Anyone tried out the Homelink feature yet? I just did and it worked great. I was able to program both my new and older (10 yrs.?) automatic garage door openers to open via the Pilot Homelink buttons. No more fumbling for the remote - love it!

Re: Homelink works great!

FYI, Sears is also listed (in the FAQ section) as a lighting supplier.

Further info relative to using Homelink for the remote security lighting function:

(from Homelink customer service):
Thank you for visiting our HomeLink website and for your inquiry. If you would like to receive a HomeLink information packet, please respond with a mailing address or call our HomeLink toll free number at 1-800-355-3515 M-F 6am-7pm and S&S 7am-5pm MST.

The HomeLink Lighting Package costs $59.99 and includes the following modules:

1 - Vehicle interface (#SP891)
This module acts as the "liaison" between HomeLink and interior lamps equipped with a "lamp module". You cannot activate any lamps with HomeLink without this module.

1 - Home Controller (#MC460)
This module allows activation of lamps equipped with a lamp module - from within the home.

1 - Plug-in lamp module (#LM465)
Plug a lamp into this module and then plug the module into an outlet - enabling you to activate this lamp with HomeLink. Additional lamp modules are available separately or at RadioShack (part #61-2682).

Other non-HomeLink branded lighting components are available through Sears, RadioShack and other retail outlets nation-wide. You may call the HomeLink toll free number referenced above with additional questions or feel free to email me back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FYI, if you buy the three components separately from Homelink, the Vehicle Interface is $45 and the other two parts are $12.00 each. I was hoping that the existing Pilot Homelink system would eliminate the need for the more-expensive Vehicle Interface part, but that is not the case. BTW, the "Plug-In Lamp Module" is listed at $32 on the RadioShack web site, a rather large pricing disparity.

dburch, you might want to contact them via the Homelink support email link. I used this (link on website) to ask them a follow-up question and they gave me a prompt and detailed reply.

I have a genie garage door opener with a rolling code system. I have tried 4-5 times following the training instructions for rolling code -still does not work! I went to the homelink site hoping for more product specific info but nothing there. It may just be easier to use my old remote.
