Awesome

Super easy to pair garage doors with built in car mirror buttons. There was probably some update because last time I had to press the actual motor buttons but this time just the actual remote worked. Simple and straightforward app with a nice design.

Alexa skills

the app lets me trigger smart home scenes in alexa when I push a homelink button in my car, so I have Alexa announcing when I arrive, my family loves it 😉

One instruction and that's it

the only instruction the app shows is "press and hold bluetooth button for 5 seconds"... nothing else. that's not helpful

It did its thing! 👍

It did its thing! 👍

All it's supposed to do is a guide to program the remote (mirror buttons).

Strange happenings

Garage door opens at all hours with no intervention by the user. Found my garage door opened at 1am! Had to delete the app to stop that from happening.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. A quick note, the HomeLink app is unable to open garage doors. Only HomeLink in the vehicle can do that when it is programmed and the button is pressed.

Useless

This maybe helpful if you need to refresh your memory on how to program your opener, but this app has no functionality, useless.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We'd like to note that the HomeLink Connect app does indeed help with training your in-vehicle HomeLink buttons, but for vehicles with Bluetooth-enabled HomeLink, it can also allow you allow you to control smart home devices from your vehicle. Those same HomeLink buttons can then turn on lights, set your thermostat, toggle outlets and more.

Doesn’t give you any new info

Just gives you the same instructions as online or my car manual. Found out I would have to buy a new transmitter to make it work after calling in and performing the same steps I had already tried 8 times.

Doesn't work

Home link is the brand of connection between a garage door remote and the opener. This app won't let you open your garage door. Misleading.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. HomeLink Connect is a companion App for HomeLink, and it relies on an accompanying vehicle-integrated HomeLink. The HomeLink Connect App provides guidance on how to program your HomeLink, and it also adds Smart Home functionality in the case of a Bluetooth capable HomeLink.

Amazing Instructions
