Easy to follow instructions! I just set mine up and it took me about 40 mins from opening the box to testing the functionality. *TIP* If you are installing the garage door controller near the garage door opener unit on the garage ceiling, you will connect the 2 wires coming from the garage door controller directly into the same slots where the existing wall controller wires are plugged into. This enables you to still use your existing wall controller just as you did before having the Aladdin Connect. This wasn't clear in the instructions and saved me a lot of headache knowing that before hand.

Yea, I just always put them on top of the operator, and wire them with the wall controller wires.

I'm about to install this after work. I plan on mounting it above, near the unit (powerhead) on the ceiling. It told me to wire it to the unit (powehead) and then wire it to the button that originally operates it. Is this correct? Also, how do I know which slots on the powerhead to put the wires in since I have 2 doors and I don't know which is which? The video shows him putting it in 3 and 4, not 1 and 2. TIME STAMP 15:29

The app works just fine, but my primary reason for installing this was to be able to use Google Home to operate the door. When I first installed it they would wisely allow you to disable the PIN. however they seemed to remove that feature sometime this year. Now if I want to use it I have to announce my PIN to my house guests and/or every one in my car. This is a huge security flaw.

Loving this upgrade to my home automation. Only thing that I can think of to make it even better is to add a radius rule to the app. This means the door will open automatically when your smartphone crosses a desired radius of the house. Then it would be KING!

Yes, this would work. You would need one of the Aladdin Connect RetroFit kits, and then two additional Door Position Sensors. This would allow you to operate all three doors from the Aladdin Connect app.

Kinda weird... I installed a new Opener, replaced an old genie with a 3053 in early 2024. I was pleasantly surprised that all my old controls worked with the New Opener. The outside keypad and every control I had no matter the age, programmed and worked with the new one. Cool that I could download the app and use my smartfone too. Until last month. My smartfone wanted to update the app (or the app told the phone it needed to be updated). So, of course I did the update. Over the next 3 weeks, I would get locked out of my garage and nothing worked. I would unplug the opener and it would reset and it was OK for a couple days. Then it would shut down again. I could always get it to work from the button inside, but would not reconnect with my phone unless I unplugged it and plugged it back in. I came to the conclusion it started because of the update. I soon found out that anytime I used an old control (4 cars), that was when it messed up. Keypad and some other controls were 20 years old, those were the culprits. I bought a new outside keypad and put the older controls away, and have not had a failure in 2 weeks. I looked on-line for any similar instances and found none. Hope this helps someone.

The video did not address which wire goes where. Here, they show the wires going into 3 and 4, which is fine, but which wire goes in 3 and which in 4? The instructions say that the wires are polarity sensitive, but maybe not. My isn't working and I switched them and still not working. I hope there wasn't a mini fuse or something that I need to reset. Also, the guy in the video definitely didn't strip 1/4 inch of wire - more like 3/4. Maybe I need to strip more as the wire isn't reaching where it is supposed to go.
