Our Homelink/Opener lashup appears to be operating consistently, but we'd like to know a little bit more about how it's deciding what to do. Here's what's happening:
We have enabled auto-open and auto-close for our garage door. Until we discovered a workaround, this is the way we were attempting to use the Homelink:
When we would get ready to leave, we would step into the garage, and press the door open switch on the wall. Then get into the MX, and back out. As we would leave driveway, the door would not close. We would turn around, come back in the driveway and close the door using HomeLink. Upon return, the door would AutoOpen for us. We would typically close the door using the wall switch.
We have discovered that if, when we're leaving, we use the MX's HomeLink remote to open the garage door, the door will AutoClose correctly as we leave the driveway.
So, the question is, does the car keep track of what it thinks the state of the door is? And only modify that presumed state based on commands it has sent? Or what?
