Hi @Robert Bartenstein,
To fix this you can go back to the original setup for Google (the screen where you give Google your Aladdin Connect Login info and set the PIN). On that screen you can set a new PIN and as long as you remember it , it will work. If you need any more help, please call us at 1-866-599-4995.
Hi Bradley,
Thank you for your interest in using Google with your Aladdin Connect. You will need to download both the Google Home and Google Assistant Apps. Once you are logged into both Apps you will link to the Aladdin Connect App through Google Assistant. Here are the instructions:https://www.geniecompany.com/data/products/aladdinconnect/Smart-Home-Voice-Control-Instructions_Google.pdf , and if you scroll to the second page there are screen shots to walk you through the steps. If you need more assistance we can walk you through this over the phone at 1-866-599-4995. Thank you!
Hi Robb B,
If you are referring to Google Assistant in order to setup and link to Aladdin Connect you will need to be logged in to both the Google Home and Google Assistant App, and you will link to the Aladdin Connect custom skill through the Google Assistant App, instructions with screenshots can be found here; https://www.geniecompany.com/data/products/aladdinconnect/Smart-Home-Voice-Control-Instructions_Google.pdf
Thank you for this. Really helpful.
I have an Aladdin Connect opener, and also have the app on my phone. I also have Google Home devices, and that app too. I tried to follow your instructions to link Google to Aladdin Connect, but they do not match Google Home’s app. There is no “updates” button in the app. I have also attempted to link a service I have already set up, but Aladdin Connect is not listed in the the available services. It seems more work on integration needs to be done.
