Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of enabling and disabling a functionality of a trainable transceiver. The trainable transceiver may include a plurality of buttons, a control circuit, and a locking mechanism. The plurality of buttons may cause the control circuit to control one or more functions of a remote device. The control circuit may compare a sequence of inputs on the plurality of buttons to a predetermined sequence. The control circuit may acquire a sensor reading and compare the sensor reading to predetermined data. The locking mechanism may enable or disable operation of the control circuit in controlling the one or more functions of the remote device, responsive to a determination that the sequence of inputs matches the predetermined sequence and the sensor reading matches the predetermined data.
