Constant Door Locking @ Home Driving Me Crazy

[dafish]

An quickly running short of patience with this thing. Its set to auto-lock doors and has the "Except for Home" checkbox selected. Doesn't matter, it locks the darn doors anyway. And it know's its home. Tessie automations that all run "on home arrival" work, and the car reports it's at it's home address under "location".

Doesn't matter, damn doors are locked. Again. Always. Annoying as hell too.

How do I get this thing to lock doors automatically and NOT do it at home?

I'd use a Tessie "arrival" command to unlock the doors but developer won't give us a "wait x minutes" command, so that doesn't work.

Help? TIA!

If you use iOS you can create an automation that triggers on arrive home. This gives you access to a wait function and then you can call Tessie’s unlock function.

Try remove and re-assign "Home" while your car have good GPS signal lock, like outside the garage vs inside the garage, then drive a block or two away and see if it recognizes your new "Home" location when you return.

Assigned Home and checked Unlock. Works

My wife’s profile didn’t have that option selected so if the car connects to her phone then it would lock the doors

Guess I'll check the wife's car, then maybe drop a pin.

Thanks guys!

It would be nice if it could stay unlocked at a 2nd or 3rd location. Like a vacation home or work.

this. And when you hit 'don't lock at home', you have to drive the car away, THEN back home, then it will work correctly.

And that turned out to be it. The location appears (I guess) to be fine, and "Home" is a one-and-done for all drivers (odd), but the "exclude home" setting meanwhile is per profile. Apparently different programming teams eh?

Props to @Mulkogi

Glad it worked. For me all the locations were different per profile so i had set home address for both of us and different work addresses
