Remote Universal vs Genie

Will the universal remote work with Genie?  I requested a replacement for my Genie remote and received a universal.

That's the wrong one. Actually it will still work the genie in IR but you should have got an RC73 remote which will also work the genie in RF.

Hi @wmccrary! thanks for reaching out to us.

I want to let you know that our Universal Remote is compatible with Genie receivers.
Let's try to Program your Universal Remote, and let us know how it goes.

We'll be happy to help!
