Remote fobs for gates/garage
Discussion
A bit random I know, but does anyone know of a true cloning remote which can clone multiple brands of fobs? I have a fob for my garage and another for my gates but they're both different makes.
I have tried multiple 'cheap' ones from Amazon/ebay and they either don't work, or will work with one but not both. Seems there's more to it than just buying a 433.92MHz one, the brand must matter somehow.
Anyways.....first world problem I know, but does anyone know of one which I can program both onto and save my keys some weight!

Brand always matters.
There are at least two different transmitting ways / frequencies.
I made the mistake of buying something off ebay which I thought would work. I'll never see that £4.35 again!
Anyway the one I wanted was a little bit more expensive (£20 - ebay again) but did the trick.
Unfortunately there is no simple way - you have to do the research.

Could you share a link? Also what brand you were cloning?There are at least two different transmitting ways / frequencies.

Obvious one, but are your gate and door both the same frequency?
If they aren't, the option would be to add a new receiver board of the matching frequency to the garage door, utilising the button-push terminals usually found on the motor unit.
They both say 433.92MHz so I guess so?If they aren't, the option would be to add a new receiver board of the matching frequency to the garage door, utilising the button-push terminals usually found on the motor unit.
Rather than try to mimic the remotes for each device, which might not work if they are rolling codes, how about replacing both remotes with more generic controls that interface directly with the electronics that open/close the gates and doors.
If you google homeassistant and the make/model of openers you should find guides for setting this up, you don't have to use homeassistant as most of the devices will support direct WiFi or Bluetooth control.

So I have BFT gate rams and switch gear
The switch gear is 20 years old and I found this fob worked.
