Looks good. I installed longer cord on mine. This was easier than adding new outlet for me!

@handydadtv 4 ай бұрын

I was thinking of doing that! Did you cut an extension cord or buy an aftermarket cord?

Thanks for content! How was wiring into unit head, any issues or frustrations with instructions?

@handydadtv 4 ай бұрын

Really straightforward. The wall control is polarized (I found out the hard way but it was easy to fix). But the SafeTBeams aren’t polarized.

@@handydadtv can you do a video of your garage doors running up and down once? if not, that’s OK.

Is a belt drive the best way to go ? Should it have a DC motor too ?

@handydadtv 3 ай бұрын

I prefer belt drive because they’re quieter. No preference on the motor.

I thought you could wire an open close button from the main unit over towards the door. That's what I did, but I have an older genie unit. Should still do the same.

Wall mounted was quieter, but not by much.

Have you tried to integrate with Home Assistant? I haven't found a way to make it work.

@handydadtv 4 ай бұрын

The Aladdin integration is temporarily disabled while they revamp the API. alerts.home-assistant.io/alerts/aladdin_connect_2/

@vegaswayne247 4 ай бұрын

The Aladdin integration is currently not working in Home Assistant. Genie claims that it will be available "soon". If you want it to work now a dry contact relay and a contact sensor will work with these models.

@handydadtv 4 ай бұрын

Yes, you are correct. I believe it is a temporary setback but Genie will continue to be friendly to local home automation.

@david9192 4 ай бұрын

You mounted your opener too high and that will cause a downforce on the top section when it goes to close the door and may bend the top section as it closes if it comes in contact with a obstacle and that also is why the other installer put an angle reinforcement across the top of the section.

@handydadtv 4 ай бұрын

I followed the directions and measured the placement based on the highest arc of the door. Time will tell.
