After changing the API the home assistant plugin no longer works. When will the new API be integrated into home assistant? I purchased my genie garage door opener specifically because it hade a reliable home assistant integration. I need another garage door opener for another house and want to know if genie is going the chamberlain route of horrible home automation support or not.
Great read! I appreciate how the Genie Company makes smart home integration easy and convenient. Looking forward to more insights!
I am truly impressed by the smart home integration options offered by the Genie Company! It’s amazing how seamlessly their garage door openers can integrate with popular smart home platforms. This level of convenience and control is a game-changer for homeowners. I want to give kudos to the Genie Company for making life easier and more connected for all of us.
Siri Shortcuts helps w open and close but also needs HomeKit or further shortcuts. The ability for apple home to know when door opens for example to set other automations.
