Can someone help me with this? We have a gate that opens and shuts with a remote that looks just like a garage door opener. We have the openers in our work vehicles but not our personal vehicles. I tried setting up Homelink through my model 3 but can't seem to get it to work. There is no red button to press at gate to put it in sync mode. I tried the remote in front of the bumper and the lights don't flash but when I get back in the car it says it was programmed but it doesn't work. Other employees have set it up in their cars so I know it works.

I had no problem with a Liftmaster LA412UL gate opener.
If there's no "red sync button" on the gate opener circuit board then it's likely an older system with 9 or 12 code switches on it. My bet is you'll need to keep trying it until you get the lights to flash, indicating that the Homelink copied the code.
Some discussion about the same topic over on another forum: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/homelink-doesnt-work-with-analog-dipstick-opener.53566/#:~:text=I%20can%20confirm%20the%20old,remotes%20do%20work%20with%20Homelink.
Any chance you used the wrong remote when programming the gate HomeLink? Try using the gate HomeLink to open your garage.
In any case, once the user here finally got the name and part number of the garage door opener installed in his garage, that info was carried over to Homelink; and then (and this is where my memory is fuzzy) there were Issues whether Homelink was even compatible with that particular garage door opener. I don't remember if the guy had to give up, or if there was one of those procedures one had to do (click heels three times, wish on a star, etc.) to get it all to rights.
To the OP: You mentioned the "name" of the gate, but from the sounds of that name, it sounds like that's the name of the company that _installed_ the gate, not necessarily the name of the company that built the computer/radio receiver that runs the system.
I just looked. Homelink is at https://homelink.com/ and, right on the front page, there's a "Compatibility" item. Suggest you take a look through there and see if there's help to be had?
