Does anyone know of a programmable opener for many (ideally 10+) electric openers? I currently have 2 gate and 6 overhead door openers and will soon have several more overhead door openers. There has to be a better solution than 17 different buttons across 4+ controllers.

One of my kids flys RC airplanes and he can program his controller for something like 250 different planes. Does someone make a garage door opener that can do the same thing?

Hell, I can't even get my single garage door programmed to the built in my car. A 20-in-one opener seems like LaLa land to me.

You could upgrade them all to myQ compatible openers and have them on your phone. This will require an internet connection for both your phone and the opener at all times.

Is this not one of the best humble brags ever?
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

I can add that only 2 of the overhead doors are on my house so you can scale down your mental image of my house with umpteen garages. 4 of the overhead doors are on an existing barn and 9 more will be on another barn that will soon be built.

This would be the best way IMO

Do you really want all the doors to open when you hit the button?

Depending on the type of opener, you could probably set the dip switches up so that you could move a dip switch or two and have them open multiple doors.

For example, on those openers with the 10 dip switches that remotes get matched to.

No. In order of preference I want:

1. something with a menu to select a door/gate to open or close
2. something with a keypad where each door or gate has a unique number ID
3. something with 20 buttons with each button being for a different door or gate
