Part 2: Connect power to SGO-2
Part 3: Connect SGO-2 to your home WiFi
Part 4: Link device to app and create account
Find the "Learn" button on your garage motor
Locate your garage door opener motor (usually mounted on the ceiling). Look for the "Learn" button โ it's typically on the back or side panel.
The Learn button color determines compatibility. SGO-2 works with Purple, Red/Orange, Yellow, and Green buttons.
Press the Learn button once and watch the LED color. Common colors:
Activate the garage's learning mode
Press and release the Learn button on your garage motor. The LED will light up, indicating it's ready to pair with a new remote (30-second window).
You have 30 seconds from pressing the Learn button to complete the next step. Work quickly!
Activate the remote inside SGO-2 (NO POWER NEEDED)
Locate the pairing button on the front/top of your SGO-2 device. Press and hold it for 2-3 seconds.
Do NOT connect SGO-2 to power during pairing! The remote inside has its own battery. Just press the pairing button โ that's it!
The relay inside SGO-2 is pressing the garage remote button, sending the pairing signal to your garage opener.
Garage LED will blink to confirm
Look at your garage opener motor. The LED should blink to confirm the remote was successfully paired.
Blinking LED = SGO-2 is now paired with your garage! The remote inside can now control your garage door.
Choose Micro USB or 12V adapter
Now that pairing is complete, connect power to your SGO-2. You have two power options:
Option 1: Micro USB cable (like a phone charger) - 5V
Option 2: 12V power adapter with included power socket and USB port
Plug your SGO-2 into power. The red LED will start blinking, indicating it's not connected to WiFi yet.
The 12V adapter includes a power socket and USB port, allowing you to power both SGO-1 and SGO-2 from a single outlet if needed!
Device is powered but not connected
When you see the red LED blinking, your SGO-2 is powered on but not yet connected to WiFi.
Blinking Red = Needs WiFi setup
