sometimes it’ll keep trying to sync for days, but won’t. Then if I set it to 2.0, it’ll sync….and sometimes do some things. Sometimes it’ll “sync” to 1.0 w/ smart wall panel, but if it autos to that or if I set it manually, it’ll say it’s synced, but it won’t do anything at all then.
I have an old RatGDO that actually works perfectly fine with it’s opener, and both of these new ones. Syncs right up automatically - didn’t have to do anything other than wire it up and turn it on!
I’m at a complete loss. This thing seems to have lost its mind. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I can’t imagine anything that I haven’t tried without the exact same result. IE, “sometimes”.
