We had the garage door opener nicely automated using a Linear GD00Z-4 connected to our Craftsman opener. All was well until the opener itself passed away and we replaced it with a new Craftsman 54985 with "AssureLink" (not gonna use that feature). All the Craftsman controls work fine, and the HomeLink controls in the cars work fine.
I suspected that the Linear would end up having trouble when I discovered that wired door control (the one that goes on the wall) had to be synchronized to the opener like a wireless remote would be. Wiring for the Linear is per the instructions, with the Linear's connections into the Craftsman using the same connections as the Craftsman wired door control.
When Linear tries to operate the door, the opener flashes the 3rd error code in the attached list, "The wires for the door control are shorted or the door control is faulty..." I've checked the wiring, reversed the wiring (Linear says it doesn't care), all to no avail. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the opener requires more smarts than the Linear's simple open/close-the-circuit can send.
However, I've not found a replacement/upgrade for the Linear. Anyone run into this before? Suggestions?
Thanks, all.
