The good news: Genie is one of the biggest garage door opener brands in the US, and your opener always keeps working with its wall button and remotes.
The bad news: In 2024, Genie moved Aladdin Connect to a new system, and integrations like Home Assistant stopped working for a while. Remote control depends entirely on Genie’s cloud.
If you own Genie Aladdin Connect
- Keep your wall button and remotes working, since the opener does not need the app.
- If you use Home Assistant, keep the Aladdin Connect integration updated.
