1. An apparatus comprising:
- a movable barrier operator responsive to signals from a remotely located user interface; and
a secure encrypted communication link interface operatively connected between the movable barrier operator and a peripheral alarm system;
wherein the movable barrier operator is configured to;
control movement of a movable barrier in response to signals from the remotely located user interface,use the secure encrypted communication link interface to receive from the peripheral alarm system at least one signal representative of an encrypted information communication comprising, at least in part, a movable barrier movement command, andperform a movable barrier operator action in response to receiving the signal representative of the at least one encrypted information communication from the peripheral alarm system.

8. An apparatus comprising:
-
a movable barrier operator configured to be responsive to signals from a remotely located user interface and to control movement of a movable barrier in response to signals from the remotely located user interface; and a peripheral alarm system; a secure encrypted communication link interface operatively connected between the movable barrier operator and the peripheral alarm system; wherein the movable barrier operator is configured to effect at least one signal representative of an encrypted information communication from the movable barrier operator to the peripheral alarm system using the secure encrypted communication link, wherein the encrypted information comprises, at least in part, status information regarding a positional state of the movable barrier, the at least one signal originating from the moveable barrier operator; and wherein the peripheral alarm system is configured to performing a peripheral alarm system action in response to the peripheral alarm system receiving the signal representative of the at least one encrypted information communication from the moveable barrier operator. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
