My experience included:
1. Random door opening triggers. Seems like a slight inconvenience with the ability to control open / close with the app, right? See #2.
2. Buggy app: connectivity errors, login authentication error (random sign outs), and non functioning open/close control.
The last straw occurred when my garage camera picked up motion activity while I was on vacation. I pulled up the clip, and my door opened by itself. I attempted the app and tried to close it, but had a "sorry, can't connect right now" error. I had to call my neighbor to assist.
TLDR: unreliable to the point that I reverted back to the 60yo technology that is the RF transmitter.

OT It even has a fan but app controlled. I wonder if I can rip it out and use w/ battery?
I have the newer version of Genie with WiFi built-in (I would assume this acts the same), and it connects to Home Assistant. I also connected it to SmartThings.
However, I found that connecting to Samsung SmartThings is more reliable than the Genie integration for some reasons (A few times Genie showed unavailable, while it's still online on my SmartThings), so I decided to just use SmartThings
edit: idk why my comment is messed up with the quote. tried editing but didnt work

I'm currently using Home Assistant (via MQTT) solely as a proxy for my OpenHAB instance to control my garage door.
Genie has actually published a new Python SDK for it as well: https://github.com/Genie-Garage/a...python-sdk (don't get too excited, though -- you need an API key to use it and so far they've only provided one to their partner Home Assistant and don't currently have a way for anyone else to request one - I emailed one of the devs and asked).

What about Shelly? I think that $10 device can open/close garage door using home assistant.
I do not have experience with it yet, but bought a bunch of their relays on thanks giving to try them out.
Hopefully someone in this forum will confirm if Shelly works with garage door.

Bought it primarily for the alerts letting me know when door was/is and has been left open.
As with all internet of things, if you have the ability to segment on your WiFi router, place it on its own separate vLan (separate restricted WiFi).
