The extra box available at Lowes supplements the receiver on the door, it
doesn't replace it. So the old keypad can send it signal to the opener like
it always did. The supplemental receive will receive signals from the
Homelink. I was in the same boat. My Wayne Dalton openers did not use the
same frequency as the Homelink. They had rolling codes, etc and so does the
supplemental receiver which is triggered by the Homelink in the car.
