i only have access through the overhead door... if i lose power for any length of time ..will my remotes or keypad lose the connection?

If your power goes out, my guess would be that the door would have to be opened manually from the inside by pulling the emergency rope. I suggest you not use an electric opener if a power outage would keep you locked out.

The important thing is that the Power Drive will not have energy to operate regardless you having battery power in your remote control and/or keypad. The remotes should keep their setup, much in the same way you do not reprogram your remotes for TV/VCR after a power outage.

Yes, but you do have a manual release for the door so you can open and close it.

I had the same question, after installing the unit i turned off all power for 5 minutes then back on. Nothing changed, it did not lose its program when i did this. I hope this helps you. With all thing electric if there is no power nothing will work. My remote did not change nor did the push button. I did not install a key pad so i cant answer that part of the question.

You might try reprogramming your remote to your garage opener! We have not experienced locking out! It's worth a try! 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.

Sorry but the insteon garage module was only product I've purchased. I use the insteon app to operate it w the hub. Thus I don't have any experience w the keypad control

No. The battery pack only supplies emergency power to the actual garage door itself. When there's a power outage.

Yes. All your existing remotes and wireless keypad will work still. All you change out is the wired opener. This gives you the ability to program more if you want to the opener and makes it easier not having to reach the the actual unit on the ceiling.

That would sound logical. My remotes didn't work then I replaced the board then my remotes started to work again. The manual open button in my garage always worked though. Be sure to order the correct circuit card. Some cards like very similar.

send it back, we had to. I stopped working and locked us out of the office. Note the remote only works from the outside. it does not work from the inside.

Yes it works great on my overhead garage door. Best part if you have your car keys you have your garage door remote. Get a extra one as a back up just incase and keep it in a combination lockbox outside of your home. Incase you loose your keys one day.

your remote lights should activate as soon as power is interrupted they do NOT have to be directly connected ...as long as the batteries in the remote lights are serviceable

Best bet would be to Google the door and remote numbers and see what numbers come up. I've replaced at least two remotes through Amazon, one keypad and all of them when I held the learn button on the opener within 5 sec they were programmed.

You probably can, but I am not sure it is worth the hassle. My keypads generally last 3-4 years. I always just replace them without doing any other checks and have not had a problem. My connection box is over 10 years old (maybe older, it was here when I bought the house). Good luck.

John, I apologize that it took me so long to get back with you. If you do a search on the type of key that is comparable to the one you have then I am sure you shouldn't have a problem. Now as far as your alarm system, if you set it up yourself; I would think you wouldn't have a problem. But if it was something that was done by a company (as far as the installation and pairing with your key for remote access) then you may have to take it back to them for service. Just my opinion. I am not an expert. :)

The physical keys on the lock will always work regardless of Internet connection on the router. But it would not be able to remote unlock or send you notification etc.

I jusT plugged the remote into my outlets and didn't worry about them. They are strictly "on or off". I have had them for about 18 months and will never be without them. NOT EVER. I dont recall a power outage. But believe me. I love knowing that after dark I can turn on the lights inside my house while I sit in the security of my car out in the street! If the lights inside my house don't come on, I dial 911 while i drive away.

I don't have a keypad, but I did not have to reprogram my remotes. I really like the Chamberlin Internet Gateway. It works well and the alert feature is really nice. Be sure to plug directly into your router like the instructions say. I tried to connect mine through a switch and it wouldn't sync up. Hope this helps.

If the battery were to go dead I would just use my key to enter the house. My deadbolt and doorknob are set for the same key and there's a hide a key outside in case the regular knob gets locked by mistake.
