Hello!
Im getting a tesla and want to know if I can control the garage door from the tesla screen?
-or, can I automate opening based on tesla location( arriving home and pulling into driveway automatically opens door)?
For now, I have a pico remote that can open and close the door.
Notes: I don't need to worry about closing the door cause I have it set to auto close after 25 minutes
current set up: Zooz 17 relay connected to opener, ecolink tilt sensor attached to top of door
App: Zooz Garage Door opener
Note also that if you have a Chamberlain opener and don’t mind giving them more of your hard earned money, you can purchase a subscription that will allow you to open/close all the doors on your account. The vehicle will also open and close the door automatically for you.
That’s what I ended-up doing since I have my parent’s garage doors also linked to my account, so it makes it easy for me to open (or close) their garage doors when I visit.
BWT - I hope you got someone’s referral code before ordering the Tesla - it gives you (and the person who gives out the code) some nice freebies. Latest I think was a few months of full self driving.
If you didn’t order yet and don’t have a referral code, I’ll be happy to give you mine! Going on an extended trip soon and can’t subscribe to full self driving from Canada…
I’ve been super happy with my Tesla. Got the Model 3 a bit under a year ago. I had a Nissan Leaf before and one of the things I really love is how precise Tesla is with the forecasted % battery remaining at your destination. You don’t need to worry that you’ll run out of battery, where with the Leaf, I had some close calls…. Also, the Tesla charging network is second to none!
