Other Genie Remote Controls of Note:

Genie has come along with technology as well as the next guy (meaning other garage door operator manufacturers), so they graduated from the DIPswitch technology to the "smart" button technology in the mid-90's. I have discussed the Genie Master remote earlier in my blog, but there are other remotes for Genie operators that deserve discussion as well.

Today, I am going to talk about some Genie alternate (or alternative) DIPswitch remotes to consider. First off, the Genie Master Remote is the only Genie brand remote that can be programmed to older Genie DIPswitch machines. Note that Genie gdo's older than the late 1980's use various frequencies that are not supported any longer, and are not available. Only the 390 Mhz (and 315 Mhz) frequencies are currently supported by Genie.

As an alternative, the Stinger model 390GED21V remote will program to Genie 12 DIPswitch machines ONLY. It will not work with the older Genie 9 DIPswitch machines, nor the Genie  9 DIPSwitch gate operators. On the plus side, it is inexpensive, easy to program and it has one button to open one door. It is also very reliable. The Firefly 390GED21V is the same remote in a keychain-size, which may be more convenient in some applications.

The other alternative is the Liftmaster 375UT remote. It will program to many different brands of operators including all the Genie DIPswitch operators that receive on 390 Mhz, but is a bit trickier to program, as I described earlier on a previous blog.

For any of these alternatives, you can shop at genie-remotes.net or call 888-519-2391 for assistance
