Wired spotlight interfering with my garage door opener
hardwired-security-cameras
troubleshooting
I just installed a wired spotlight over my garage doors. The garage is separate from the house, so I have a garage door opener mounted on the wall next to the house door. It stopped working, so I changed the batteries. I thought I had that fixed, but it stopped again. I had an epiphany and, sure enough, it turns out that the opener will not work when the spotlight is on. Not at all. The two inside my cars do a little better, but their range is severly shortened when the light is lit.
Other than just taking it down and replacing it, there doesn't seem to be much I can do about it.

- CI am having the same issue. After the floodlight is motion activated, the garage remotes do not work. Has RING written a product bulletin or a solution for this problem? It is very clear that either the bright led or the wifi signal when it reports motion via the RING hub is interfering.•

- ISame issue, just installed the ring motion floodlight (not with camera) and I have twi issues: 1) interferes with garage door opener (craftsman) when the light is on. 2) at that price I can't believe it doesn't have dawn to dusk sensor. Bought a different brand for $23 and it had dusk to dawn and didn't interfere with garage door open, returned it because lumens were only 1000..saw the ring and seeing I have the door bell I said why not...what a mistake and I'm returning it in a couple of days!•
