Ditto. I have a garage and 2 gates to get through (different codes) so carrying 3 remotes is a pain that the Homelink module eliminates.Yep. Me too.
You can install our site as a web app on your iOS device by utilizing the Add to Home Screen feature in Safari. Please see this thread for more details on this.

I think that if you don't program the HomeLink to automatically open and/or close the door, why bother to spend the money for it? Just use the remote that came with the opener.
Don't you check even when you use the remote - I guess I don't see the distinction.Agree. Had the automatic with the X and always had to check to see if it really worked when leaving, now I just keep the garage door opener on the visor and it's one touch to see it close.

My work around for this concern is to set "Auto Close" to off and then I just use the button on the screen to close - pretty close to what you do with your remote. I don't trust auto close either but all the other features of Homelink are worth it for me.When I hit the remote, I see it going down immediately. Driving away with auto I don't, unless I want to look backwards and hit the neighbors garbage cans during the 10% of the time that the sensors don't work.
You may want to consider something like Chamberlain MyQ and control it over the internet from your phone/smart watch. You can remotely tell if your door is up or down as well.For the folks that have purchased this from Tesla, was it worthwhile? Would you do it again? I'm contemplating buying this, but would like to know if those who currently own it are pleased. Let me know!

You can set it to not be automatic. I did this so I don't have to trust it to always do the right thing (I also like to actually confirm it closes when leaving too).
True, which I did at first. It was too distracting to need to hit that though, there's a lot of kids on my street and I didn't like having to look way over on the screen.OR as you approach your set location, the homelink will pop up and you have a couple of seconds to cancel the auto opening.
Was this a remote that came with your garage door opener, or did you purchase it separately? If so, where? Thanks.I followed the recommendation of attaching a single (long) button remote in the middle of the lower bottom part of the screen, completely out of view, and easily reached below the fan button on the screen. And it worked perfectly for me. I have 3 houses with compatible openers (Chamberlain, Liftmaster, Craftsman, etc), and the same remote works for all 3 openers. I'd never use the 'auto' feature, so it was an easy decision for me. By the way, I used 4 little squares of industrial strength double-sided 3M tape to attach the remote, so I could safely yanked it off if needed, and it's solidly attached. In addition, I don't want a tech messing with my brand new car either. If it was available from the factory, I'd probably have ordered it.
