Which Garage Door Openers are compatible with Konnected GDOs?

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 GDO blaQ works best with Security+ 2.0 garage openers that expose the wired Security+ serial connection.

A white learn button indicates Security+ 3.0. Konnected does not currently offer a garage door product that is compatible with Security+ 3.0 openers. See Security+ 3.0 and White Learn Button Garage Openers for details.

Some Chamberlain and Merlin openers sold in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe use Security+ 2.0 only for wireless remotes and do not have the wired serial terminal required by the GDO blaQ. If your opener has a green terminal labeled 0 / E-serial, follow GDO blaQ Wiring and Compatibility for Some European, Australian, and New Zealand Openers. If it has a dry-contact input but no wired serial terminal, use the GDO White instead.

GDO White: residential openers with a dry-contact trigger

For residential garage door openers that use a standard push-button or dry-contact trigger, choose the GDO White.

The GDO White uses a push-button or dry-contact relay to trigger the garage door to move. This works with nearly all other residential brands and models, except Security+ 2.0 openers (see above).

Commercial-style openers are not compatible with the GDO White or GDO blaQ. This includes openers with separate Open/Up and Close/Down controls. Konnected does not currently have a product that works with these openers.

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 that single pair of terminals operates the door with the same toggle-style control used by one push button, then it's compatible with the GDO White. If the opener has separate Open/Up and Close/Down inputs, it is not compatible.
