ALEKO5LM123 Remote Control for Gate Opener Remote Transmitter, Lot of 5

Easy install and great price compared to other Homelink compatible bridges

Use your own wire to the existing terminals pic 1, use your own 12volt DC power supply (cut off for two leads) pic 2, mount everything pic 3, plug it in and it works! Use the remote control supplied to link(HomeLink) your modern cars, we have a Buick and a Tesla. Took longer to write this review than install it. Great device!

This device is fantastic and is exactly what I was looking for. It let me convert my 30 year old craftsman workhorse of a garage door opener with missing remotes into a Homelink capable, remote-available garage door opener. Some basic DIY wiring knowledge is required. Though the remote is a little rinky-dink, it has a range of over 30 yards and I basically only needed it to program the homelink in my 2005 vehicle. I was about to buy a more expensive product but this got it done at a fraction of the price. Also, for the power supply I used an old 12 V converter that was for a printer or a phone or something. Thrilled.

I bought this widget to add remote control to one of the garage doors in my new house. The Craftsman door opener looks prehistoric, and does not have a remote. Installation was easy enough. I was able to find 26V DC power on the opener, so no external power source was required. The provided keychain remote worked well, and I proceeded to connect to the HomeLink transmitter in my car. This is where things took a bizarre turn.The transmitter seemingly learned the signal, and operated the door. I closed the cover on the LM137 and tried again... and it did not work. At the same time, the keychain remote was working fine. I tried the procedure for the "rolling" codes -- no change. Tried the "learn" button on the LM137 -- no change. When I was about to uninstall the entire thing and initiate the return, I pressed the HomeLink transmitter button for the last time -- and it worked! Closed the cover on the LM137 -- and it did not work. Opened the cover -- and it worked again. And it kept working.So there you have it. The HomeLink only works with the cover off, while the keychain remote does not care. I don't know why, but I'll take it.

I needed some extra remotes for my gate motor. It is not an ALEKO branded motor, but it is exactly the same motor and control board (ALEKO does not actually build this stuff, nor do any of the other retailers who resell it. They all just have their label slapped on the same gate motor assembly, mark it way up and resell it). Vendor wanted $75 a piece for remotes! It did include home delivery and programming, but still steep vs $13 for 2 plus $3.75 to ship to Panama (not via Amazon but by a freight forwarding service). So, I ordered these instead. They are exactly the same as my original remotes. Programming the controller is quick and easy (just a button press on the control board and follow the instructions provided).Happy Camper!Note: I live in Panama and my gate vendor is "KAME" (not cheap, but excellent service!....which is hard to find in Panama), but the hardware is still all the same.

GOOD WITH ALEKO GATE OPENER

Great remote

I cannot get any of the 4 remotes I purchased to program on any of the 4 buttons. They light the light on the unit when a button is pushed, however, the gate opener will not go into final "learn" lock when programing. I assume that, though they are the correct 433.92MHz Frequency, they likely do not support the RF Rolling Code technology or do not support it very well anyway...Also, I opened one up to check the battery and/or for possible DIP switches, and talk about a nightmare to reassemble! You take the two screws out and the font and back basically come apart leaving you with 11 separate pieces (front, metal frame, back, 4 seperate buttons, a rubber button pad, 2 small screws, & the IC card) you must try to hold 7 of which in the correct position on one side of the heavy metal frame while you put the back on with the 2 screws.... Talk about fun....The Remotes are attractive and good quality with a heavy metal frame, if it would work, I would have probably dealt with the battery replacement nightmare....

The fobs work great but I'm not sure why they had to double in price the last year!Roch

The Aleko LM317 is an excellent replacement for my 1970 Sears garage door opener receiver. The button fob transferred codes to both my 2000 Acura and 2014 Ram no problem. The range with the antenna still coiled and the Aleko on the wall opposite to the big door is about 10 metres, why do you need more? (dangerous?). Yes you need to supply 12 to 24 VDC - any small 12V adapter will do just strip the wires and observe polarity (use a meter?). The connections are clear on both the unit and manual. There are 2 SPDT relay outputs, one for each channel. They activate as long as you hold the button. You will normally need the normally open contact (Terminals 1&2, polarity irrelevant). I have channel 2 on a beeper, plan to hook it to a relay to trigger the outside flood lights. Reviews about poor instructions or difficult install must be for a different version or for those unfamiliar with this sort of thing. I suggest installing an inside on-off toggle switch to prevent garage entry if a vehicle is left outside. I wish I had put this in years ago to replace my single clunky old transmitter. Hope it lasts another 50 years, har.

The product arrived

No solo funciona con ALEKO, lo programe con un SEG y funciona muy bien. Llegó a tiempo y la programación es muy fácil. Se sienten de buen material, son pesados. Pero la verdad por el. Precio es un buen producto. Si falla otro de mis controles lo volveré a comprar.

Product came as described and very quick
