I have been shopping (hesitating to pull the trigger) on a $25 "home-link" style garage door opener on e-bay. Just never got around to buying it!
THANKFULLY, I didn't buy it. I didn't want to take on the hassle of running power.
I am heading to the garage right now to pull my garage door opener apart to get this mod done today. Can't believe I didn't see this before......
Thanks for posting this (and your other videos).
Keep up the simple / cheap / GREAT mods!

Great idea. I would do one improvement to it though. You should encase the remotes circuit board in a ziploc or some kind of bag to assist in waterproofing it a bit. Maybe a desiccant gel pack in the sack too. Being now exposed, humidity, condensation, rain, splash, etc.. can impact it easier.
Overall, great job. I will do this with mine.

Am looking into doing this but not sure how I connect the wiring to the remote. The picture shows the back of the circuit board with the pen pointing to where the button is on the opposite side.
This is the front

S1 and so fourth are your remote buttons
Normally you have your garage opener programmed into S1 unless you have multiple doors or properties
The push switch has 4 post.
I'm not sure which ones your push switch uses to complete a circuit but it's either going to be the left and right post or the top and bottom post
And it doesn't matter if it's the upper or lower pins
Easiest and safest way is to use a ohm meter and ohm the legs while pushing the button and letting off
You can also use a short test wire
