Walk Away Door Lock (Doesn’t seem time work)

[Wennfred]

Just got 2020.24.6.5 and I checked marked the Walk away door feature (Exclude Home) and walked away. The car locks as I walk away and I leave the phone in the house and walk back to the car and the doors are locked

So what am I doing wrong here?

I had to cycle the option on and off, then it worked as intended.

I had similar experience with this setting and some others that kept changing back. I made sure I selected my profile before making changes and then they were saved and held.

Thanks, will try that and re-cycle the off and on switch again and see if that does it, very glitchy.

I found one of my third party Tesla apps was set to lock the car when left unlocked and unoccupied. Now that I’ve disabled that app function our MY seems to be operating as desired.

This happened to me the first time I activated the exclude home setting. But after the first time i drove the car out of the home geofence and returned home, it has worked every time. It's like it needed to leave the geofence and re-enter for it to activate the "don't auto lock here" rule the first time.

I had to leave home and come back for the exclude home to start working with sentry, maybe is the same

Thanks Stellavator and LevelHeaded. Your answers explained why the setting worked on my Y and my wife’s didn’t (she hadn't gone anywhere since the update). Saved some head-scratching here. Thanks again.

Thanks, I’m sure I would have to leave also disable and re-enable it before returning back to the garage. Will try that tomorrow. Will also make sure my Stats App doesn’t have this turned on as well.

Greet research and fix.

I like the walk away feature but I’ve noticed that my phone key has become less reliable with this update. Now the only way to get the car started is to use my key card. Anyone else?

I have not had an issue starting the car with the phone but have had a few instances where the car would not unlock and I had to wake up the App before it would work. I sometimes have my iPhone in low power mode and I believe that is what is causing it.

I was able to get it to work without driving the car by first turning off the autolock, saving it, turning it back on, enabling the ignore when at home option and then saving again. It seems like it doesn't get set properly if you already have autolock on and then simply enable the ignore at home feature. Hopefully the software guy sees this.
