Anyone know if this works with Home Assistant (unlike the MyQ one that they specifically locked out of the Home Assistant eco-system)?

As of a few months ago Aladdin Connect is supposed to be working in HA again. I don't have one myself, but I'm going to need a new opener soon so I'm glad it's an option again.

have a ryobi (!) GDO. Will this work? They're abandoned their app too, so looking for third party options.
OT It even has a fan but app controlled. I wonder if I can rip it out and use w/ battery?

.

I have the newer version of Genie with WiFi built-in (I would assume this acts the same), and it connects to Home Assistant. I also connected it to SmartThings.

However, I found that connecting to Samsung SmartThings is more reliable than the Genie integration for some reasons (A few times Genie showed unavailable, while it's still online on my SmartThings), so I decided to just use SmartThings

edit: idk why my comment is messed up with the quote. tried editing but didnt work

Yes: https://www.home-assistant.io/int...n_connect/

I'm currently using Home Assistant (via MQTT) solely as a proxy for my OpenHAB instance to control my garage door.

Genie has actually published a new Python SDK for it as well: https://github.com/Genie-Garage/a...python-sdk (don't get too excited, though -- you need an API key to use it and so far they've only provided one to their partner Home Assistant and don't currently have a way for anyone else to request one - I emailed one of the devs and asked).

Buyer beware with the Aladdin Connect system. TLDR at bottom.

My experience included:

1. Random door opening triggers. Seems like a slight inconvenience with the ability to control open / close with the app, right? See #2.

2. Buggy app: connectivity errors, login authentication error (random sign outs), and non functioning open/close control.

The last straw occurred when my garage camera picked up motion activity while I was on vacation. I pulled up the clip, and my door opened by itself. I attempted the app and tried to close it, but had a "sorry, can't connect right now" error. I had to call my neighbor to assist.

TLDR: unreliable to the point that I reverted back to the 60yo technology that is the RF transmitter.

What about Shelly? I think that $10 device can open/close garage door using home assistant.

I do not have experience with it yet, but bought a bunch of their relays on thanks giving to try them out.

Hopefully someone in this forum will confirm if Shelly works with garage door.
