I have a Genie-Pro CM 6800, garage door opener. I would like however,
to alter it to have the garage lights come on when the safety sensors are tripped. I would hope to accomplish this without replacing the system. Is there a simple and inexpensive solution? Thanks Frank |

Thanks Frank How about just a motion-sensing switch to replace the regular switch for these lights? That's what I have. |

I think the motion detector on the garage lights will serve my purpose, Yes you would think that having this feature on the cheapest door opener would be a standard. I guess they needed to save 50 cents. Thanks again and a great site too! |

Is there a simple and inexpensive solution? Thanks Shouldn't it have that feature? I know even the cheapy Craftsmans have it. I has the feature when you initially open and close. After a few minutes when left open the light goes out. I would like to have it come on when the sensor is tripped. This is helpful for me in the evening and when working outside. My previous home I installed a chamberlain which had this feature as well. Thanks |

easiest to install a seperate light beam sensor and lamp.
door opening would likely trip it and anyone walking thru sensor would too. cheaper than a new opener or modifying it. |

I'm guessing he wants the light to come on when someone breaks the safety beam when the door has been standing open, like at night. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |
