21. A method of controlling access to a secured area with a movable barrier operator and a movable barrier, a secure wireless encrypted communication link between the movable barrier operator and a control system peripheral to the movable barrier operator, the movable barrier operator responsive to signals from a remotely located user interface and which movable barrier operator controls movement of the barrier, the control system peripheral to the movable barrier operator controlling devices peripheral to the movable barrier operator, the communication link employing a rolling code-based authentication protocol, the method comprising:
-
effecting at least one wireless signal representative of an encrypted information communication from the movable barrier operator to the control system using the secure wireless encrypted communication link, the at least one wireless signal originating from the movable barrier operator; and performing a control action in response to the control system receiving the wireless signal representative of the at least one encrypted information communication from the movable barrier operator. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 33)
