Opening and closing on its own

My unit has been installed for about 6 months with no problem.   Today it has opened and closed on its own 4 times.  What might be the causes?

  • Same thing happened to me yesterday, also installed about 6 months with no issues. It ended up opening / closing continuously. I removed the backup battery, reset power (for 15-20 seconds), still happened. Removed power overnight and the installer came today to check it out, he powered it on and it was working totally normally. I can only guess that a longer power cycle did a full reset. I wish I knew why it happened, I have kind of lost faith that my house is secure.

  • The only plausible explanation I have for the weird behavior in my case is that the next day (after the guy had come, powered it back up and it mysteriously started working normally again) I came across the spare remote stuffed in the back of a drawer - I am now convinced that there was a bunch of junk piled on it pressing the button. After reading this thread https://myqcommunity.liftmaster.com/liftmastermyq/topics/myq-opens-the-door-randomly-withour-being-p... it seems to be a very common issue.
    If it helps, in my case I also eliminated the internet as the source by doing a wifi reset and the open/closing continued.
