Garage Remote Limitations

[paco180]

Just received this:

I appreciate that you took the time to reach out, and I’m happy to assist you here!

At this time I am not able to verify with 100% certainty if those gate openers work with our vehicles yet, or if they will in the future. I will note here that you would like for Ghost Controls compatibility with your R1 vehicle.

If you'd like to try and troubleshoot this further, Service Support may be able to help. The phone number to reach them is 855-748-4265.

Thank you for contacting Rivian! Stay safe out there and please don’t hesitate to reach back out with any further questions, comments, or concerns.

Your fellow adventurer,

If Rivian is using the Homelink module, Homelink advises that they have coverage between 288 and 433 MHz.

Rivian uses a Chamberlain ARQ2 module.

FCC listing for frequency ranges.

I think that may be a bummer. Here is the FCC document for the ARQ2: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/HBW9757/5124503.pdf

Can any engineering types take a look and comment on it's frequency range. To me it looked like it transmits in the 902 - 928 MHz bands, but maybe I am misreading it. I am a Doc not an engineer.

So I talked to tech/service, and they are telling me it should work, according to their screen I’m supposed to have a selection for “ Gate” separate from the “ garage” icon. they are working on it and will get back to me. That might be an update, maybe

Anyone have any luck with getting a 318 Mhz door to work? I think it’s time for me to call support again

 

[paco180]

Nope

It's probably not a good sign that the latest version of the owner's manual added a line to the garage door section "Does not work on gates." Should we imply it's not feasible to enable it with a software change?

From my basic understanding it’s totally feasible for gates to also work. Also, I have a 318mhz garage door that still doesn’t work.

I can get it to read my 318mhz gate transmitter but it fails at the next step.

Just bumping this again. Super annoying that they can't open gates. Having the ability to have a bunch of items to control would make it so every gate and garage in my life could be integrated into the truck and yet, no...

 

[paco180]

We are all still waiting

I am still holding out hope for increased functionality with future updates. My Tesla could not be programmed for our neighborhood gate for several years, and it eventually became programmable and worked. The Rivian will not program the same gate. I called support after it failed as the screen directs, and they noted the frequency and put in a ticket. So hopefully Rivian will likewise add additional frequencies in the pipeline for some future update.

FYI - an updated list

 

[paco180]

By looking at the charts they can support 433.92MHz. Need that for my Ghost control gates
