You can NOT use a lighted pushbutton for a garage door opener. It will
NOT work.
Well, I have a Genie garagedoor opener system, and next to the door is a
nice lighted button that does exactly what it is supposed to do. The light
is green, if that means anything, and the wire looks like something low-
voltage. Looking up a manual for Genie openers it says in big letters:
NOTE: Additional wall controls are available from
your dealer. ONLY ONE OF YOUR WALL
CONTROLS MAY BE THE LIGHTED TYPE. If you
have a lighted wall control, all your additional
controls must be un-lighted. More than one
lighted wall control per operator will cause
a malfunction.
And THAT lighted wall control is designed to work with THAT Genie
door controller. A lighted button that draws more power than the
specified Genie button will not work - and that Genie button may draw
too much power for a non-genie or different Genie controller.
