System and method for programming a trainable transmitter

A trainable transmitter comprising a processor programmed to perform the following operations:

• initiating a training mode of the trainable transmitter;
• while the trainable transmitter is in the training mode, the processor further programmed to perform the following operations:
• monitoring for a first radio frequency communication transmitted using a second communication protocol;
• receiving, from a remote control previously learned by a movable barrier operator using a first communication protocol, the first radio frequency communication using the second communication protocol, the first radio frequency communication comprising an access code;
• generating a derived access code from the access code using a predetermined mathematical equation;
• sending, to a moveable barrier operator, a second radio frequency communication using the second communication protocol, the second radio frequency communication comprising the derived access code;
• and
• receiving, from the movable barrier operator, confirmation that the trainable transmitter has been learned by the movable barrier operator, the confirmation indicating that the derived access code matched an expected derived access code from the movable barrier operator;
• and
• while the learned trainable transmitter is in an operating mode, the processor is further programmed to perform the following operations:
• receiving a request to perform an action on a movable barrier;
• and
• based on the received request, cause the movable barrier operator to perform the action on the movable barrier.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the following operations:

• initiating a training mode of a trainable transmitter;
• while the trainable transmitter is in the training mode:
• monitoring for a first radio frequency communication transmitted using a second communication protocol;
• receiving, from a remote control previously learned by a movable barrier operator using a first security protocol learn mode, the first radio frequency communication using the second communication protocol, the first radio frequency communication comprising an access code;
• generating a derived access code from the access code using a predetermined mathematical equation;
• sending, to a moveable barrier operator, a second radio frequency communication using the second communication protocol, the second radio frequency communication comprising the derived access code;
• and
• receiving, from the movable barrier operator, confirmation that the trainable transmitter has been learned by the movable barrier operator, the confirmation indicating that the derived access code matched an expected derived access code from the movable barrier operator;
• and
• while the learned trainable transmitter is in an operating mode:
• receiving a request to perform an action on a movable barrier;
• and
• based on the received request, cause the movable barrier operator to perform the action on the movable barrier.
