1) You to know the maker of the opener.<br>
2) You to hit a button on the motor of the opener for the "smart learn". (Or use dip switches based on maker.)<br>

You can see details on how to program at this link:<br>

I'm tempted to think the motor button would send the same signal as an existing remote but could never find anything that positively states that.<br>
<br>
My question to the list was not asking for others to Google for me as I'd already done a fair amount of that 2 nights ago. I was asking if anyone has actually used one that they programmed by pointing an existing remote at it.<br>
