Abstract:
1. A garage door opening system comprising: (a) an interface unit comprising: (b) a remote device for manipulating the position of the garage door and for indicating the position of the garage door, the remote device comprising: wherein, when the slider is moved to the first position, the slider sends a first button input signal to the remote microprocessor, wherein upon receipt of the first button input signal, the remote microprocessor sends a first remote transceiver output command to the remote transceiver to cause the remote transceiver to send a first door signal to the interface transceiver, wherein upon receipt of the first door signal, the interface transceiver sends a first motor microprocessor signal to the motor microprocessor, whereupon the motor microprocessor sends a first motor output command to the motor unit (and controller) to move the garage door to the closed position, wherein, when the slider is moved to the second position, the slider sends a second button input signal to the remote microprocessor, wherein upon receipt of the second button input signal, the remote microprocessor sends a second remote transceiver output command to the remote transceiver to cause the remote transceiver to send a second door signal to the interface transceiver, wherein upon receipt of the second door signal, the interface transceiver sends a second motor microprocessor signal to the motor microprocessor, whereupon the motor microprocessor sends a second motor output command to the motor unit (and controller) to move the garage door to the open position.
