Mazda HomeLink: What is It?
Mazda has made it easier for drivers to love their vehicles. Many of them now come equipped with the HomeLink system. What is the HomeLink system? It is an automation system that makes life a little easier.
What Is Mazda HomeLink?
HomeLink is a home automation app. It uses either a radio frequency or cloud-based wireless control to manage certain automated systems in the home. Drivers can use it to open garage doors and security gates. They can even control lighting systems in the home. Thermostats, security and other systems that are compatible with Mazda HomeLink can also be controlled from the comfort of your vehicle.
You can pull into an open garage, disarm your security system and walk into a warm and welcoming home.
How to Program Mazda HomeLink
Programing the HomeLink system in your Mazda is simple. There are several buttons, each one with a different function. If you haven’t programmed the buttons, they are useless until you do.
Start by programming the garage door opener. If you live in an apartment complex, this also works with the security gate. Hold either your garage door or security gate opener close to the HomeLink system. Make sure that nothing is blocking the signal from wither device.
Press the button on the garage door opener and the HomeLink system controller at the same time. You should see the HomeLink button change from a slow blinking flash to a rapid one. This indicates that the Mazda HomeLink button is set.
It is the same process for the other automated systems in your home.
