Even if your exact model isn’t referenced on this page, GarageMate will work as a remote control for most residential Chamberlain/Liftmaster garage door openers. You simply connect the GarageMate wires in parallel to your wall switch. GarageMate will work fine even if you reverse the wires. We color code the wires simply for convention but they are electrically equivalent. We have many customers that own a LiftMaster/Chamberlain garage door opener as the vast majority are compatible with GarageMate. But some models made after 2011 are not. Newer Liftmaster/Chamberlain models have the manufacturing date clearly printed on the garage door opener. If it is manufactured in 2011 or later (or if you are uncertain of the manufacture date), you can determine compatibility by the color of the "learn" button near the wiring terminals. If it is yellow it is NOT compatible. But if it is any other color like red, blue, purple, etc, it is compatible. See the photo below. Some Incompatible Chamberlain/Liftmaster ModelsChamberlain HD220,and 45DCBR5 are not compatible with aftermarket accessories like GarageMate. Liftmaster 41D767, and 8075 are not compatible with aftermarket accessories like GarageMate. Chamberlain/Liftmaster Wiring DiagramsKeep in mind the vast majority of Chamberlain/Liftmaster were made prior to 2011 and will be compatible with GarageMate. See the wiring diagrams below. We have marked the images below with a red and white arrow that indicate where to wire GarageMate"s RED and WHITE wires.

Questions? e-mail How do you wire a Chamberlain garage door opener sensor?Strip 7/16-inch of insulation from each solid-white and white-with-black-stripe wire on both sensors. Twist together the two white-with-black-stripe wires from both sensors. Twist together the two solid-white wires from both sensors. Connect the two white-with-black-stripe wires to screw terminal 3 on the motor unit.
How do you test a garage door sensor wiring?To test your garage door sensor, you will need a common everyday object like a cardboard box. Place the box in the line of the sensors and try to close the garage door. If the door reverses after sensing an obstruction, your door is functioning correctly.
How do you bypass the Chamberlain garage door sensors?So, all you need to do is hold the wall button down ( do not press and release). You must hold the wall button all the way down until the garage door hits the floor then release. If you let go of the button before the door hits the ground the sensors will kick back in to action and the door will reverse.
