1. An operator system for a motorized barrier, comprising:
- a motorized barrier;
an operator which controls said motorized barrier, said operator taught to receive selected wireless operational signals to control said motorized barrier;
a device which controls an electrical load, said device taught to receive selected wireless operational signals to control said load, wherein said selected wireless operational signals are recognizable by both said operator and said device and both said operator and said device are configured to transmit said selected wireless operational signals; and
at least one transmitter generating wireless operational signals upon a single button actuation receivable by both said operator and said device for at least one of independent operation of each and collective operation of both said operator and said device, wherein during collective operation said selected wireless operational signals are received at said operator for actuation of said motorized barrier and retransmitted to said device for actuation of said device, and wherein said device is configured to indicate the status of said electrical load coupled to said device.

Abstract
An operating system for a motorized barrier includes an operator for controlling movement of the barrier between various positions. The operator may receive wireless signals from a wireless or wired wall station transmitter, a wireless keyless entry device and/or a portable remote transmitter device. The system also includes a device such as a light kit or switch that controls a load, wherein the device is capable of also receiving wireless signals to control the kit or the load. And the transmitters are capable of generating wireless signals receivable by the operator and the device for independent operation of each.

34. A system for controlling a motorized barrier and a device, comprising:
-
a barrier operator which controls the motorized barrier, said barrier operator receiving and transmitting wireless operational signals; a device which controls an electrical load, said device receiving and transmitting wireless operational signals; and at least one transmitter generating wireless operational signals receivable by one of said barrier operator and said device for actuation thereof, wherein in one mode one of said barrier operator and said device subsequently transmits another wireless operational signal to the other of said barrier operator and said device, and wherein in another mode said barrier operator retransmits received operational signals to said device to control the actuation of both said motorized barrier and said device, wherein said device is configured to indicate the status of said electrical load coupled to said device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37)
