891LM

823LM Remote
Light Control

    

Today I learned a new trick:
you can set up any lights, such as those on the front of your garage, or lights inside the garage (any with a switch) to turn on using a remote control from your car. The Liftmaster 823LM is a remote control switch that works using the MyQ technology. You simply replace the switch (turn off the breaker before doing this) on the wall with the 823LM. Then you can program a compatible remote such as the 891LM or 893LM, to the remote wall switch, and voila, remote control lights. This is independent of any garage door opener, so you are not limited by that, at all! NOTE: you must use the LM remote, not the 893 MAX remote for this feature. Of course, if you have one or two garage doors with (new) yellow learn buttons, you can open those doors and turn on that light using the same 893LM remote, just using a separate button.


Then, if you have a (new)YELLOW learn button machine, you can do all sorts of amazing things, like program these lights to be controlled via the internet from your smart phone, tablet, or laptop from anywhere.

If you do not have one of these fancy new machines, you may still be able to avail yourselves of the new technology if you have any brand of garage door opener that has safety sensors. You would need to add some hardware, but it is do-able. Let me know if you have any questions about how to do that. I can answer your questions here or you can visit the great folks at Liftmaster-Store.com or call them at 888-880-8821. Imagine, high-tech garage door openers. Crazy, I know.
