How Do I lock out remote operation at night, Like my 4th car is standing outside I do NOT want anyone to just break the window and open the garage.

Kartboarder has the correct answer. The wall unit on this device has a "lock" button. When held for 2 seconds, it locks out all remote functionality, except for keypads. Hold another 2 seconds to unlock. This is in the instruction manual for this product.

the big button lifts up and there are more buttons underneath. one happens to lock out the remote operation.

I use a WEMO , http://www.belkin.com/us/Products/home-automation/c/wemo-home-automation/. , on the outlet it plugs into. I can program on and off times and I can also power it on and off from anywhere using my smart phone.

If you park you car outside the garage there is only the option to carry the remote in and out with you or hide it in the car. If you are using the built in opener for the car there are some models the disable the opener if the ignition is not active (or the fob is not in the proximity of the car). There is no commonly available system that allows specific controllers to be disconnected individually. If security is your concern, use the hand held remote and keep it with your keys or design a separate switch box to turn the opener power off like a light switch so you can turn it off at night (maybe?) . . .

My Chamberlain has a lock button on the switch that is permanently mounted in the garage wall. If I push this before I go to bed it locks the garage door opener so no remotes will open it until the unlock button is pressed. It is not wireless though, yet a nice way to lock up the garage as your making your last run around the house to lock up all the doors before heading to bed.

I always take my remotes out of my cars when I go on vacation and leave a car outside. When I'm home, I don't worry because I have my steel blue friends who assist me in watching over my house.

Get a keypad remote for your outdoor cars, like the ones that would be mounted outside your garage. It acts the same as the other remotes but you need a pin number to open or close the garage.

Also not a direct answer to your question, but for my outside car I put a garage door keypad inside rather than a traditional single-button garage door opener. That way if your car is broken into, the bad guy would need to enter a code, not just push a button. A lot more secure than a normal garage door remote and not all that inconvenient for the user.

I have worried about the same. There is no known way, that I am aware of, to set up a standard garage door opener (Chamberlain, Sears, etc.) to not have a remote open it. The system is not smart enough to tell differences between remotes. Bottom line is that you will need to hide your remote. That's my experience and if someone else has figured out a way using a standard system, I would be happy to know it.

If you have anti-theft deterrent system, it may be necessary to disconnect the fuse for the radio to program more than one remote to your vehicle. My 04 had anti-theft and 1,2 position.

Bruce, If I were wiring it up an did not want it to come on during the day you could do a couple things. 1. Switch to a standard motion sensor used on fixtures such as those over residential garage doors they are motion only when dark and run less than $20. 2. If you do need this style of motion sensor for your application put a photo cell in series before the sensor and fixture so the motion sensor and fixture only get power to operate when dark that fix could be done for about $15. Hope that helps. Have a good day.

You have to use the remote to open and close. Let say u left it open when u shut off your car last night , when u start the car this morning it remains open

Put the key in the ignition turn it on and off 8 times your doors will automatically lock letting you know it's it programming mode. Within 20 seconds you have to hit the lock button on each remote you are programming. This has to be done with all remotes at the same time, including existing ones.

You cannot turn this device off remotely. And it is not capable of differentiating between your motion and motion you want it to alert you to. I say, "Tiny, be quiet!" and walk over and tap the top which silences the unit for a couple minutes. An alternative would be to find a way to put a sheet of glass between you and the device - my unit doesn't seem to sense through glass - but then anything else on the other side of the glass would not be sensed either.

You can lock the door from outside with a key. I leave the inside on lock mode all the time, that way I now the door is locked.

I don't think you can. The alarm has an anti theft feature that will not let the vehicle start if the Alarm is engaged. If the remote won't work then try programming then again.

This unit is designed for use in protected areas out of the weather such as inside a garage. No security provisions are provided. Aside from that, this unit is very easy to program and operate.

Turn your key on and off until your door locks go on and off (don't start your car) then push the lock key on the remote key fob and you should be good to go.

You would use the included wall switch. If there is no entry to your garage except for the garage door, then you should buy an external key pad add on to ensure you have access even without a remote.

Yes and no. The yes part has to do with a built in "hold button" that overrides the night auto-close function but the "no" part is that when it starts getting dark the unit will override the "hold" button and close the garage door anyway. Note: If you have a need to override that also (if it's getting dark-ish) and you STILL want to keep the garage door open ANYWAY, simply switch off the power using the built-in on-off switch and that will totally disable the unit - you can keep the door open as long as you like. I've had mine for several years now and it works great. Hint: When installing the unit, put it in a place where it can easily "see" the outside light levels. If you bury it deep inside your garage, it will "think" its dark all the time or that sundown is coming much sooner than is appropriate. Hope that helps ya..

Yup... that's how you program ALL remotes regardless if there are any existing remotes... you enter the program menu on the main garage unit, press the button on the remote, the main garage unit learns the new code from the remote...

The alarm key fob/remote control that you installed in the vehicle push the unlock button and it will shut it off. now, ig you are arming the alarm with the new key fob/remote and then using your key or orginal remote/to get in car the alarm will keep going off because that is not made to shut the new alarm off. You need to use that new remote only.....

Yes that's a safety feature on most newer cars so you can't lock your keys in the car the remote start only knows the cars running so it won't lock the doors.

I purchased two remote units, and have installed one. The one remote does not work well even after I put an extension on the antenna wire. Opening from the vehicle inside the garage is fine, but you have to drive within inches of the door, then remove the remote from the visor and try and try to get the door to open. I changed the remote battery with little to no improvement. This unit would not be high on my list to purchase in the future. Sorry to be negative, but I'm being honest. Yes, there are three buttons on the remote, and with the one unit connected all three buttons will open the one door-why I'm not sure!!! I purchased two remote units, and have installed one.

I use auto. Might as well let it figure when it needs power. No sense leaving it on 24/7.
