1. A transmitter apparatus comprising:
communication circuitry configured to communicate with a remote computer via a network; and
a processor operably coupled to the communication circuitry and configured to:
generate a transmitter pairing request for pairing the transmitter apparatus with a movable barrier operator,
communicate the transmitter pairing request to the remote computer via the communication circuitry, wherein the remote computer is configured to verify the transmitter pairing request and thereby send an add transmitter request to the movable barrier operator including a transmitter fixed code associated with the transmitter apparatus,
receive the transmitter fixed code from the remote computer in response to the transmitter pairing request, and
program the transmitter apparatus to transmit a modified radio frequency control signal including the transmitter fixed code to the movable barrier operator for actuating a movable barrier operatively coupled with the movable barrier operator.
