Same problem here! It looks like it started after the Aeotec updated to 3.0.11.

There is a new test version available [v3.0.12](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.aeotec/Aeotec/test/) which should fix the problems with Garage Door Controller Gen5.

For more information about the Aeotec app change log please use this [link](https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/6000245694).

**EDIT**  
If the problems are still there, please contact Aeotec via this [link](https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/support/home).  
Aeotec is the developer of the app, not Athom.

I don´t have the Aeotec GDC, so I can’t test it myself, but maybe @marc_scheeren and @tarumaycry gives some more information to @Spratle. Maybe it helps a bit.

– Does the app need to be restarted?  
– Does Homey need to be restarted?  
– Does the GDC need to be excluded and included again?  
– Which Homey firmware are you using?  
– What firmware does the GDC have?

Hi @Spratle,

After i updated to 3.0.12 it worked immediately (no restart of homey required).  
I did’nt have to exclude or include again either.

Homey on 6.0.0  
Firmware Version 1, Sub Version 12

I have reinstalled, restarted the app and removed/paired the GDC. Restarted Homey but it still don’t work.  
But after I updated to 3.0.12 the fault message shows: “Missing capability listener: locked”

Homey 6.0.0  
Aeotec 3.0.12  
GDC 1.14

You have done everything what you can do.  
The only difference is the firmware of the GDC.  
I would suggest to contact Aeotec, sorry.
