Having an electric door is nowadays essential in order to enjoy comfort and security at home. However, all this will not be effective unless you have the right accessories that come with it. One of the most important ones is the door remote control. As its name clearly suggests, it is the control device that allows you to remotely control the opening or closing of your motorized door. And because it comes in a wide variety of models, it can be difficult to find the one that is compatible and works with your receiver. This is why in this section we offer a few tips and tricks to help you find and choose the right door remote control for your automation system.

 

 

As mentioned above, RF remote control is available in different models. In order to find the one that will be compatible with your door motorization, it is therefore advisable to base yourself on certain criteria. Here are the most important ones:

 

 The brand and model: this is the first criterion you have to take into account. The RF remote control you have to choose must be of the same make and model as the one you already have. This is an essential criterion to ensure its compatibility.

 

 Frequency: this criterion should not be neglected either. Only two remote controls operating on the same frequency can be compatible. To find out which of your transmitter's is displayed, simply open its case and see the label that appears on one of the coins, which is expressed in MHz.

 

 The number and color of the buttons: this criterion is also essential to know if a remote control for doors works or not with the receiver of its electric door. Indeed, some manufacturers prefer to differentiate its transmitters by the number and color of the buttons, which here represent their operating frequency.

 

 

In particular, you will have the choice between two main types of door remote controls:

 

 The original door remote controls: these are the models designed by the manufacturer of the automation system itself and are intended to drive only one door or another. They are most often supplied with the product, but are also available as replacement accessories. These remotes are the most recommended if you want to benefit from a perfect compatibility.

 

 Universal or copious door remote controls: as the name implies, these types of transmitters can be compatible with different models, but not all of them. For this reason, it is also important to refer to the criteria mentioned above in order to choose it correctly.
