Our new Wayne-Dalton iDrive garage door opener operates its associated
light fitting via an IR beam: the opener proper installs right above the
door, while the light fitting can be mounted to any convenient outlet
within "view" of the opener.

The light operated correctly when it was first installed, but then would
sometimes switch on but not be able to be switched off except by killing
the power to that circuit -- and even then the light would sometimes
switch on and stay on as soon as power was restored.

I called Wayne-Dalton Customer Service. . . .

They are going to send a new light unit and a new motor-control board
(mine is an older revision, it appears), but . . .

I bought the opener in question at Menards because they had a "10% off
Everything" sale. It has a Date of Manufacture code of 0903 (presumably
Sept. 03). Lowes has what seems to be a later revision with better
instructions and a different wall-mounting control having at least one
additional feature, a "vacation lock."

Lowes (and perhaps HD as well) turn their stock over more frequently and
may have more up-to-date products, it would appear. And Menards is a
sizeable chain; what are your chances of getting the new and improved
versions at "Joe's Hardware?"
