I live in an apartment with a detached garage and an automatic garage door opener. I bought the Homelink device and had it installed.
Within the vehicle the Homelink works great. It opens and closes the garage - even automatically closes it when I pull away and automatically opens it when I approach.
The Homelink button on the mobile app however has not been a pleasant experience. Occassionally the Homelink button will not successfully activate from the Tesla app. It will give me the message, "Please move closer to your vehicle." I can be inside the garage standing right next to it and it will keep saying this.
I've tried:
- Force close the app and restart it
- Rebooting my phone (a Pixel 4xl)
- Turn the phone on airplane mode and then off airplane mode
The big plus for me using the app is I no longer have to carry the garage remote around anymore. It's a bummer that the app isn't working well for me.
Anyone else experience this or have any ideas or suggestions? Maybe remove the app and reinstall it?
Thanks!
