I got 3 of these for everyone in the family but I have found out it only works with 1 remote at a time. Have to keep resetting them, and whoever uses it last gets to open the garage door. Is there a way to bypass this issue and have all 3 remotes work on the garage door ? If not I am returning them.

Not sure? But after programming my new opener my old one still works . I find I have to click 2 or 3 times to open

I didn't have that problem. Are you using the same remote for all 5 on the circuit? And are you using the same power source for them? That is my only suggestion. Sorry I couldn't help!

The three buttons are for opening multiple doors. If you only want to open one door like I do , then the one button remote works great. Why spend the extra money for buttons that you don't need.

How old is your garage door opener? I had that same problem and found out that my older garage door opener (15+ years old) only allowed 2 clicker types units to be programed/used at a time. This means when I added the keypad clicker, it bumped off one of my remotes from working. Sounds to me like this is what is happening to you. I am sure the newer units don't have this problem

I'm sorry I use my daily and need my one remote they should've sent one with your purchase! I'd contact the company! Sorry I can't be more of assistance but I am not the seller I was only a buyer for myself and my mother!

I brought two set that each has two remotes and 3 switches. The remotes only have 4 buttons. So it will work only for the 4 buttons. If you have six switches, the extra 2 switches will need to syn with one of the 4 buttons.It sort of makes the extra switches useless you order a 6 button remote.

Do you just have the two remotes? There are two functions of the learn button. One is "learn" the other is "forget all remotes" Try programming the keypad last and see if the remote no longer works. You should be able to get the opener to remember many remotes. Also check online for a big comparability chart Some don't work well with others

You should be able to put all three on one remote. I used the center button for the door we use the most & the plus & minus buttons for the other two doors. Just make sure you use the same codes for the different buttons. I replaced existing remotes with these & pulled the codes from the old one that had broken. If you got three separate ones to work, then you should not have an issue transferring them to the other buttons.

i am having the same issue, i have two remotes. One of them is in my car and it works down the block but this one i have to stand RIGHT NEXT to the garage door. very annoying and not worth it.

Yes, you can assign buttons for each door on each remote you receive. I got 4 remotes and 2 keypads with purchase of two openers. First I erased all memory factory settings on each opener, then linked all 4 remotes (button 1) on opener 1, then repeated same for door 2 for button 2 on each remote. Each keypad operates one door only, so you have to have 2 keypads outside.

There is a reset button on the opener that kills all programmed remotes. You need to do this right away if your remote was stolen. After resetting it you will have to re-sync all remote openers to your unit, (keypad, key fob, visor unit, etc.). You don't need to buy this key fob to cancel all the remotes you have programmed into your opener. Merely reset the opener. However if your key fob was stolen you undoubtedly will need a new one and I would recommend this one. The only problem I have had with it sometimes in my pocket when at home it can open randomly. Too much stuff in my pocket! You should find instruction for your model opener here: http://www.geniecompany.com/

I had no trouble with programing garage doors but cannot get it to do our property gate. I had no trouble with wiping out other controllers but mine is a rolling system and it should not. Were they all set to open this gate. I plan to use google to look into the problem when I get back to ohio...

Funny, but I accidently programmed the top button on two of these to the same door. Went to correct the error and mate one of the remotes to the other door, via "reset" operation then mate to other door. It mated to that door but still does other door too. So to be clear, one button, does both doors, at same time, which is not what I want. Can not undo this either.....

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.

Read any ONE of the SEVEN one star reviews for this product, for a detailed explanation of the many KNOWN issues this opener has. If you had it installed (and it's still under warranty), see if you can get it replaced with another brand. That is what I did (with a very reliable Chamberlain). Genie continues to sell this model despite the "known" circuit board issue that so many have had problems with . . . . Good luck.

Sorry but I can't answer this one. My problem was that remotes would not open the door from outside. I had to be inside garage about 4 feet from opener for it to work. I thought I was having remote controller problems but it actually was the main circuit board. Bought a new circuit board from Amazon and problem was solved.

The device can control multiple doors ONLY if the all of the door openers are programmed identically. This would mean that when activated all of the doors programmed identically would open simultaneously. This does not sound very practical for most situations.
