ABSTRACT:
A wireless safety system for a garage door opener adapted for use at least in part with an independent energy source is provided. The wireless safety system includes a control circuit for controlling movement of the garage door. An activation member provides an input to the control circuit to initiate motion of the garage door. A detecting member detects whether an obstruction is provided in the path of the garage door. The detecting member includes a first state, wherein the detection member does not detect obstructions and consumes minimal energy, and a second state wherein the detection member detects obstructions. The detection member is selectively switchable between the first state (dormant) and the second state (active) by the control circuit.
