ALEKO LM137 Universal Gate Garage Door Opener Remote Control With Transmitter HomeLink Compatible

Outstanding! My wife's 2020 Gladiator could trigger the new ghost control gate opener, but the homelink in my older Escalade didn't have the right frequency. Incredibly simple to wire in and now my old truck can work the gate. Absolute gem of a unit.

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.

This worked perfectly for my application. Currently Tesla Model 3's do not support Sommer Direct Drive garage doors that operate at 310Mhz. I was able to install this and program my Model 3's Homelink system to operate it perfectly. On the circuit board, the inputs labeled "A" actually ended up being the "B" button on the remote, but that didn't matter. I powered it from the 24VDC output from my Sommer Garage door opener on pins 1 & 2. The range isn't great, but the range on my Sommer remotes isn't either so I can't complain there. I am concerned that since it doesn't seem to use a rolling code, that the signal isn't as secure, but that isn't a deal breaker for me. I am very happy with the application, ease of install, function and price.

The receiver works great with the included keyFOB and has a long range. But when programmed with my Homelink button in my car with range was only but 10ft. Will be returning.

It's been well over 3 years and still working great, I even bought an extra.

Does NOT work with older genie units. I tested the wall switch to see if the proper voltage was available for this universal control and found that there was insufficient voltage, so I proceeded to use a 12v wall wart to power it. First issue was getting it to work via the "A" button on the remote. Never did, but it would work for a short time on the "B" button regardless of which terminals were used on the board. And speaking of that, the board and connectors on it have been redesigned, but the instructions have not. After finally getting the control to work with the door a few times, it abruptly quit when the power from the Genie opener simply stopped sending power to the original wall switch. Tried this, tried that, tried the other thing, and then finally simply disconnected the new control and waited for a few minutes till the Genie opener finally reset itself and the original door control began working again. There appears to be some kind of a voltage conflict that makes the Aleko control incompatible with my old Genie unit. Oh, and before I forget, during the brief time that the Aleko was operating the door, I attempted to synch it with the Homeminder control on the rearview mirror of my vehicle. No luck there either, and I suspect that it's because the Aleko is actually not Homeminder compliant as claimed..

I have an older Genie garage door opener that was installed just before HomeLink became the new standard. As many do, we have upgraded our cars over this period of time, all of which came with the newer HomeLink remote control buttons. Being an electronic engineer, the concept of deploying a HomeLink conversion kit was intuitive. So I ordered the Aleko LM137 and installed it. My Genie did not have an voltages present on the outside of the door opener, so I dug up a 12V power supply and used it.... no big deal. However, this is where my problems began. Using the supplied FOB, the door opened and closed just great. In fact, distance with it did not seem to be a problem as has been described by others. Programming an unused HomeLink button in my car was straightforward. Learn the supplied FOB remote into an unused HomeLink button on the car, then learn the car into the Aleko. First time, it worked. I could push the button in the car and the door opened and closed. Great, I'm done! I told the wife she could use the button in her car from now on. Next day, she came to me and said the button wasn't working and wouldn't you know it, she came home in a driving rain storm. I thought she must be doing something wrong, so after the rain storm, I went to her car and pushed and held the button for one second, but the garage door did not open. I programmed it again. Again, it worked after I programmed it. Next day, it didn't work again. Tried the same think in my car (different brand).... same thing. I've read and re-read the programming instructions over and over and can not figure this out. I gave a rating of 3 stars only because it does work consistently with the supplied FOB and I allowed some fudge room for benefit of the doubt. But I bought this explicitly to be able to use our built in HomeLink buttons. If anyone has experienced this same issue and have come up with a solution, please leave a comment.

I installed the unit and only one of the two channels worked (I only found out as I tested both even though I only needed the one at this time), not sure if it was a transmitter button, or the relay on the receiver side....but it made no difference; I requested a replacement and without even "did you try this" they told me to keep the one I have and less than a week later the replacement showed up.

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. Update Dec.31 2024 Working fine! Also I leave the supplied remote button in the house; it saves a walk through the garage passage door when going out and about. My range was not great (real far is not a good plan either) so I extended the coiled antenna wire as it should be. My only gripe is that the plastic case on the receiver falls off after I slam the garage door a few times. It may be gone forever.

Great range but can’t learn signal from other controls. It does work with the built in Ford buttons on the car.

Amount of remotes limited

the response range is below 20 feet, it works when I stand just in front of gate.

Easy to use, works as expected.
