Understanding Homelink Integration
Before diving into the programming process, let’s understand what Homelink is and how it can benefit you.

- Prepare Your Genie Garage Door Opener: Before programming, confirm your Genie garage door opener’s compatibility with Homelink. Most models made after 1996 work, but check the manual or Genie’s website for specifics.
- Access the Homelink Controls in Your Vehicle: Sit inside your vehicle and locate the Homelink controls. Typically, you’ll find these controls actively placed on the rearview mirror, sun visor, or overhead console. If your vehicle comes with Homelink, you’ll notice active buttons specifically assigned for programming and operating home automation devices.
- Put Your Genie Opener in Programming Mode: On your Genie garage door opener, locate the “Learn” or “Program” button. Press and release this button to put the opener into programming mode. The indicator light on the opener will begin flashing, indicating that it’s ready to receive programming signals.
- Initiate Programming Mode on Homelink: Press and hold the desired Homelink button you wish to program. While holding the button, simultaneously press and release the “Learn” or “Program” button on your Genie garage door opener. Continue holding the Homelink button until the indicator light on the opener flashes rapidly, indicating that programming is successful.
- Test the Programming: Once programming is complete, test the Homelink button in your vehicle to ensure it operates the garage door opener correctly. If successful, your garage door should open or close with the press of the programmed button.
- Repeat for Additional Buttons (if applicable): If your vehicle has multiple Homelink buttons and you wish to program them to control your Genie opener, repeat the programming process for each button individually.
By following these steps, you can seamlessly integrate your Genie garage door opener with Homelink, adding convenience and efficiency to your daily routine.
