Homelink Triggering On Its Own

[Aka-none]

I have it on my GGT but honestly there are so many better options now I rarely ever use it. With the ratgdo modules, Home Assistant and the Apple Homekit bridge I can just tell Siri to open and close my garage doors and even have automations setup to warn me if we leave the area with the door(s) open. A lot more robust than HomeLink IMO.

If you use HomeKit you can use a Meross gd opener if your gd opener uses a simple switch to trigger

Also this. I have much more through HA so I want it there first and then pushed through to Homekit.

The car activated homelink again by itself. Returned home at 4:58am and closed the garage door immediately. At 5:00am, the car activated homelink by itself and opened the garage door.

Really considering just disabling homelink on the vehicle and pursuing a lemon law claim due to all the other persistent issues the vehicle has been having.

I'm one of the ones who was complaining about this issue last winter (and I believe I mentioned it in a service request).

What We've noticed:

• It happens in winter, not in summer.
• Seems to happen more often at night.
• It seems to be more likely to happen after failures of homelink to open the garage, which usually happens when our outdoor lights are on, which is usually at night time. Last winter I often had to turn off the outdoor lights (using the voice assist) to get homelink to work.
• However it still often happens even when homelink works first time.
• The last couple of weeks I've been able to reliably reproduce it about 80% of the time. I arrive home, use the car homelink to open the garage, drive in, get out, shut doors, walk down the driveway to the mailbox, walk back to the car, homelink triggers as soon as the car wakes up. Last night I decided to take a video given that I seem to be able to reproduce it fairly reliably.
• Doesn't seem to depend on what other cars are home.

I've shared the full video on swfeedback.
Attached is a low resolution 4x speed video to fit in the file limits in this forum.

I know that a couple of years ago Rivian had a similar issue where it would sometimes operate homelink when the car wakes up.

Yes this is it. Nice, im not the only one that experiences this. It’s definitely due to failed attempts by homelink. Mine happens during the day too, but it’s definitely due to failed attempts
