Wi-Fi Requirements
Niro requires a 2.4GHz or 5GHz router (802.11bg/n) for
Wi-Fi connectivity. This is a standard home Wi-Fi router.
You will need your Wi-Fi name and password when
pairing your mobile device and GDC.
Note: If you are using a 2.4GHz + 5 GHz dual band router, create
separate SSID names for each band on your Wi-Fi router settings
page. This will make it easier for you to select the 2.4GHz or 5GHz
band for the device setup.
Mobile Device Requirements
The Momentum app requires a smart phone or tablet
device that runs on Android or iOS. Please see the in-app
description for device compatibility for the most up-to-date
info.
Garage Door Opener Requirements
Niro is compatible with most garage door openers
manufactured after 1993. However, it is not compatible
with any openers utilizing Security+ 2.0 or MyQ®
technology. Openers with Security+ 2.0 will usually have a
yellow ‘learn’ button on it.

Step 2: Connect Wires to the Garage Opener
Unplug your garage opener. This is to prevent your
garage door from involuntarily opening/closing during
the next few steps.
Locate your garage wall remote console. You should
see some wires that come out of it that lead all the
way to terminals on the back of your garage opener.
Note: It is very important that you choose the correct
wires in the garage opener’s terminals. If you’re unsure,
refer to your garage opener’s owner’s manual for
clarification.

Most garage opener connection ports will look like the
images below.
For this type of terminal, use a flat head screwdriver or
a similar tool to press the tab to release the wires from
the terminals as shown above.
For a screw type terminal, use a screwdriver to loosen
the screws.

Connect the provided wires from Niro’s box into the
same wire terminals as your wall remote console.
The process may vary between different garage
opener models.
Notes:
Twisting the wires together for each terminal will help
for a better connection, however make sure the wall
console wires go back into their original terminals.
The provided wires for Niro are neutral, so it doesn’t
matter which wire goes into which terminal.
