“Not established” means we have not sourced that detail yet — not that the product has no model number, generation or regional variant. We publish the gap rather than filling it.
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Home | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[7] | No native Apple Home support, and — contrary to a widely repeated premise — no evidence that a HomeKit-enabled model ever shipped, so this is recorded as an absence rather than as a removal with a date. Genie's own 23-partner list includes 'Siri Shortcuts' but not Apple Home; the two are not equivalent, and Siri Shortcuts means running an app action by voice, not an accessory in the Home app with automations, hub access or sharing. Genie's support position is that there is no time frame for adding HomeKit. Apple Home access requires third-party Homebridge or HOOBS plugins. |
| Amazon Alexa | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[12] | Two live skills and a well-supported path. Opening by voice requires a spoken PIN, which is Amazon's rule for garage doors rather than a Genie limitation. It routes through servers, so it stops with your internet. Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery is separately supported, announced 2023-08-24, and is Prime-only with ZIP-code eligibility — noting honestly that Amazon's own compatibility page would not open for us, so that claim rests on Genie's page plus corroborating search results rather than on Amazon's own current statement. |
| Google Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[12] | Works through Works-with-Google account linking under the name 'Genie Smart Garage'. Opening by voice requires a PIN and, unlike some implementations, it cannot be disabled — that is a safety feature rather than a defect, but it is worth knowing before you buy if you expected frictionless voice opening. Cloud-routed and fails in an outage. |
| SmartThings | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[12] | Works-With-SmartThings certified, announced 2021-01-21, and the strongest of the mainstream integrations here. It has also quietly become the community's recommended bridge INTO Home Assistant, since Genie routes Home Assistant users through SmartThings rather than offering a direct free path. Cloud-to-cloud, so it fails in an internet outage, and it inherits any future SmartThings platform changes. |
| Home Assistant | PartialPartial support — see the catch[25] | The most unusual arrangement in this category. Genie changed how its service works in January 2024 and broke the community integration; Home Assistant's own version failed to load in release 2024.7, and the rewrite needed sign-in credentials ordinary users could not obtain. The integration was then restored — and is now maintained by a GENIE EMPLOYEE as its code owner, built on a toolkit Genie publishes. The catch is what that restoration costs: Home Assistant's own documentation states it requires 'an active Home Assistant Cloud subscription, since the integration authenticates through it'. So the honest description is not 'removed' and not 'restored' but something in between — broken by the maker changing its own plumbing, then brought back under the maker's control behind a paid third-party subscription. It works through Genie's servers, so there is no local path. We call it partial for exactly that reason. |
Needs before it works: No hub. The door control module joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi directly and itself acts as the hub for the wireless door position sensor: Genie's own installation steps pair a Door Position Sensor to the powered 'Door Control Hub', and Genie sells an 'Aladdin Connect Door Position Sensor (for 2nd and 3rd doors)' separately, so one module covers up to three doors. ⚠ Genie's own page also states 'The Door Position Sensor (ALDPS-R) is not compatible with this model.' — so at least one sensor part number in that family will NOT work here. Both statements are Genie's, on the same page; check the part number before buying a second or third sensor. 2.4 GHz only, and Genie is unusually explicit about it: 'Your door control module is only compatible on 2.4 GHz networks... The door control module is not compatible with 5 GHz networks.' Its FCC filing authorises 2412–2462 MHz only, with no 5 GHz band on any document, which independently confirms it. Bluetooth hardware appears in the FCC paperwork but no Genie document describes any Bluetooth control, so we record its role as setup or an internal sensor link with the exact function unknown. Every platform connection runs between Genie's servers and the platform's; nothing documents a way to reach it on your own network.[16]
What it can do[18]
You can tell it to
- Open/close
It reports
- Contact state
Whether each platform's automations and routines can use it — not just whether its app shows it.
| What it does | Google Home | Alexa | SmartThings | Home Assistant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Open/close | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it |
| Contact state | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it |
Platform documentation: Amazon Alexa — automation engine ceiling (eight terms observed; residue inconclusive by refusal) (2026-09-01), Google Home — automation engine ceiling (2026-09-01), Home Assistant — automation engine ceiling (2026-08-29), SmartThings — automation engine ceiling (2026-09-01)
- Home Assistant: Home Assistant's own integration page states there is "no position control. You can open or close the door, but you cannot stop it at a specific position", and that the integration is cloud-polling every 15 seconds with no local option — so door state can lag a real-world change by up to that interval.
Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.
Subscription reality[12]
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription for core function, and Genie says so plainly: 'The Aladdin Connect app is free to use, with no additional fees or monthly charges!' Alexa, Google and SmartThings are all free. THE EXCEPTION IS THE HOME ASSISTANT PATH, and it is a real paid gate even though the money does not go to Genie: Home Assistant's own documentation states the integration 'requires an active Home Assistant Cloud subscription, since the integration authenticates through it'. So a Home Assistant household pays a recurring third-party fee to talk to a device the vendor otherwise gives away for free — an unusual arrangement worth naming rather than burying.
Maintenance reality
- Batteries: The door control module is mains-powered. The wireless door position sensor is battery-powered; Genie does not publish a battery life figure that could be verified.
- Works without the internet: Inconclusive — we read the vendor's own material and it does not answer this either way. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
- Everything about this opener runs through Genie's cloud. Lose your internet and the app, voice control and door status all stop — Genie's own troubleshooting describes a flashing green light for exactly that case, where the module still reaches your Wi-Fi but cannot reach Genie. Your wall button and RF remotes keep working normally. Genie never says whether anything keeps working over your home network alone, so we make no claim either way. Two details we could not settle from Genie's own material: what actually ships in the box for this model, and whether an older Genie door sensor works with the newer module.
Security updates[20]
Genie publishes no security-update support date for this model. That is a gap in what the manufacturer has published, not evidence either way — some makers declare a support period and some say nothing at all.
Verified absence. Genie publishes Aladdin Connect support, FAQ and installation material and no security-update period, end-of-support policy or regulatory security declaration anywhere in it. Recorded as a checked absence on a garage-door controller, where the horizon question is the same as the myQ shelf's and gets the same silence. Recheck condition: a Genie security or compliance page, or a UK PSTI statement of the kind Chamberlain publishes for its European SKUs.
The catch
In January 2024 Genie replaced the plumbing behind Aladdin Connect and remotely switched off the old version. Users report their doors simply stopping in February 2024 without having changed anything at all — no app update, no new hardware, no action on their part. The Home Assistant integration broke, failed to load in Home Assistant 2024.7, and came back only under Genie's own control, with a Genie employee as its maintainer and a requirement that you hold a paid Home Assistant Cloud subscription to sign in. That is the shape of the risk here: not a maker announcing it is dropping support, but a maker changing its own plumbing and everything downstream falling over. It is also worth knowing that the widely repeated story about Aladdin Connect changing hands in 2023 is false — there was no sale in either direction, and Overhead Door has owned Genie throughout. What actually happened in that window was the changeover, which is a better reason to be cautious than the imaginary one. Two smaller things: there is no Apple Home support and no evidence there ever was, despite frequent claims otherwise; and it is 2.4 GHz only, which Genie states explicitly.
Who it's for
Alexa, Google Home or SmartThings households wanting cheap retrofit garage control at $49.99, including on non-Genie openers — Genie names Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Craftsman, Linear, Marantec, Overhead Door, Stanley and Wayne Dalton, requiring openers made after 1993-01-01 with photo-eye sensors. It handles up to three doors on one module, which is unusual at this price, and Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery is well supported. It also documents the pre-close audible and visual warning that federal rule requires, which several competitors do not — a genuine point in its favour on a crushing-hazard device. It is the wrong buy for Apple Home households, who get Siri Shortcuts and nothing more. Wrong for Home Assistant users unwilling to pay for Home Assistant Cloud, since that is now the only sanctioned path. Wrong for anyone who needs local control or Matter, neither of which exists here. And wrong for a one-piece garage door, a pre-1993 opener, or a 5 GHz-only network.

- [1] Chain established from primary sources: Sanwa Holdings' own investor page lists Overhead Door Corporation at 'investment ratio: 100.00%' (www.sanwa-hldgs.co.jp/english/group/overseas.html); Overhead Door's brands page is headed 'Overhead Door Corporation | A Sanwa Holdings Company', lists The Genie Company, and cites 'Innovations like Genie Aladdin Connect' as its own (ohdcorporation.com/brands/); the Aladdin Connect iOS app lists Seller: Overhead Door Corporation with a 2026 Genie Company copyright, and app-store seller entities transfer on a business sale; FCC grantee code B8Q resolves to The Genie Company / Overhead Door on all Aladdin Connect filings including 2026 grants. Genie's press archive (geniecompany.com/genie-press-releases) runs unbroken from the 2015-09-04 launch to a 2025-10-06 release, with no divestiture and no acquisition of the line — the only acquisition is Genie BUYING BenchSentry in 2021. The likely origin of the error is that Overhead Door is Genie's PARENT, compounded by a real 2023 Genie/Chamberlain event that was litigation, not a transaction., verified 2026-07-19Backs: Product identity

The ALKT1-R and ALKT1-RB are absent from Genie's catalogue. FCC grants B8QALDCM2 (door control module gen 2, granted 2026-06-05) and B8QALDPS2 (position sensor gen 2, granted 2026-05-29) confirm the generation change against originals granted 2015-06-17.

- [3] store.geniecompany.com showed $49.99 with an Add to cart button, 'In Stock! Usually ships within 24 hours', the page's own product data for search engines marking it in stock, and the store's stock data showing 60 on hand with no overselling allowed. Amazon (B0GV57H4YQ) showed In Stock, $49.99, sold and shipped by Amazon. An important note on method: an initial read of the page reported 'Sold out' — wording the store's template puts on every product page, contradicted by both the stock data and the page's own product data for search engines. The sibling StealthDrive 7155-TKV genuinely IS sold out despite a price rendering on its page, which is the inverse trap. Home Depot and Lowe's blocked automated readers outright, and no retailer price was obtained. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19Backs: Price, Market availability
- [4] A csa-iot.org query for 'Aladdin' returned 'No Entries Found'. The result was calibrated three ways: a negative control ('zzzqqqxyznotaproduct') returned No Entries Found, proving the filter rejects; a positive control ('Nanoleaf') returned only Nanoleaf products, proving the filter matches; and a query for 'Genie' returned ONLY 'Pin Genie, Inc. DBA Lockly' — a company whose name merely contains Genie — which a broken search could not produce. The registry's own company filter list of roughly 800 entries contains no Overhead, Genie or Aladdin. Zero CSA products of any kind (Matter, Zigbee, Aliro) from this manufacturer. DISCLOSED ANOMALY: multi-word queries returned loose token-OR matches with unrelated products and were NOT treated as evidence in either direction. ⊕ Run again on 2026-08-20 — the entry's own control method, repeated by us, so the whole claim is checked afresh rather than merely linked. A registry search for Aladdin returns "No Entries Found". A positive control the same day: a search for Nanoleaf returns twelve Nanoleaf Matter products and nothing else, which proves the registry really runs the search rather than handing back an unfiltered page — so the empty result is a real negative, not a search that never ran. Second, differently-constructed term: a search for Genie returns Pin Genie, Inc. DBA Lockly plus unrelated Tuya thermostats, and no Overhead Door, Genie Company or Aladdin entry of any kind, reproducing the loose-token anomaly this entry already discloses. Nothing about the recorded value changes. — Checked a certification register, verified 2026-08-20Backs: Protocols
- [5] Genie replaced the connection its app uses on 2024-01-23 with app v6.0 shipping 2024-01-24; the old connection was switched off remotely and users report doors ceasing to work in February 2024 without any action on their part. The community integration broke; Home Assistant core's version failed to load in 2024.7 (issue #120623) and the rewrite required OAuth credentials users could not obtain (issue #120024). Current state, from Home Assistant's own records: the aladdin_connect integration in home-assistant/core lists as its maintainer @swcloudgenie — a Genie employee — with requirement genie-partner-sdk==1.0.11. THE PAID GATE, quoted verbatim from home-assistant.io/integrations/aladdin_connect/: 'An active Home Assistant Cloud subscription, since the integration authenticates through it' and 'A Home Assistant Cloud subscription is required for authentication.' — Read what the other company publishes, verified 2026-07-19
- [6] Genie's manual states verbatim: 'A white light will flash and an audible beep will sound as an indication that the door is about to move when commanded by the Aladdin Connect or other compatible app(s).' The FAQ describes a 5-second warning period. This is the required behaviour under 16 CFR 1211 §1211.14 for unattended closing, and it is documented here where several competing products in this build document no pre-close warning at all. HONEST LIMIT: no explicit UL 325 statement appears in any primary vendor document that could be reached — the claim appears only in retailer copy — so UL 325 compliance itself is recorded as UNVERIFIED even though the observed warning behaviour matches what the rule requires. The Devanco-hosted 39142R installation manual PDF downloaded but resisted text extraction and would likely close this gap. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19
- [7] Genie's own 23-partner list includes 'Siri Shortcuts' and does NOT include Apple Home or HomeKit. No evidence was found that a HomeKit-enabled Aladdin Connect model ever shipped, so the widely repeated premise of a HomeKit model that was later withdrawn is UNSUBSTANTIATED and is deliberately recorded as an absence with no removal date rather than as a removal we could not date. Genie's support position is that there is no time frame for adding HomeKit. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-20Backs: Apple Home compatibility
- [8] Genie's FAQ states verbatim: 'Your door control module is only compatible on 2.4 GHz networks... The door control module is not compatible with 5 GHz networks.' Independently confirmed by FCC grant B8QALDCM, which authorises 2412–2462 MHz only with no UNII/5 GHz band on any filing. Bluetooth hardware appears in FCC exhibits (2402–2480 MHz at 0.0008 W) but no vendor document describes a Bluetooth control path, so its function is recorded as unknown. Z-Wave is recorded as no-evidence-found rather than confirmed absent, since the Z-Wave Alliance registry was not separately queried. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-07-19
- [9] aplusgaragedoor.com/blog/buying-guides/smart-garage-door-opener-comparison-2026/ asserts under a 'Matter Protocol Support' heading that 'all three platforms have native Matter support', naming myQ, Aladdin Connect and HomeKit. Refuted by the CSA filtered negative above: there are zero Genie/Overhead Door entries and zero Chamberlain entries, so the claim is false for at least two of its three subjects. No certificate ID is cited and Genie's own materials never mention Matter. Recorded as a named rejected source, and noted as dangerous precisely because the same article is directionally correct about cloud dependence — being right about one thing is what gets a fabrication believed., verified 2026-08-20Backs: Protocols
- [10] IFTTT support is UNRESOLVED: ifttt.com is JS-rendered and served a byte-identical shell for the aladdin_connect and philips_hue slugs, so no service content could be read, and IFTTT is absent from Genie's own partner list — the field is deliberately not populated. Whether the January 2024 cutover forced users to re-register is UNKNOWN; the cutover is well documented but no primary source states a re-registration requirement, so it is not asserted. The ALKT2-R2's box contents are UNKNOWN because the current product page still carries the previous wired kit's contents while advertising wireless installation. Sensor 39279R cross-compatibility with the new module is UNKNOWN given the architecture change. Also noted: two live vendor sites disagree on generation — smarthomeconnectedgarage.com still presents ALKT1-R/ALKT1-RB as current with no cart control, while store.geniecompany.com sells only ALKT2-R2 — and Genie's smart-home partners page carries a 2024 copyright while listing Home Assistant as a partner, so that page may lag., verified 2026-07-19

Price and availability unchanged. The smart-home list on the same page names Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, Alarm.com, Clare Controls, Brilliant, Control4 and Yonomi — which re-confirms all three platforms rated as fully working, from Genie's own page, and equally re-confirms the two that are not: **Apple HomeKit and Home Assistant appear nowhere on Genie's own list**, which is why Apple stays recorded as not supported and Home Assistant stays partial on its community and paid-cloud route rather than being promoted. Subscription re-verified from the vendor's own words: 'The Aladdin Connect app is free to use, with no additional fees or monthly charges!' — matching the recorded answer of no subscription.

Outcome: nothing moved. ⚠ A stated limit: the January 2024 cloud cutover recorded in the service note — the event that moved Home Assistant to partial and that makes a paid Home Assistant Cloud subscription necessary to sign in — was not re-checked at its own sources that day; it is a historical event on the record, and what was re-verified here is that Genie's current platform list still excludes Home Assistant, which is consistent with it. — Re-checked this against its sources, verified 2026-08-20Backs: Research status

- [17] Our own assessment of what this product provides to other devices, 2026-08-20. Genie DOES sell a wirelessly-paired accessory that would establish a provider capability — the Aladdin Connect Door Position Sensor, which store.geniecompany.com describes as communicating "wirelessly to the Aladdin Connect Smart Garage Door Controller", battery-powered on a CR2450, with the kit able to "handle up to three doors with the purchase of additional sensors". 🔴 BUT THE SAME PAGE SCOPES IT OUT OF THIS RECORD: "Please note this is only compatible with our first version of the Aladdin Connect (39142R)".
