Does Homelink work with your Model 3?

[m3greg]

I got my garage to work just fine but my gate at my house I can't get to work. the remote doesn't have a learn button. I'm at a loss based on what I see as most other's experience.

For our gate opener, I had to open the housing door, pull out the remote receiver, remove its cover and find the learn button on the circuit board. After pressing the learn button, pressing the homelink entry on the screen completed the process.

What about HOA gates? Does anyone live in a gated community have experience programming the community gate?

Thanks! I didn't realize the little box opened up. I found the button and I'm all set.

Anybody have TWO houses with a single code for both? All my cars I program with the one code, but the geofence on the Tesla is going to require a second entry for the same code. That seems silly. Am I wrong? Is there a way to have two addresses pop up the HomeLink button?

For the second home you’ll just have to manually open it on the home link screen. No geo fence. But I think you can use the same code like any other homelink

Works great. I use a no name Chinese radio I rigged up to the unit when the original went out. Garage door businesses are scam artists and want you to replace the whole unit. Wasteful.

I have a genie 2024. When I went through the setup process for Homelink on my model 3 everything looked good but the car's Homelink could never open or close the garage door. After numerous retries I finally figured out an extra step to add to the Tesla setup that got it working. Once I finish all the Tesla walkthrough steps I then added one extra step that got everything working. I turned on the learning of my garage door one more time and then press the button on my Tesla display and that finally paired them up and now Homelink works perfect.

I have an 18 year old Genie and my Model 3 works. It took a few tries but I did get it to work.

Works fine with my 2004-era Overhead Door (Chamberlain) opener.

A lot of the time when trying to close my garage I need to hit the homlink button 3 or 4 times for my opener to finally get the signal and start closing. This doesn’t happen all of the time but often enough to be annoying. Pulling into my driveway and opening the garage door is much more reliable. Not sure why I’m having these issues. Perhaps it’s time to reprogram homelink.

I have a liftmaster from the dawn of time, and it works with my Model 3. I had to climb up on a ladder and set the opener to programming mode.

 

[Ray's Tech Fix]

With my 10 year old Liftmaster (model 2280) I was able to get it set up but after a successful set up it would not work so I set it up again. Same thing, it worked during the setup but not afterwards. Then after repeated setups, it worked ONCE and failed thereafter.

Just had a 8500 installed replacing a 20+ year old Genie. Now i just need my 3 to go with it.

Also have a liftmaster 8500 and unable to learn the model 3. My Model S worked just fine. The model 3 read the remote code fine but just won't learn it.

LiftMaster 8550 and 8500. Works fine. My dad has a Craftsman I'll be setting up later next month when I go visit him.

Does the remote that you used to teach the model 3 have lighted blue buttons or the older red led? The tesla website had issues with a "blue" button remote from somers. I wonder if I need to order a older liftmaster remote.

Mine works like a charm on my Ryobi garage door opener. Setting it up was a breeze. I also have it setup to my gate opener, it has a cheap receiver (Genie type) unit in it. Both work great.

Worked fine for me first time.

Is there a new maximum number of gates you can program with Homelink for the Model 3?

I’ve mentioned this in other threads but good to repeat here. If you’ve installed LED bulbs in your opener this will interfere with most garage door transmitter signals. My Mustang didn’t really have an issue but for some reason the Model 3 has a bigger issue with interference from LED bulbs. Genie makes an LED bulb specially designed for garage door openers that operate at a different frequency that regular LED bulbs. As soon as I changed my the bulbs in my opener to the special Genie LED bulbs homelink works every single time on the first attempt and my range has also doubled. If you have regular LED bulbs in your garage door opener swap them out.

Red, but the openers are only 2 years old. Far as I know, they're still the same ones sold for Liftmasters today.
