Nice. I have to push the button on the wall every time.

That would suck if there were a pack of honey badgers outside.

You don’t say. What have you done to investigate?

It happens about every other day. The garage door only goes up, not down. The wall opener and homelink are the only ways it should open.

Why does it happen when you walk into the garage rather than at random, for example when you are asleep?

It seems obvious that your presence is trigging the action. Is that correct?

Well, it's not the homelink in your Genesis. It's not even powered at all without the engine running.

Yes, it would be nice to know the year and model that the OP owns to determine whether his car has uninterrupted power to the Homelink, or not, as in more recent years.

Sometimes it happens when I have driven another car and walk in. Sometimes I have just gotten in the house and it opens.

So, it is the opener, not the car. Mine has a motion sensor for the light. Maybe your has a short or bad sensor of some sort.

Disconnect your car’s Homelink from your garage opener. If you still have the problem, your garage door motor unit is the problem. Remote control units can sometimes receive signals from other houses in the neighborhood.
