If the shipping wasn't so expensive I think you could have sold it to someone in Morocco. They are still quite popular there ;)

I have use this one since 2019. It works great for me. Red light when a door is up. No remote notification. I extended the red LED on a long wire and put the LED on a panel on my wall next to a light switch so that I didn't have to have the receiver out and visible...

Thanks for the ideas. I am aware that the openers are old but except for these two surprise opens, they still work well. I tend to not throw out stuff that is working but I understand that what I have does not have, to say the least, the latest, most secure radio system. My house was built in...

I have two car doors in my garage with older Genie openers. I have lived in the house for over five years and never had a problem with them until the last couple of weeks. We had a random open of one door two weeks ago. I had a WiFi device connected to that one that would allow remote control...

Thanks for this link. It provided hours of great reading. The writing was great. I feel like I was with a friend looking at and talking about his tool collection.

Thanks for all the input gents.
