Claim:
A multiple barrier control system to simultaneously control the movement of a plurality of barriers as part of a scene, the system comprising: a plurality of barrier operators, each of which are configured to be operatively associated with a corresponding barrier, said barrier operators each having at least two functions in which to control the movement of the corresponding barrier; at least one appliance adapted to be remotely controlled; and a transmitter adapted to be learned with said plurality of barrier operators, said transmitter having at least two command buttons, at least one function button and at least one scene button, wherein after said transmitter is learned with each of said plurality of barrier operators and said appliance, said at least two command buttons are enabled to simultaneously invoke said at least two barrier movement functions at each of said plurality of barrier operators, said at least one function button is enabled to invoke barrier movement functions at a specific one of said plurality of barrier operators and said at least one scene button is enabled to operatively control said at least one appliance to a predetermined condition and invoke predetermined barrier movement functions at all of said plurality of barrier operators to adjust each barrier to a close position, an open position, or a desired position in between the open and close position, wherein said predetermined barrier movement functions move each barrier to a position which is different than the position of the other barriers.
