Electronic systems are provided for secure actuation of a remote device such as a moveable barrier operator. The systems address the “man in the middle” problem of persons intercepting and duplicating radio frequency signals from a control device by introducing timing parameters into a bidirectional communication sequence between at least two devices.

A method for operating an access control comprises creating a plurality of wake-up schedules for a wireless transceiver. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules may be configured to control how frequently the wireless transceiver wakes up to transmit or receive information. Each of the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver may be different from another one or the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver. The method may further comprise automatically switching between the plurality of wake-up schedules for the wireless transceiver such that a duration of time between wake-ups for the wireless transceiver radio is shorter during some predefined times and longer during other predefined times. The duration of time between wake-ups for the wireless transceiver may be configurable by an administrative user via an interface.

Systems are provided for secure actuation of a device such as a movable barrier operator. The systems permit the device to instruct a control device associated with the device how to proceed in order to allow different types of security protocols depending on the configuration of the control device. Methods of pairing devices are also provided.

A vehicle device operating parameter setting system includes a controller connected to at least one vehicle device. The controller is configured to count repetitions of usage of the at least one vehicle device by a first vehicle operator using parameters that differ from the previously saved parameter settings and determine whether the repetitions of the usage of the vehicle device by the first vehicle operator exceed a predetermined number. In response to the repetitions exceeding the predetermined number, the controller automatically operates an information providing device providing the first vehicle operator with a plurality of parameter settings of the at least one vehicle device. The controller is further configured to save a selected one of the plurality of parameter settings in response to the first vehicle operator selecting the one of the plurality of parameter settings, thereby replacing the previously saved parameter setting.

A trainable transceiver for controlling a remote device includes a transceiver circuit configured, based on training information, to control the remote device, a communications device configured to communicate with a mobile communications device, an output device, and a control circuit coupled to the transceiver circuit, coupled to the communications device, and coupled to the output device. The control circuit is configured to receive notification information from the mobile communications device via the communications device, and wherein the control circuit is configured to generate an output using the output device based on the notification information.
