I like the homelink auto-close feature, but I have a problem with the auto-open feature. When I arrive home, the auto-open feature is not auto-open. It is auto-press-the-button. By that I mean if the garage door is open, it closes it. This is a problem because on those rare occasions when the door is open upon my arrival I run the risk of crashing into it. I almost ran into it yesterday. My first question is whether this only happens to me? Is it supposed to sense the door is open or closed and only open it if it is closed?
The second question relates the the user interface and which is why I am posting here. I like the auto close. Whenever I leave I want the door to close. But when I arrive I do not want auto-open for the reason I mention above. But the interface seems to let me have just auto-open or both auto-open and auto-close, but not just auto-close. Is this correct? Why not just auto-close?
Finally, could my problem with the auto-open have to do with the distance from the garage at which the car is supposed to open the door? Might I be too far away that it thinks the door is closed when it is not? If so, how can I change the distance? I didn't see it in the settings. Thanks.
