Worked like a charm for an old garage door
This worked like a charm! I have an old garage door unit that doesn’t pair with anything. This was very easy to use and synced up with the appropriate remote. Highly recommend for anyone who can’t get anything else to work

Great Concept, but...
I love the concept, but having now used these for over a decade, I can now say that they fail relatively often, and the range is just awful. I have mine mounted right by the door that faces the driveway, and it still struggles to manage more than 10 feet of range. I usually have to remove the remote from the door pocket and hold it up to the windshield in order to make it work. And I've now had six of these, so I can confirm that it's more than one sample.Still, it is super-handy to be able to control multiple openers from a single remote, and it works better while walking than it does inside a vehicle.

The unit works as it should.
The unit works as it should. My only problem is that this is a replacement for an identical unit that failed after about 1 year. We have had some electrical storms and that may be a factor. Other devices in our house were also affected.

Had issues initially, but works in the end
I bought this to replace the original button box that came with the kit. The first unit had a flaky connection, once I installed it the door would activate randomly. When I replaced the first unit with the second one (this purchase), the problem went away. When you install be careful about stressing the wire that connects to the door opener switch, it has no strain relief inside the box and on the flaky unit I think there was a loose connection. Also, my opener required the additional power supply. So overall I had some installation issues, but now it is working perfectly with both a wireless keypad and a key fob. So satisfied in the end.

Life Is So Much Easier
I was looking for a system where I would be able to not only open my garage door but turn on my front porch lights as well as my front entrance lights inside of my home. There are nights I work very late and my wife comes home around 7pm. In the winter time it is usually very dark. There have been a few intrusions in my neighbourhood and it had her a little on edge about coming home late to a dark house. I did some research on Amazon and discovered these Skylink products. I purchased this, along with the TC-318-7 transmitter, the LS-318 screw-in dimmer receiver and the ID-318 motion sensor transmitter. Now, my wife is able to turn on all of the lights and open the garage door before getting out of her car. Being able to walk into a well lit home has eased her nerves. It has granted us a sense of safety and security, especially during what seems to be like "Home Invasion" season in our neighbourhood. I intend on purchasing more receivers to control more lighting throughout the house. I will eventually have all the lights on our main and upper floor controlled by this one remote. The installation was simple, something I can do without being much of a handy man myself. I would Definitely recommend this product to others!

Works as described
I like it because it was a economical alternative to buying a new opener as my Craftsman works fine just all the remotes quit and it has a problem on the circuit board

STICKY BUTTON
Ordered this receiver to replace older one because after thousands of cycles button was starting to stick .Replacement unit easy to install but after about 10 pushes of the button it began to stick .A shot of WD40 helped for a few cycles but button continued to stick.Contacted seller and received reply that unless button was pushed straight on, and not at an angle , that it would stick .Sticks at any angle . Takes several punches with the finger to actuate .Should have kept the old one .

Works like a charm (inconsistently) - And was easy to install
This unit installed in minutes, and worked just like the product description states. So why the 3 stars? Well, after I installed it, it took a little while ( a few minutes) before it would respond to my remote. Sometimes, it doesn't respond to the remote at all, unless you put the remote in very close. I wold place the blame on the remote, except for one day where my garage door was opening and closing by itself repeatedly - WITHOUT the use of the remote. My garage door never did this until I installed this little unit. So it was definitely the unit. Perhaps it was picking up a signal from another device somewhere - but that means that to had no problem picking up signals from a LONG distance, and yet has trouble with my own remote which was made specifically for this kind of unit.So there you have it. It works, but inconsistently, and it might short out (or something) and cause your door to open and shut by itself once in a while. THREE STARS.

Just what I needed
This is just what I needed to allow me to use the universal remote I had purchased two years previously. It hooked up easily and was operable in maybe 5 minutes. I have now used it for weeks and works every time. Glad I could go this route as opposed to having to buy another universal remote. I can now move this around in future if I need to.

Amazing product!!
Extremely easy to install, the one clip tool is very useful. Worked almost immediately. Great purchase, linked it with IFTTT to remotely open/close my garage door. Need to have the skylink system (got mine from Costco) for this to work.

This unit does work, but.....
This unit was very easy to install and program, however the range is very poor.I mounted it next to motor instead of at wall switch (that switch was in wall and I did not want this sticking out). It does link up with the remotes, but only activated (opened door) when I was right in front of my garage door. No value from inside my vehicle.

Great option to add extra remotes to your garage door opener.
My garage door remote stopped working due to antenna failure. I had installed a hardwire closet by the door itself. Hooked this into the hard wire line and bought the relatively cheap compatible remote and it all works great! Can also be used to add extra remotes to your garage door opener system.
