I've seen some other threads in here that talk about using the Evolve LFM-20 as a garage door opener. The few I've seen mention wiring up the blue wires in-line to the garage door opener button.
I just wanted to be sure - are the blue wires low voltage? I noticed my existing wires are quite small - the manual calls them "bell wire" and they don't appear to support much current. I'm not going to blow out my door by sending too much power am I?
Also, does the LFM-20 impair the ability to use the existing door switch? If the LFM-20 is "off", won't that break the circuit and cause the door not to open unless the LFM-20 is in the "on" position?
For what it's worth, here's my manual to the garage door: http://www.liftmaster.com/pdfdocs/114A3080.pdf
If you look at Installation Step 6 (~page 12 or so) you can see where it talks about this bell wire.
