Between the GDO White and GDO blaQ, Konnected has a smart controller for your garage door
Konnected's GDO White and GDO blaQ are two different products that are compatible with different brands and models of garage door openers.
GDO blaQ: for Chamberlain brands with Security+
The GDO blaQ only works with Security+ or Security+ 2.0 garage openers, a technology in most Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Craftsman and Merlin brand garage openers. The GDO blaQ works by communicating to the garage opener over the Security+ wired serial protocol that was developed by Chamberlain, so it will only work with these brands!
Security+ garage openers can be identified by the color of the learn button on the back of the garage door motor.
A purple or red/orange learn button indicates the original Security+ protocol (Security+ 1.0).
A round yellow learn button indicates Security+ 2.0, the newest technology by Chamberlain which is present in most new garage openers sold today. The GDO blaQ works best with Security+ 2.0 garage openers.

GDO White: all other brands
For all other garage door openers, choose the GDO White.
The GDO White uses more "traditional" means to control the garage door, a push-button or dry-contact relay to trigger the garage to move. This works on nearly all other brands and models of garage and gate openers, and is generally universally compatible except with Security+ 2.0 openers (see above).
NOTE: Genie Series III openers with Models 3022, 3024, 3042, 4022, 4024, 4042, 3062, 3064, 4062, 4064 that have a serial number LOWER than the number 122494110518 are not a standard dry contact switch, and will require a dry contact adapter switch to work with our Garage Door Opener.
You can test if your garage opener will trigger by a dry-contact relay by using a small wire or metal paperclip to connect the two terminals leading to the wall button. If the garage door motor triggers, then it's compatible with the GDO White!
