TOPENS HLR01 HomeLink Compatible Universal Receiver with Remote Control Transmitter for Automatic Swing Sliding Gate Opener Garage Door Opener, Security Gate Operator Accessory

I wasn't super excited I needed to buy something to make this work with our cars. But I looked into why Homelink is what it is and I get it. Bought one and it was a simple connect and worked right out of the box. The configuration in the cars was more about those than this device, but the receiver worked...for a while. After a couple months, one vehicle stopped working but I didn't pursue it because I still had the opener (one with the gate and one with the HLR01 - both still worked). Then it stopped working on the other vehicle. I contacted support and this is where I'm really happy. Evelyn responded quickly. She gave good information. I received actual instruction and feedback from the videos/picture I provided. We went through consecutive steps a little more than "turn it off and turn it on again" and the things that make someone somewhat knowledgeable feel like an idiot. After three short exchanges, a replacement was on its way. Arrived quick, installed just as easily as the first time, and we're off to the races again.

Purchased the homelink module to go with the Topens A5132 gate opener. Wiring was pretty simple but it did not work properly for me. Pressing the A button opened the gate as expected but the gate would not close unless the B button was pressed and then the A button. I contacted [email protected] and within minutes (Chloe) responded that the jumper was set incorrectly on the module. This was most likely a factory mistake as I did not touch the jumpers. Once I moved the jumper (see picture, the jumper must be moved to the 2 pins in the red box) the module worked perfectly. I followed up with a question about how much current the module draws as I am running on solar+battery. Once again I got a very fast response that the module draws 30ma with a 24v supply. According to Topens, 12Ah batteries and a 30W solar panel should do the job. Very helpful information. Finally, so far the range seems decent mounting the module inside the gate controller case (just take off the top of the homelink module case). In summary, Topens is providing a solid product with excellent support.

After more than 1 year of ownership I am mostly satisfied with this purchase. The device works great when installed correctly. I have mine mounted inside weather proof plastic box and have had intermittent issues with signal loss / interference with the remotes. I recently learned that the antenna should be uncoiled and exposed outside the box. This has made a significant improvement in signal accuracy and distance. All other install steps work as described. Pairing with my vehicles has been inconsistent where I was only able to get one of 2 homelink mirrors working.

I can't speak to long term reliability, as I just installed two of them, but I can speak to functionality as a general purpose garage opener retrofit, which is quite good. You will need to find a 12v adapter (some USB phone chargers will do that if you find the right pair). I have a pile to pick through that I have accumulated over the years, and they are easy to find and buy). They just have to run a reciever and a relay, so a 5w or better should be plenty. And you will need a garage door opener that uses either a normally open or normally closed "contact switch" (all of the garage openers I have had use normally open contact switched for the inside wall switch). The device has two relays, one that fires with the A button on the remote, and one that fires on the B button. And each relay has three contact terminals exposed. So you have two buttons that control two relays, and each relay can be hooked up to anything that needs to be momentary closed or momentary open as needed. I took it a step further, we have two garage doors, so I bought two of these. I hooked the first door up to one of these with the A relay, and the second door to another one of these with the B relay. Then I programmed both remotes to both openers. So the A button opens the first door, and the B button opens the second door, from either remote. Then I programmed the cars (2019 Audi and 2021 Volvo) homelink transmitters, which synced up nicely with the signal from the remotes. So works from the cars as well. So, for the money, I retrofitted two old openers that were really limited and that had falling apart remotes with these, and got 9 memory slots for openers (4 used now) and two nice compact decently built (it seems) new remotes. And the old remotes and openers continue working as they were. So, great for hacking up new life into old openers. Hopefully the opener and remotes hold up!

Really excellent results! My garage door opener worked with the wall button but not my vehicles remote control freature - obviously the units RF section went bad! I decided to try this unit - says it was compatible wiht Home Link systems - and it was. easy to hook up and programming the car function was easy using teh included remote! I needed to purchase a 12v power adapter to wire it up. Would recommend!!
