 Works Well, Easy to Use April 2, 2007

The only ding I'll give this controller is simple - it doesn't light up when you open the cover. This means you have to randomly hit a button to turn the lights on in the dark, then start over with your code. Otherwise, it works great.

Since there is no compatibility chart (that i can find) on this page, I chanced it and bought the unit assuming my garage door opener was a pre-2003 model... however when i got the unit, it went into detail about each brand of garage door opener it is compatible with, and it was only compatible with my brand up until 1997! This would have been useful to know. So i called customer service (i'm not allowed to give the number here, but i bet if you searched on skylink you'd find a number) and they told me about a universal adapter that will make it work with any garage door opener of any year... that was about $25, so everything is working now, and that's why i gave it three stars, but you should call skylink customer service before buying this unit, just to make sure it handles your garage door opener.

My garage has two Overhead Door models, one newer and one older. This unit failed on both. Perhaps I should have followed the other reviewer's advice and looked elsewhere. Be cautious. I'm sure this model works on some model garage doors, but who knows which ones.
Not as universal as it pretends to be July 16, 2004

Much to my surpise after glowing reviews from others, this unit would only open my garage door about four inches. It won't close it at all.
I have a Liftmaster Security Plus garage door opener built in 1999 or 2000. That's clearly within the advertised parameters.
The customer support desk hours are only 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday (exactly when I need to be at work, not standing in my garage debugging something like this), so I checked the manufacturer's website at www.skylinkhome.com.
I found this chilling remark in the FAQ for the model 89 (that is what you're considering here - A Skylink Model 89):
"If your Chamberlain®/LiftMaster®/Sears® Garage Door Opener has the 'Learn' button and happened to close and then open for few inches. The model 39 and model 89 might not compatible to your existing garage door opener. Please contact our customer support for details at support@skylinkhome.com."
In other words, sorry, you're screwed. Enjoy trying to return your on-line purchase.
Of course, Skylink will be happy to sell you, for another $23 plus S&H, their model UR100A Universal Receiver. With benefit of this additional gadget, the model 89 universal transmitter actually becomes more universal. At least, 99.9% universal. The web site does say that it this combination "99.99% works with most brands of garage door openers".
Great, huh? Spend A LOT of time with their web site FAQ before buying. Universal? Not even close...

I am using this with a Genie Intellicode garage door opener. Originally I had the Genie keyless entry pad but it was not well designed: the cover would fall off and sometimes it didn't respond to my keypresses. I got this unit to replace it and it was very easy to program. It's sturdy, the cover is not going to fall off, and it beeps when the buttons are pressed so there's no question of missed keypresses.
