No certain time of day, just "whenever" ......... not every day ........ I carry no remotes in my pockets. I didn't have this problem until I bought a Chamberlain "Clicker" remote and set it up. Thinking that was the problem, I removed the battery from it and bought a Craftsman dipswitch remote and set it up. SAME PROBLEM !!!
I'm guessing this unit was put in when the house was built about 1990.
In most cases, when a garage door opens or closes by itself, or when you find your door open, up returning home, the problem is due to a short somewhere. This short is most likely to be in one of two places: either in one of your transmitters or in the wall button or its wiring.
When there is a short in your garage door transmitter, you will often find the garage door is up upon returning home, even though you know you closed the door when you left the house. A short in your transmitter causes ta continuous signal to be sent. As you are pulling out of the driveway the garage door closes fully and appears to stop, but as the carriage and arm run past the down limit and hits the header bracket it reverses and the door begins to open, just as you start driving off down the road. You come home to find the garage door is up, as if someone else had opened your door. The best thing to do to troubleshoot the garage door problem is remove the batteries from your transmitters and try operating the door from the wall button. If the problem is intermittent, you may want to do this for a day or two to eliminate the transmitters as the culprit.
If the problem persists, try removing the wall button wire at the motor head to ensure it is not a short in the wire to the button, then try operating the garage door with the transmitters only. If it stops the problem, replace the wires and test the wall button which can also go bad. It is a process of elimination.
