Further update...

After bypassing the in-wall wiring and a few other troubleshooting steps, the issue is still happening. I do not think it has anything to do with my soldered wires on the board but of course, since this is a modification, the garage door company wants to blame it on me :). The builder has requested that they replace the motor head and/or examine the sensor wiring. It seems a bit far fetched that any signeal introduced by a simple relat soldered to the button would cause some sort of door pressure error.

Whatever board you soldered you should be replacing at this point. go back to stock with the new board and see how things work. then use the button linked earlier int he thread when things work fine with the new board.

You modified a board. you cannot expect the manufacturer to touch it at this point. This is the hazard of modifying things. You have to accept that maybe you did mess something up. And even if you didnt, you became responsible for that board the second you put the soldering iron on it.

I have those openers, assuming they are the side mount Jack shaft style.  If the cables aren’t tensioned properly, the symptom you are seeing will present itself.

Are those “two circuit board mounted push button switches” also powered by the 2 wires? Good chance it’s not a simple contact closure - not just an open relay you’re soldering across.

I think you could solder your push button to a (hidden) wireless remote, just keep it accessible to replace batteries. Found mention of the hack using the 893LM remote over on Cocoontech forum.

If it’s a wired keypad to the motor than that’s your issue. You need to use the wireless keypads. The 2 wire not only powers the keypad but is also a comms bus.

Either buy a wireless unit compatible with your motor or get the Garadget pre made piece.

At this point, I would "un-integrate" the garage doors, put in new wall controllers, and see how it behaves. Then it is not on you if there are issues. Let the garage door installers have at it until it works reliably. Then, and only then, integrate them with your control system. This is our method with anything installed by another subcontractor, be it lighting, hvac, garage doors, pool controllers, etc. Make 100% sure it works right before doing anything with it. Or when something goes wrong, they always look at you first, even though it probably has nothing to do with you. :)

It's possible that the issue could be related to electrical interference, such as from nearby electronics or wiring. You may want to try relocating the access control system or MyQ garage door opener to see if that helps resolve the issue. It's also possible that there could be a problem with the wiring or installation of the opener, so you may want to have a professional check the installation and wiring to ensure it is correct and functioning properly. Another possible solution could be to try using a different type of access control system that is specifically designed to work with MyQ garage door openers.

I just had two (87504-267 secure view) liftmaster garage doors installed and previously integrated using two wires for sensing and two wires for open/close. I also used the Security+ 2.0 Wired Dry Contact Adapter from Garadget but recently the doors will not close all the way when using the remote. Sometimes it stops midway and then goes back up. I've checked the sensors at the bottom of the doors because this usually is the issue but nothing has changed. I use Control4; I ended up removing the contacts entirely and not having it controlled by Control4 but with the Garadget device connected, it still randomly stops closing and goes back up. Anyone else experience this?

I'm in a place with an old garage door, and soon after moving in, the garage door did not reliably close all the way. I adjusted the track that the end pulleys run on and it has worked for a few years now.

Sigh. And then started malfunctioning a week or so ago.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Final update...
This issue was in fact caused by the soldered conductors. No insight as to why some doors were affected and not others but it could be inductive voltage. The manufacturer has recently altered the circuitry on these wired openers to accomodate functionality features as a result of a lawsuit.It seems this makes them a bit sensitive.

The solution posted by goldenzrule is not compatible with this new version. I solved this by hacking compatible wireless units. I need to find a decent 3v power supply to bypass the coin battery. All is good now.

I ordered 2 based on your recommendation. Unfortunately, no feedback available this way. Need to go with my trusty soldering iron...
Anyone need 2? Just want to get rid of them. 2 for 1 deal plus shipping.
