Garage Door Remote Problems

Sounds like it has more to do with the bulb in the opener then other lights in and around the garage. But it is possible to have a bargain bulb throw out random emmisions right in the garage opener rf band. Change to a regular bulb, or even try a different brand of LED.

I think you're right. I removed the LED bulb from the opener, and wa-la, the remote seems to works again. Before, the remote and even the external keypad (which is really just a remote, not hard-wired) worked only sporadically. I still have two LED floods on a motion detector just above the garage door, as well as a wireless Arlo camera on each corner of the garage, but I think just the LED bulb in the opener itself was causing the problem. I'll test it more to be sure that today wasn't just a lucky day, but encouraging so far.
