Description
Connect dry contact relays and aftermarket smart garage door controller to Security+ 2.0 LiftMaster, Chamberlain or Craftsman opener with yellow “learn” button.
Most of the garage door openers work with a wired doorbell-type buttons that momentarily connect the two wires. This makes it easy to interface them with the smart garage door controllers such as Garadget (see how it works). A small number of LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman openers use a proprietary communication protocol and do not support a simple button control. It is however still possible to control them externally by using a native remote as an adapter. This adapter utilizes a native LiftMaster 883LM wired wall controller (user manual).
Installation:
- Connect red and white wires to the corresponding terminals in the garage door opener. For reliable connection you may need to twist the wires from adapter with the existing wires from the wall console.
- Test the button on the adapter and ensure that it operates the door. The existing wall button should also continue to work.
- Connect two remaining speaker wires to Garadget’s blue terminal or other dry contact device. The polarity of this connection is not important.
- Use Garadget app or your dry contact device to test the remote commands.
Compatibility Note:
The wired controller connection on LiftMaster Elite Series 8500 is not Security+ 2.0 compatible and it does not require this adapter.

From an integrators standpoint, thanks to Liftmaster/Chamberlin locking down or not releasing an API this product is your go to solution. Works great!!

I have used like 4 of these already with Control4 Integration and works flawlessly. No dumpster fire driver that’s gonna break.
These are easy to install,inexpensive, solid and reliable. Also better then having to solder a wires to a button.

Came across this by accident and it was exactly what I needed. This is a great integration piece, Easy to install and has given me back my relay control of my garage door with the newer lift master motor. I will be using more of these in the future.

I’ve used this in multiple scenarios. Hard wired to Control4 and ELAN, as well as on a ZIO from Control4. These have been flawless and limited labor for the cost. I hide them in the bulb/wiring housing of the motor. They are great in that it’s a set it and forget it.

This is a great product. Installed easily and works great!! Great communication from the garadget folks prior to the sale. Speedy shipping! My order went out the same day!!
If you need an adapter to get a switch that worked with an older door opener working with your new Security 2.0+ door opener, this is the ticket!!
