IIRC I had to download an app. No?On the Tesla side there's nothing to install--- it just uses the wifi already built into the car
You do have to pay My Q (not Tesla) for a subscription to use it though.

It's $45 for 1 year, $179 for 5, $299 for 10.

Setting it up wasn’t ‘plug in play’, it took a couple of attempts before it worked.
There was a free period before I had to pay. Maybe 30 days?
True as MyQ needs WiFi in the house and an internet connection in the car to function. However, the 10-year plan is still cheaper than HomeLink and will outlast your current car; it can then be used with your next car. I went with the $45 one-year plan as a test and the wall unit was free. It is nice that MyQ tells you if you left the garage door open. I have a second unit on my second garage door so I can monitor it as well.From my experience HomeLink is more reliable than MyQ
They are just trying to cover their infrastructure costs. I agree its dumb but I can't blame them for the small amount they are charging. Buying that garage door controller 20 years ago (Huge exaggeration on the years) doesn't cover the cost of AWS today.I dont understand why MyQ requires a subscription and costs money, the android/ios mobile app is completely free and it presumably uses the same APIs. I guess because they can is probably the answer. I have the app and a fob, but I don't need/want the automatic open on pull in, so it works fine for me.
Agree 100%A couple of reasons I do not use auto close:
- I want to visually verify the area is clear
- With auto close there is a tendency to just leave, I always visually verify the door has closed
- When I back the car out of the garage, such as to move trash cans, I really don’t want it to close
You need to set it to auto-close when a certain distance away from the GPS spot you indicate. It works very well.DON’T SET TO AUTO-CLOSE. It closed on my one month old MY yesterday while backing into the garage. This capability is not ready for prime time, and like FSD may do the wrong thing at the worst time.
MyQ’s hub comes with a sensor you put on the door that will tell you when the garage is opened or closed.A couple of reasons I do not use auto close:
- I want to visually verify the area is clear
- With auto close there is a tendency to just leave, I always visually verify the door has closed
- When I back the car out of the garage, such as to move trash cans, I really don’t want it to close
That setting was in place and is the reason why the door closed when the car was moved. The situation was the car was parked outside the garage for a period of time and then it was moved. The place where the car was parked was obviously and unknowingly at the set distance to send the close signal. Only problem is that in this situation I was moving to the garage, not away.You need to set it to auto-close when a certain distance away from the GPS spot you indicate. It works very well.
