Garage
At first they said they couldn't put anything less than a 1 minute delay on the overhead garage door. Said they got too many false alarms waiting for the overhead door to open, pulling the car in, getting out of the car, then making it to the keypad. I know I usually start my overhead door opening a few houses down the street so it is open all the way when I get to it.

My alarm before did not have a sensor on the garage overhead door. Only on the garage to house door so the 30 second delay was plenty to make it from my inside garage door to the alarm keypad and vice versa.

Googling found a couple of discussions on using Homelink to both arm/disarm and close/open the overhead door. Seems a LOT of people would want that feature.

The only opposition I saw was that people were afraid if someone stole their car they would have access to both opening the garage overhead door and their Alarm. Some even talked about they didn't use homelink at all because they thought it was insecure. And that they didn't even clip the remote to their visor, they carried it with them.

Don't think Homelink would be an issue, because... If the alarm is armed/disarmed, I get a email notice on my phone. If I am out and get a disarm notice and find my car gone I can call the police. Also if I see my car missing could use the phone to disable homelink access. Disabling Homelink would also work if you put the car in the shop.

Whata ya think, would many people want Homelink to arm/disarm their Alarm?
