Learn how to replace the QR code sticker on your Wyze Garage Door Controller, where to place it, and how to fix scanning issues.

Quick answer

Replace the QR code sticker on your Wyze Garage Door Controller by cleaning the area, peeling off the old sticker, and applying the new one in the exact same spot. If the QR code isn't scanning, check the sticker's condition and placement before re-pairing.

Why the sticker matters and when to replace it

The QR code sticker on your Wyze Garage Door Controller is used during initial setup to pair the controller with the Wyze app. Over time, the sticker can become scratched, faded, or peel off, making it difficult or impossible to scan. Replacing it with a fresh sticker ensures your controller remains easy to set up or re-pair if you change Wi-Fi networks or move the device.

The replacement sticker is an official Wyze part, so it matches the original in size and adhesive quality. Using a third-party sticker might not adhere well or could be printed with a different QR code, which would not work with your controller.

Step-by-step replacement guide

Gather supplies: You'll need the new Wyze Garage Door Controller QR Code Sticker, a clean, dry cloth, and rubbing alcohol (optional). Make sure you have access to the controller's mounting location. Check that the replacement sticker is the correct model for your controller before starting.
Clean the surface: Wipe the area where the sticker sits with a dry cloth. If there's residue or grease, use a cloth lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely. This ensures the new sticker adheres properly. A clean surface is critical for the sticker to stick and remain scannable.
Remove the old sticker: Carefully peel off the old sticker. If it's stuck, use a plastic scraper or your fingernail to lift an edge. Avoid scratching the controller's surface. Remove any leftover adhesive with a soft cloth and rubbing alcohol. Don't use metal tools; they can damage the controller's finish.
Apply the new sticker: Peel the backing off the new sticker and align it in the exact same position as the old one. Press down firmly from the center outward to avoid air bubbles. Make sure the sticker lies flat with no wrinkles. Air bubbles or wrinkles can distort the QR code and cause scanning problems.
Test the QR code: Open the Wyze app and attempt to scan the QR code with your phone's camera. If it doesn't scan, check that the sticker is clean and not damaged. If the code still fails, try repositioning the phone or increasing the room's lighting. If scanning fails repeatedly, the sticker may be defective—contact Wyze support for a replacement.
Re-pair if needed: If you replaced the sticker because the old one was unreadable, you may need to re-pair the controller with the Wyze app. Follow the app's instructions for adding a new device, and use the new QR code to complete the setup. Keep the controller powered on during re-pairing to avoid interruptions.
