Mark's Wyze Garage Door Controller Installation Hints

Close all the apps on the smartphone. Shut it down and restart it, opening only the Wyze app and home Wi-Fi software.
I have an eero Wi-Fi system. I enabled "Legacy Mode" in case the camera had trouble with IPV6. Also, I disabled the 5 Ghz band for 10 minutes because the camera uses the 2.4 Ghz band.
I used my eero Guest Network to set up the camera because it is far less crowded that my "regular" eero network.
The QR code's 8 ½ x 11-inch size made it too big for a single panel of my garage door. I solved this by scanning the letter-size QR code, and then printing it at 60 pct. so it would fit on a single panel. This way, when the garage door opens and closes, it doesn't crease or wrinkle the QR code sticker.
I had a licensed electrician connect the two wires to my garage door opener, which was installed in 2006. My reasoning was that I know nothing about electrical wiring, and if anything went wrong, the electrician could fix it. Nothing went wrong, and the electrician did the hook-up in 15 seconds.
A-Lady integration involved setting up the Wyze "skill," which was easy and which the Wyze directions explained.
