I have a Genie-Pro CM 6800, garage door opener. I would like however,
to alter it to have the garage lights come on when the safety sensors
are tripped. I would hope to accomplish this without replacing the
system. Is there a simple and inexpensive solution?

Thanks

Frank

Shouldn't it have that feature? I know even the cheapy Craftsmans have it.

I has the feature when you initially open and close. After a few
minutes when left open the light goes out. I would like to have it
come on when the sensor is tripped. This is helpful for me in the
evening and when working outside.
My previous home I installed a chamberlain which had this feature as
well.

Thanks

The cheapy Craftsman I installed works whenever the door is open as any
opener should. Maybe read the manual over and see if there is an
additional setting? If not then there really is no practical way it can be
modified to work they way you want but still, it's hard to believe it came
that way. One thing you can try is to call Geni and ask them about this.

easiest to install a seperate light beam sensor and lamp.

door opening would likely trip it and anyone walking thru sensor would
too.

cheaper than a new opener or modifying it.
