Skylink 4B-434 Four-Button Remote
Bought this transmitter along with the SC-10 package. Easy to program and use. You can find the 12 volt batteries when needed at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Staples and Target and they cost about $1.50 each.

Could use button labels. I marked an “X” on the one to cancel the alarm, it helped. Since they all work interchangeably with the other components, it makes sense to me to make this more intuitive. Other than that, it programmed easily and seems to have adequate range. Skylink makes a decent product. Not the easiest to set up and limited pre-programmed functions but great for the price.

I can’t say enough for how convenient these key fobs are.
The control pad is clunky, and on the off chance that a burglar might be familiar with the Skylink security system, I wanted to place it in an out of the way location. On the other hand, trying to get behind a couch to deactivate the system in under 15 seconds was not appealing. The remote was the perfect solution. Each person in the household has one, and we only need to get back to the control panel when settings or batteries need to be changed.

These remotes are not bad. But one of them broke all of sudden after 4 month of use.

This little unit is great, if it’s used and purchased for what it was “intended”. It works in conjuncture with the Skylink SC-10* security system lines, and can turn the system on and off from a distance, without needing to actually be at the security panel. It’s a good idea to have at least a second one of these laying around to turn on the system or turn it off if something makes it freak out (as everybody says, it is mind numbingly loud). HOWEVER, I wrote this review specifically to point out that the Amazon technical description is wrong, and misleading. This absolutely does NOT open any garage doors. It doesn’t work with the skylink garage door set. There is supposed to be the “Skylink Garage One” unit being developed, that will connect with the SC-10* systems, and then this unit should be able to open a garage door, but currently as it is, it absolutely cannot open your garage door. Don’t buy it for that “feature”!
