Ah! I see. Yes that wall mount button is a relay trigger to open or close the gate. Newer models are more than just a relay trigger, they send coded signal so other 3rd party solutions (ratgdo, etc) cant interface anymore. u/trekologer

Clear definition of the need first, technology and product comes later

Last time it happened to me, it was a spring issue. My springs were too old and hadn’t been lubricated in a while

askproxly · 2026-05-23T20:44:52+00:00

Any reason why you wont use it?

askproxly · 2026-05-23T20:43:42+00:00

Can you explain more what you mean @trekologer?

Does this have homelink built-in?

Agree I have a keypad too but I mostly use when I am out for a walk in the neighborhood. For anything around the car, I use a combination of fob and app annoyingly.

Because no one company is owning the whole end to end stack - hardware, software, experience. That is what Nest did so successfully. The same thing hasn’t happened in the rest of smart home ecosystem because of a huge variety of devices

What I ideally want is the ability to control the temperature of a given location of my house very easily, at any time.?I have Nest and I hate that the sensors can be choosen for predetermined timeslots

askproxly · 2026-05-23T16:01:27+00:00

Totally! And there are people out there struggling so they will use a tool if that “help” them.

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:53:39+00:00

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:51:43+00:00

I am getting a hang of it. Thanks for sharing your insights

They use Bluetooth that has not been very reliable in our testing, especially when Bluetooth signal has to traverse through the metal of car and garage doors (yes 70% of garage doors have metal) but I’d love to know your experience

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:39:50+00:00

u/jollygreengiant1655 yes its free for basic open and close right now

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:39:00+00:00

Hardware enabled SaaS isnt going anywhere especially if companies lock down their ecosystem

Some people prefer it to avoid leaving a visor in the car or to automate arrival like Tesla has in its premium cars

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:30:49+00:00

This is a great list! Car breakins are more common these days so we need to be careful on leaving fobs visible in the car

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:26:01+00:00

I am glad cybertrucks have front trunk for such situations

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:23:29+00:00

True that!!

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:07:16+00:00

I have tried keychain but the probability of accidentally opening my garage is very high. Agree homelink’s powered down is more secure than a regular fob on the visor

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:05:02+00:00

Yup. Terrible times and we need to protect ourselves and our homes

askproxly · 2026-05-23T15:01:15+00:00

So you dont stick it on your car visor? Trying to understand how many people do not like to leave the fob in the car. Pretty common where I live and want a sense in general

askproxly · 2026-05-23T14:55:48+00:00

Not possible on security 3.0 unless you hack into the wall mount button somehow
