I'm not really sure. The Garage Door Butler wires into the button. I do know there is a website for the Garage Door Butler, and they may be able to answer your questions. Good Luck!

I only can respond that I now have 2 buttons to close and open my garage door. My regular one and my garage butler. Hope this helps.

No, the opener will still not function due to the lack of light sensor. But you can buy replacements at Lowes on the cheap

I have no idea. I would think that contacting the garage door opener manufacturer or the remote manufacturer would be your best bet. My openers were new.

If your GDO has the terminals for a wall button this unit should work. The old Sears remotes will not work with the Genie unit, so if you need more than 1 remote you'll need to buy additional Genie remotes. More info is on the review I wrote for this back when I installed it.

Make sure the label that says "remove before lighting" has been removed. Keep the button held down for 5-10 seconds and you should be good

You can program the light or request someone to write the code. I had a good program that had a dazzle, push 3 sec and let go the button or if you held the button pass 4 sec placed it into a quick on off. The button does take a little pressure but I made a holder for my weapon and works well.

You can custom program the remote and what each button does. For instance, I programmed the far left for the light (on/off), didn't program the middle button, and the far right one I programmed for the garage door (open/close). You can use this setup or use separate buttons for door open/close.

I have had the same Genie screw drive unit opening my garage door for 22 years. Naturally the remote gave up some years ago. The answer is yes! The Liftmaster remote will work for you. You will have to reprogram the new remote to the same program that was in you old remote. I looked at a lot of remotes before buying my Liftmaster, and I have one in each vehicle.

Yes, your door uses dip-switches as the frequency security and so you will need to program this remote using the dip switches to match your current remote, or the opener itself.

Not sure but if your opener has the optical things that "sees" if something is in the way it likely will work. You hook the laser to the same wires as the safety optical beam wires.. I hope this helps.

Even though the Genie 1/2 H.P. model CM8600IC/A I have is different than yours, I think the first answer is correct. This remote worked perfectly, and it was easy to program. I ended up buying a 2nd one after confirming it worked.

I can't say for sure-you'll have to do a little more research on your unit. For example-my power (motor) hanging in the garage has a colored button-different colors require different remotes. Suggest you check out the color on yours and call the tech people at Liftmaster. They'll be happy to help.

I did not have an existing Genie to replace. This was a new install, so I had to drill a new hole . Sorry, this doesn't help you.

There is a smart learn button on the front of the Genie. Push the button in and release it and note the light begins flashing. Hold the Remote close and push the remote button, the door will open or close, depending on whether it was up or down when you started. You have 30 seconds to push the remote button, which is done while the smart button on the opener is flashing. Make sure you test all the existing remotes, sometimes they will need to be reset in the same fashion.

If you mean the circuit board in the Garage Door mechanism itself, the answer is no. This is merely a button that you push to open and close the garage door, with the added functionality to turn the light located on the motor on and off. It also allows you to "lock out" the functionality of the remote for additional security. You can actually replace this unit with a "doorbell" button if all you want to do is open and close the garage door.

No. You have to reuse your existing button or buy a new on. You're old button should work unless it is damaged.

Yes it can just hold the light button down and if dimmed already will make brighter. If bright will dim. I'm using regular bulbs with remote as well, no LED's.

Mine has a radio receiver on it, so look for that, but my garage door isn't a genie. I just followed the pattern that was on the receiver (flipped the same switches on the remote on the back panel)
