Introduction
miDoor is a revolutionary new Internet-enabled device that allows users to remotely view their
garage door status and open or close it with an iPhone®, iPad®or a Web-browser.
In addition to monitoring the status of the garage door and closing or opening the door,
miDoor allows sophisticated alarms to be created, supports multiple users and has an event
log.
miDoor requires initial installation and setup. Instructions for both are included in this manual.
miDoor can replace an existing door switch which allows it to open or close a garage door. In
addition, a sensor is added to the garage door to allow miDoor to monitor the status of the
door.
Once miDoor is physically installed the basic configuration must be configured. This includes
the Wi-Fi settings and the network settings.
Once the initial installation and networking settings are completed miDoor is ready for
operation.

Theory of Operation
miDoor replaces an existing garage door opener’s wired button. When miDoor receives
authorized and valid commands, miDoor will simulate the push of a garage door button and
cause the garage door to open, close, or pause operation.
The button on the front of the miDoor device (main push button) will simulate the original
garage door opener’s wired button. The push of this button, if it causes an open or close
action, will be logged as user ‘Button’.
When receiving commands from an iPhone, iPad or WEB-browser the iPhone, iPad, or WEB-
browser must be located on the same local IP network as the miDoor device in order for
miDoor to operate the garage door. Any remote access, such as through the Internet, will not
be allowed to operate the garage door. This requirement is for safety and security reasons.
Never operate the garage door unless you can visually inspect the door for clearance from any
objects or persons. Failure to do so can cause injury, death or property damage. miDoor has
NO sensors to prevent any person or object from being harmed by the operation of the door.
In addition to the local private network requirement, the user logged in to the miDoor device will
have to have access privileges to operate the garage door.
miDoor will not interfere with any other remote device such as devices paired with the garage
door opener. Examples are the HomeLink® or universal remotes in automobiles and existing
wireless remotes including keypads. miDoor can not control or limit these devices.

4 Push'Button'(Door'Controller)'
This is a replacement push button for the original garage door controller push button. Push
this button to control the garage door. This button will cause the door to operate in the same
way that the original push button operated the garage door. Typically a push will either open
or close the garage door or if the door is in operation will stop the door operation.
This button also serves two addition functions. If the button is depressed for 5 continuous
seconds it will cancel any active alarms.
If this button is depressed while the miDoor device is booting up (depressed while power is
applied) then the miDoor will enter initial configuration mode (see Initial Configuration.)
5 Buzzer'
When there is an active alarm and if that alarm was configured to ring the buzzer then a high-
pitch buzzer will sound. Depressing the push button for 5 continuous seconds can stop the
buzzer by clearing the currently active alarm.

Installation
Please read the entire installation section first before installing the miDoor device.
Preparation
miDoor replaces an existing wired garage door opener’s control button. These buttons vary in
shape and size, depending on the manufacturer of the garage door opener. They are typically
located in the garage near the entrance to the house from the garage. See Figure 5.
Figure 5
Figure 4 (Routed Control Wires)

miDoor: revision 0.01 Installation and Reference

Locate the garage door opener’s control button and verify that it has two wires coming from the
main unit of the garage door opener. Some time the wires are routed on the surface of the wall
and sometimes they are routed behind the wall. See Figure 4 (Routed Control Wires).
Next locate a suitable location to mount miDoor. This can be where the existing control button
is located or in nearby location. The wires to the existing control button will have to reach the
miDoor device.
In addition, miDoor requires power so you will also need to find a power outlet that the power
supply for miDoor can be plugged into.
miDoor mounts to the garage wall using high-strength Velcro. The wall that miDoor attaches to
must be clear of debris and residue and have a suitable surface for the adhesive tape to bond
with.
Before removing the existing garage door opener’s control button or installing miDoor make
sure that miDoor is not powered on and that the garage door opener is powered off. You will
have to remove the plug to the garage door opener to turn it off.
Tools Needed
•Screw drivers to disconnect the existing garage door opener’s control button from the
wall and to remove the wires.
•Wire stripper
•A Wi-Fi enabled PC with a WEB-browser capable of supporting adhoc mode.
Device Installation
Installation of the miDoor device requires:
•That the original garage door opener control button is replaced with the miDoor device
(included),
•That a magnetic sensor (included) be added to the garage door,
•That a cable (included) be added from the installed magnetic sensor to the miDoor
device,
•And that a power supply (included) is plugged in and connected to the miDoor device.

miDoor: revision 0.01 Installation and Reference

Locate the original garage door opener’s control button and remove it from the wall and the
attached wires. With the button and wires removed attach the miDoor device to the wall using
the supplied Velcro.
To attach miDoor to the wall peel off the protective cover of the adhesive strip from the Velcro
and push the strip against the wall. It is recommend to leave the Velcro attached to the miDoor
device and simply attach the Velcro to the wall by positioning the miDoor device to the correct
location and pressing it (adhesive side of the Velcro) to the wall.
Please be sure to position the miDoor device such that the existing wires from the garage door
opener can reach the miDoor device.
Once miDoor is attached make sure ¼inch of conductive wire is showing from each wire that
was removed from the original garage door push button and push the bare wire into the right-
most openings of the 7-pin terminal block. (These are the openings labeled as “2Garage Door
Opener” in Figure 3 (Bottom of miDoor).)
It may be necessary to cut the tips of the wires that attached to the original garage door push
button and re-strip them if they are too frayed or damaged to push into the terminal block.
After the miDoor device is attached to the wall and the control wires are attached to the miDoor
device the next step is to install the garage door open and close magnetic proximity sensor
(included).

Figure 6 (installed proximity sensor)
Locate a position on the garage door where you can attach the magnetic proximity sensor.
The location must be where both pieces of the magnetic proximity sensor can be mounted and
the wires ran from the sensor back to the miDoor device.
In Figure 6 the proximity sensor is located at the top of the garage door in the center and the
wire is routed back to the miDoor device on the ceiling. The actual location depends on your
garage and preference.

miDoor: revision 0.01 Installation and Reference

17
When mounting the proximity sensor the magnetic portion of the sensors must be within ½of
an inch to each other and aligned parallel to each other when the garage door is in the fully
closed position.
Once the proximity sensor is closed attach the wires to the two terminals of the sensor and
route back to the miDoor device. Be sure to route the wires such that they are free and clear of
any obstacles and do not inhibit the operation of the garage door.
If the wire is too long you can coil up the loose part or cut the wire shorter. If cutting the wire
please be sure to keep several inches of slack in the wire so that you can easily remove the
miDoor device from the wall if necessary.
If cutting the wires you will have to strip off about ¼inch of the protective insulation. Place
each end of the wire into the proper terminals of the 7-pin terminal block. (These are the
openings labeled as “3Garage Door Sensor” in Figure 3 (Bottom of miDoor).)
Once the proximity sensor is installed and wired, the next step is to power up the miDoor
device. Plug in the power supply into a wall socket and plug in the power jack into the miDoor
unit. The green light should illuminate.
All that remains is to initialize the miDoor device. See the Initial Configuration section for
instructions on configuring the device.

Initial Configuration
Whenever miDoor is powered on without any network configuration, such as when it is first
installed, miDoor creates a default Wi-Fi unsecured adhoc end-point with an IP address of
169.254.1.1.
Normally Wi-Fi devices, such as miDoor, communicate to Wi-Fi routers or Access Points in
“infrastructure” mode. However, a special mode called “adhoc” mode is part of the Wi-Fi
802.11 standard. This allows for point-to-point connections between, for example, a miDoor
device and a PC.
When in “adhoc” mode miDoor will default to a well know IP address of 169.254.1.1 and will
identify itself to other Wi-Fi devices in adhoc mode as “miDoor”. This will allow a computer to
connect to miDoor in adhoc mode and to enable a WEB-browser to be used for initial
configuration.
Please note that when in adhoc mode miDoor is unsecured. It is important to configure
miDoor as soon as possible and restart it in infrastructure mode.
When miDoor is powered up and in adhoc mode do the following steps:
1. Connect to miDoor using adhoc mode.
See Connecting to miDoor in Adhoc Mode
2. Point your WEB-browser to miDoor by using the URL http://169.254.1.1.
3. You show see an initial configuration screen
4. Configure the required settings
The SSID and Wi-Fi encryption settings are required and must match the settings
used by your Wi-Fi router or Access Point.
If using DHCP the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS and
Secondary DNS fields are not required and are ignored.
If not using DHCP the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and Primary DNS fields
must be correctly specified and match the network settings.
The HTTP Port, HTTPS Port and NTP Server are generally left at default values.
In order to keep track of time, the NTP Server must be specified. It is strongly
recommended for it to remain as pool.ntp.org.

5. Reboot miDoor
6. Disconnect from miDoor and make sure your computer reconnects to the Wi-Fi router or
Access Point
7. miDoor should boot up and if correctly configured your PC will be able to connect to it
with its new settings.
It is recommend assigning a fixed (static) IP address to miDoor. This way you will quickly
know what IP address is used to connect to miDoor and it will make configuration easier.
When using a fixed IP address disable DHCP and configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway and Primary DNS. When using a fixed IP address you will have to know the local
addressing scheme of your router and will have to make sure you assign an unused IP
address.
If miDoor already has a configuration it can be forced into adhoc mode with an IP address of
169.254.1.1 by powering it off, depressing the main button and keeping it depressed while re-
applying power. Keep the main button depress for 5 seconds after re-applying power. You will
be able to modify the Wi-Fi and network settings using adhoc mode and a WEB-browser. No
settings will be lost from permanent configuration when forcing miDoor into adhoc mode.
