2 weeks ago swap the wall panel between two of the doors. I bet the problem follows the panel.
This is a known issue that gets reposted quite often. The speculated cause is failing capacitors on the wall panel.

2 weeks ago Looks like you are correct.
I swapped garage 2 and garage 3 wall panels and now the spurious opens happen on garage 3. I couldn't find any info about bad capacitors on the LM398 and it isn't obvious which capacitors (none seem similar to the often-reported problem capacitors in LM888. If anybody knows, that would be great.
I did find an LM398 on eBay and will try that. Otherwise I guess I'll have to switch to LM889LMMC (times three because ... OCD?).
In any case, thanks so much for your help.

Basic
Randomly start getting door opened events; comes in a cluster usually at night. After a bit, get door closed again. Might not get any for 24 hours, then get 10-20 times in a few hours.
Details - other info which might be relevant
Interesting
This problem only occurs with garage door 2.
Speculation
I have attached a few screenshots of the web interface.

I am happy to do some debugging if you let me know what to do. Not really familiar with esphome environment but I guess I can learn!
