i could be wrong in describing this, so i hope no one spazzes if i describe this incorrectly.

even though its not a duplicate frequency (or however its coded) an RF signal has power in its signal at other frequencies, so a neighbors garage door might be opening your door as well as their own.

i've seen 2 cases of this happening before

if your neighbors are willing, ask them if you can try their garage door opener and see if it opens your too

in graph description, what you desire, where the 1 spike is the signal to open your garage door:



but this is what you get
