I followed the manufacturer's instructions. I pressed the learn button on side of garage door opener. I pressed the ladybug remote button. I waited and the door would not respond to me pushing the button. I tried several times. Not sure why it's not...

Double check the instructions for your garage again. I've bought like 5 of these things and they all send out the signal reliably. Why not just set the dipswitches manually to whatever code you have?

We just recently had a new garage door installed. They installed a craftsman opener. When I was looking for a spare remote I read that this one works with craftsman opener so I took the chance and ordered it. This remote worked for me with my new opener. Good Luck!

Check your garage door opener instructions, each unit might be a little different. I do not remember pushing the grey remote button more than once. I think I had to push the learn button on the garage door opener a second time.

On the side panel of the door opener, push and hold the learn button until the light flashes on the unit. While the lights are flashing push and hold the button on the new remote until the garage door opener starts to operate. I hope this helps.

I am having the same problem. The remote died about two weeks after we set the system up. I thought I was incompetent with the learning mode because I could not get it to work. I guess we are lucky that the buttons work.

Supposedly if you can learn it into your zwave network, it should be able to control a garage door by sending a quick on then off again signal. I am 0 for 2 getting mine to actually control the door. One blew out as soon as I applied 120v, the other one seems to work and I can hear the relay click, but nothing happens.

NOTE: Newer openers with wall unit using more than one button (light, opener, lock, etc.) and only two wire output use a coded signal and not NO/NC contact to work the garage door. Thus, we modified the wall unit to connect the magic closer to the NO/NC contact point to operate the garage door to open and close. Factory had also performed this modification on a wireless remote unit of some kind to get to work also. I haven't tried using it with Craftsman. Only worked with Genie opener after modifications were made. Contact the factory Magiccloser.com they are very helpful. Ron

I really can't answer your question since our garage door opener is 8 yrs old and I don't know the model. My opener works well and I have 2 of them for both of my cars. Did you follow directions for the fob to learn the opener code? This is a simple step but an essential one.

What I can tell you is that when I press the button to turn on stuff connected to it my garage doors don't go up and the lights in my living room and bedroom that operate by remote don't turn on. It all depends of signal frequency. At one time a neighbor of mine had a garage door opener that would also operate my door. I forget now how we resolved it, but I do know we solved it somehow.

If all 3 of these are true, I would consider changing the receiver logic board:(1) The hardwired button in the garage operates the door opener correctly.(2) Neither the remote in the car, nor the remote on the outside of the garage work.(3) The remote in the car has been re-programmed (again) to match the opener - but it still doesn't work.I think the receiver board is sometimes damaged by nearby lightning strikes.Actually, I purchased a new remote for the car first and tried that. However, when that didn't work, I bought the receiver board.... I read this entire review and it's right on the money, you need a new logic board which is easy to install with the intructions you receive with it.

I found the buttons on the remote somewhat difficult to press and get a response. Also, you must get close and be absolutely direct, straight on, in pointing it. If it still doesn't work, contact the company. They have very good support and if they can't help you, will most certainly replace it.

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.

It works with the button on the garage door opener motor.You have to press the button on the motor and then press the button on the remote that you want to work for that motor. There are three buttons on the remote, so you could operate up to three different garage doors.For more details read the instructions posted on the motor itself -- which may be on the inside of the button access cover.

When you press the button on the Garage Door Opener, make sure it is a quick jab. DO NOT HOLD AT ALL. If you do, you'll clear the old code. Not a problem if this is your only remote, but if you are trying to get multiple vehicles working, this can be maddening.

Look at your learn button on the lift unit inside tha garage itself. The color should be red or orange for it to work.If it is green then that is an older unit that does not code change and squires the older remote.

Is your garage door opener one of the listed ones and does it have an orange button on the back. Did your old one no linger work? I have a raynor navigator bought in 1998. There are tests you can run which will insure it is not the garage door opener at fault. Have you tried any of these? It turned out my garage door opener had a bad circuit board, I replaced it before ordering the remote. The board is simple to replace as the whole rear of the unit is sold as one piece. No soldering, just a simple connector is all that is needed. The remote then worked fine.

If your garage door opener has a "learn button" make sure to hold in in for a few seconds before releasing it. When the LED light next to the learn button lights then press and hold the remote button for a second or two. The LED light next to the learn button will flash and then will go off. The transmitter should the be programmed. I stood on a ladder next to the opener when programming for convenience. Check for battery weakness if problems persist. If your learn button is not green you may have an incompatible device.
