Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Step 1: Prepare Your Garage Door

  • Make sure the garage door is open before installing the sensor.

Step 2: Mount the Sensor Based on Door Type

  • Roller Door: Attach to one of the spokes on the opposite side to the motor.

 
  • Panel door: use the supplied panel door adapter by sticking the sensor to it, and attach this to the door shaft on either side.
  • Tilt door: attach it to the bottom of your door. 

Step 3: Disconnect Power

  • Unplug your garage door motor from power for safety before continuing.

 

Step 4: Wire the Controller

  • Locate the push button terminals on your garage motor.

  • Connect wires from the controller’s M1 port to these terminals.

Have a second garage door?

You can link a second motor to M2, but you’ll need an additional sensor. One controller can handle two doors.


Step 5: Mount the Controller

  • Use the pre-attached adhesive to stick the controller to your wall or ceiling.

  • Plug in both the controller and garage motor.

  • Wait for the light to turn blue, this means it’s ready to pair.

Step 6: Pair with the Zimi App

  • Open the Zimi app.

  • If you haven’t yet, create a Smart Home network and give it a name.

  • Zimi will begin searching for the controller.

  • When found, follow the wizard to:

    • Pair the Flight Path sensor

    • Train your garage door with open/close cycles

    • Activate Flight Path control for partial opening
