There are small DIP switches in the fan head and small switches in the remote. The head and the remote have to match. If you have two remotes, you can set fan heads and remotes to different channels. Video shows it.
You won;t need the original openers for the newer garage door openers. There is a button on the back of the opener that you have to push to get the universal remote to sync with the garage door opener. The instructions that come with the universal remote are pretty good in explaining the setup.
You don't need codes. I'm not sure what you are trying to do but to program the opener for a remote you need to hold the button down on the remote while you press and immediately release the smart/learn button. The smart/learn button is on the rear of the motor unit near where all those white wires go.
If you held the smart button in too long it erases the memory and none of the remotes will work. To program it press and hold the button on your remote and then press and immediately release the smart button.
Posting your garage door model would help, but there may be a button close to the LED on the garage door opener that you have to depress to allow the two to pair up. Assuming that this is the similiar to my garage door control mechanism, if you have the dip switches set correctly you need to depress the button mentioned above and then depress one of the buttons on the remote.
So you have Hampton Bay fans and universal remotes? If so, then either the remotes are not programmed correctly or the receivers are not wired for the remotes. That is one bad thing about using universal remotes.
I suggest you go to Home Depot and buy one Hampton Bay remote, bring it home, turn of the breaker to the fans, and get on a ladder to get to the receiver. Check the dip switches, and program the switches on the remote exactly the same way.
(While you're at it, make sure the universals dip switches are set exactly the same.)
