    I recently replaced my original Blackbox with a Blackbox X32. I previously used the 'with door' firmware, and I flashed the 'with door' firmware onto my new Blackbox X32.

    I use this wireless remote control switch to 'open and close the door' (soft stop).

    Now when I power everything off, the door opens... I hear the wireless relay click, and when I restart the Blackbox, the door light isn't illuminated. I have to close the door (evidenced by the green door light illuminating), then everything operates normally.

    Is this a change on the Blackbox X32... is it sending a signal to open the door when it shuts down?

    Door port is an Input. Doesn't send any signals

    so the wireless relay forgets to stay on when the power is off. Nothing strange there (-:

    & just a week ago the wireless relay magically remembered to stay on when the power was off.
    Thanks for the insight.

    Rewired relay from NC to NO?
    An NO relay would need power to stay closed

    I'll dig into it & figure out what's happening. I just wanted to check first & see if there was anything different about BBx32, since it's the only thing that I replaced. Having it open the door when powered off seemed like it could've been an on purpose thing, but if it's not sending a signal it can't be that. Thanks..
