In my case it is my remote garage doors.

Sometimes worry that I did not press the button on the remote to close them when I left home so I would drive pass my home again after dropping off the kids at school.

Fortunately distance to school/home/freeway to work is within a few minutes of each other.

Later installed an IP camera - told the wife it was for home security and not monitoring the garage doors.



distance/door sensor would be probably cheaper (they cost like 5 dollars), though you would need to trust its reliability more than IP camera


I think this was triggered when I came home one day and the garage door was open - suspect it was due to somebody using the same channel as me for theirs or I really forgot to close it.

Replaced it with a rolling code controller board as a precaution to eliminate one possible cause.
