wireless overhead door safety sensors

[dbsoccer]

I'm in the process of a complete garage re-do. It started with a 15ft addition to the back of the existing. I'm now in the throws of insulation, sheetrock/texture/paint and an expoxy floor.

In prep for taping and texturing some existing sheet rock I've become aware, again, of the ugly disorganized wires that run from the opener to the safety sensors. Is there a wireless solution? I also have wires running from the opener to a palm switch located near the door into the house. Again, wireless would dress this up a bit.

I've done a bit of web searching and forum searching but nothing jumped out.

Thanks.

They are out there but hard to find. None of the big opener companies use them because of liability. I asked my Rep. If you have access you can hide the wires in the wall.

Bury them before you drywall. No help on the wireless.

Unfortunately the portion of the garage that has the opener (and needs the wires) is already sheet rocked.

Is a wireless switch available similar to the remotes we have in vehicles? This seem pretty obvious with no real safety concerns.

I'll try to do a better job hiding sensor wires than the original installer did.

Thanks for the input.

Back in the days of wired land line phones I had a phone co installer lower a wall phone 8 inches.

I cut a 1/4 inch deep channel in the drywall for him to put the wire in and used spackle to hide it after he left.
After painting you never knew.

I think panduit and wiremold make small, plastic, self-adhesive channels- ive used that for sensors/wires on one.

Or just take the PITA sensors out.
