5.2 Rolling Code Incompatibility

The BroadLink RM MAX supports 433MHz fixed-code RF devices but does not support rolling code (dynamic password) RF devices. Rolling code remotes are commonly used for garage door openers, some car remotes, and security systems.

How to Test for Rolling Code:

To determine if your device uses rolling code, grab its original remote and perform the following test:

1. Stand where the device can receive the signal from its original remote.
2. Quickly press the same button (e.g., "Open") 5-10 times in a row.
3. Observe how the device reacts:
• If rolling code: The device may stop responding after a few presses, or it might work initially but then ignore commands. The remote might seem "broken" and only work again after a pause or a single press.
• If fixed code: The device will most likely respond every time you press the button.

If you are still unsure about compatibility, please contact BroadLink customer support before purchasing or attempting to configure the product.
