Is there some central server in the loop between the garage door opener and the phone? I'm paranoid about essentially giving away the key to my Home.

Yes, the connection is over the internet, not directly to wifi, so the commands to open/close come from the servers at chamberlain.com

I don't know as mine has never worked properly. And as of yesterday, I can't even get the key in the lock.

If you have the code you do not need the keys. The keys are if the battery has gone dead. If that has happened I do not know what you do....so sorry!

Not practical. You'd have to have an opener that worked by having 12VDC applied across a set of contacts (not likely). You'd have to toggle the ON , then OFF every time you wanted to open or close the door since the RC switch stays on or off depending on the last command it got. You'd also have to have a 12VDC source to power the receiver. Finally, I bought 2 of these switches and the same remote works either one of them, so there is no security. Hard to beat a garage door opener with a remote for opening a garage dooor.

Wish I could help Mandy, but I had the same question. I didn't need it and my key works fine. David

(silly question), but did u get the transponder key cut at an authorized dealer for Toyota. I know it sounds silly, but thats how these newer cars work, without a properly set up transponder key, no access will be available. (seems silly I know) but the key should open the door, but this is for more so-called security and to cut down on theft. I would double check where u got your key cut at and if they inputted the chip to make it work properly. If not have them do it over and have them check that it is working .Hope this helps..Peace / Love

I followed the instruction booklet. I don't have access to them right now as I ordered it for my parents. I don't recall anything about a Random access code. Their phones are up and running with no issues.

I never tried it from a distance. If you make any changes on your router you have to resync the system with your phone. I would get a digital key that opens the garage for your maid.

We have two key pads. One for in and one for out plus remotes for each of our cars. There is a sensor available but it is very expensive and in my opinion less secure cause someone could jump our gate and manually trip the sensor opening the gate.

Maybe this reading might help a little, http://www.garagerepairutah.com/garage-door-opener-open-close-problems/ Door openers know their state, and it's not based on the eye sensors or anything like that. When you click the button on your remote, the entire assembly knows if it needs to open, or to close, or if it is in the middle of one of the operations. I can assure you from hundreds of customers using this specific button that is internet connected, their phones know quite positively the status of the door. It updates and even shows confirmation once it is in that other state. If you're on the fence about getting it because you just don't understand how it works, go ahead and get it and let it surprise you!

This itme is just a Empty key shell with uncut blade, you need to cut it in your local locksmith, take the internal electronics (include immobilizer/transponder chip) from original remote and place them to our key shell, then it is OK! There's no programming needed

I have been able to let builders in to the house if I have been called away. I monitor what is happening through the cameras.Hope this helps.

That's the problem. It needs to be programmed but I managed to get it done at Lowe's. They have the ability to make copies of keys w/ chips so I asked the guy if he can clone my working key to this blank no charge. I told him the key lost its programming. I got if cut elsewhere for $2.before bringing it to Lowe's

I have been unable to identify the type of encryption. We have installed both the standalone sensor for a genie garage door opener as well as the Internet Gateway for a Chamberlain garage door opener. Both work flawlessly with our android devices. I would assume that the security would depend on the level of security set at your router level, since they communicate via WiFi. Great product. We highly recommend this product.

Yes. I purchased this for my wife, since her work car doesn't have the homelink. It was very easy to set up and works great. And she doesn't misplace it, unless she misplaces her keys. HMMMM!

This unit only holds one code. I am guessing that what is tripping you up is that for about 20 seconds any key press will activate the garage door number. See vendor site for instructions and Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ) http://www.dominoengineering.com/residential.asp Reprogramming should change the code.
