One additional option is the possibility of a weak almost dead battery. My garage door was intermittently opening. After considering the usual options, I began to examine the battery. I have no proof but surmised when it is almost dead it can possibly cycle in such a way so as to activate the opener. After battery replacement I have no more garage door gremlins. It is the only thing I changed. The electrical experts here can grade my non-professional theory.
