Wow never seen one like this... I’m absolutely buying this for my garage...
Really impressed with this! Thanks for the review
Love how this one functions, seems smooth and has just the right extras to make it worth investing in.
a trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.
@Maddox Ulises definitely, been using Flixzone for years myself :)
Great opener. I've had a smart opener for several years. LiftMaster / Chamberlain.
I’m in the Philippines and I’m sold after watching this video. Thanks!!
Great Video!
Getting one
I
Great Video. I'm building a home. I asked my builder for a Chamberlin, his garage door guy suggested this instead so went with suggestion
Getting one installed this week. I’m done with traditional overhead garage door openers. Time to take back all that storage space occupied by the unsightly rail system.
How is it so far?
Can you still operate this opener with a standard normally open push button? There are terminals marked BWC that look like it might be just for that purpose. I think BWC stands for "Basic Wired Connection"
Very nice video! I can see why Genie sent you a this motor. You had a MyQ hub on their 2028. Not a cardinal sin, but it's smart on Genie's part to promote Aladdin Connect. I love installing these motors. In fact I just a did a versus video between this motor and the LiftMaster 8500W. I'm curious if you have had experience with the LiftMaster product. I prefer Genie's motor. But the MyQ wifi does have some advantages. Your thoughts?
Im reaching out for my issue. We have this unit, but it hasn't closed smoothly. On Sunday the right side, the same side the only spring is on was higher than the left, and we had a jam, and the take up wires on both sides, unspooled. The tech I called reccommended dual springs that makes total sense. No the door opens smoithly, without hesitation and more importantly, it ipens evenly. I feel it needs dual springs, not one on one side. Any input from you techs?
Does this work with Ring?
Hello Mr, can you have it set up with Alexa the way that Alexa will announce "garage door opened" or "closed". I am currently doing this with contact sensors and Alexa routine announce etc. But I will be replacing my whole garage opener and I'm looking for something that is the most compatible as possible with Amazon
4:34 When I heard a faint "DADDY" I thought it was for me lol
Getting ready to build. My ceilings are 14 feet. My garage doors are 12 feet. Can I still have my doors hug the ceiling? Or do I need to go 13 foot high doors?
Q: What happens if you lose a spring while its in operation? Does it hold it up or drop it slowly??
Well, this garage door comes with all the bell and whistles of a modern day device (wifi, app, Alexa, 3D installation app). It is as easy as it gets when it comes to installing a garage door opener if you're a handy man but I would hire a professional if you're not a handy man. The problem with this Genie is that the manual and even installation app lack the details and did not emphasis important points before installation. A nice big yellow bold note "BEFORE YOU INSTALL" Points would be nice.
Here comes the con:
1. You must install EVERYTHING including the ground sensor for the opener to work or it WILL NOT work. I tried to test the unit before mounting on the ceiling and it would not work.
2. You MUST program the close and open distance before using the wall mount controller. After the programing, do a complete open and close run for the motor to test the tension of your garage door.
3. The Plastic UP/DOWN/PROGRAM button are horrible and cheap. My PROGRAM button would not click due to the a defect plastic button. I had to remove the shell where the real buttons are and program from there. It's easier to do it with the shell off.
It took me and another person 2 days (6 hours day) to install this due to the lack of details in the manual and the lack of important emphasis points in the manual.
Ty!
How has it held up?
Coming from a door tech, these operators are awesome if your door runs perfectly. If your door doesn’t run perfectly or have the horizontal guide raised slightly then these operators are going to give you a lot of issues.
Yeah makes sense when the motor is only pulling from one side of the door. Makes you wonder why they haven’t come out with a tandem setup with a motor on each side. Cost I guess.
@@fernandopenah I see what you're saying but it actually wouldn't make a difference if there were motors rotating the shaft on both sides or not. When you install an operator like this on your door then you have to trust that gravity is going to pull the door down after it's been raised to it's too limit. These operators rely on there being constant tension on the cables
@@samuelletkeman Good point Samuel. I guess that's why commercial door openers use a gearbox and it is mechanically connected to the door through a sprocket and chain.
@@fernandopenah it's a shaft it makes no difference which side it's on
I noticed starting on @5:03 that the wall mounted garage opener looks like it is moving about? Is that normal and safe or it's just something with the install?
I just installed this unit and it does the same thing and I was wondering if it’s normal too.
You didn’t mention anything about how hard the installation is or how easy it is.
great review, have you been part of arlo beta app 3.0 and beyond? sounds promising that they will be releasing major updates!
An update for Arlo? No i haven't but they sure could use an update. I can't wait to try it out.
How many remotes does it come with? Is it capable of programming more than 3 vehicles?
Amazon has a few different packages. The one I bought came with one remote, but the remote has 3 separate programmable buttons. Installed my first opener last night. Installing the other one today, hopefully.
I can always add on more openers
I bought the garage door opener; but I'm having problem with the app. It's giving me a error message saying (door disabled). Do you know what's going on with that help please?
Hmm, that's odd. I haven't seen that message myself. You'll probably want to reach out to their customer service.
Price?
What was install like? Did you have to reinforce the wall behind the opener? Did you have to reroute power to the new opener location? Most people will not be putting one of these units into new construction, would be nice to know the challenges of installing before committing to purchase.
I had a pro come do the install. I also had an electrician come out to install a new outlet next to the new opener location.
@@SteveDOES so it seems like the channel should be called Steve doesn’t
9 months in: does it still work well? I can see a little wobble as it moves the door up/down. I wonder if it wears out etc.
Mine wobble too. I’ve heard its because of the rod and it’s normal. Not sure
@@brianbrink1421 I ended up buying it two years ago but when I installed it, I got an extra bracket and I mounted all corners of the operator. No wobble. Been working like a champ so far.
@@yarekk so u have a L bracket on both sides of the unit?
@@brianbrink1421 yeah, I got extra brackets (shelving brackets) from home depot and i have three corners of the operator mounted to studs, and the 4 corner that isn't mounted to the wall: that's the one that is grabbing the door shaft. It took a little bit of fiddling to make sure that the operator is "perfectly" aligned with the shaft so that I'm not forcing it in place, and trade the wobble for broken screws or studs... it runs real smooth though.
@@yarekk thanks. Will do.
@steve Does Does this work with Google home easily? To get the Chamberlin MyQ opener add-on to work with google home was a nightmare. There is some subscription thing you can add on now, but I dont need another subscription in my life, so to get it to work with google home I had to use IFTTT and a bunch of messing around to get it to work. I don't even know if I could replicate it again if my life depended on it. I want something that just natively works without a subscription.
What feature are you looking to use between the garage and Google Home? I'll test it for you.
@@SteveDOES I ended up buying the Genie Wall Mount/Jackshaft openr with Aladdin. It works natively well with my Google home. I just had to figure out what the commands were and I was set! This is wayyyy nicer than MyQ where you have to jump through a million hoops to get it to work without a subscription fee.
@@ThomasRodriguez Happy to hear that you like it.
@@ThomasRodriguez thank you for this information
I noticed that there is movement in your garage door motor. Is that normal?
Ordered one of these and had it installed by a professional, it seems to work fine but I notice the machine wobbles a bit from side to side as the door opens / closes. Is that normal or was it mounted incorrectly?
Hmm, mine doesn’t move at all.
@@SteveDOES I had a couple other people tell me theirs wobbles as well. It might have to do with how straight the shaft / spring on your garage door is
Just installed a genie yesterday. Mine wobbles as well. What gives?!?!
If it is $500 hope there is no extra yearly charge,, There was one company that does it..
Why haven't I heard of this before?? It's almost $500 that's why. Cool for sure but I don't see myself spending a 3x multiple for it.
Haha, yeah! This is definitely one of those high end products.
$500???????????
I spent $12 on a wifi smart switch relay, $20 on smartthings sensor and $25 for a wyze cam . Total of $57 to automate my garage door.
@@dnoland77 LInk to smart switch relay please? :)
@@Gremlin256 youtube would not allow my link. Go see TW HomeShow channel. His garage door videos have the link and instructions.
They cost $930 in Virginia
So it doesn't have a camera..?
I won't be getting this, it cost to much for it not to have a camera for live view...I'll stick to my Alcidae Garager2 and Craftsman garage door opener..I can open remotely, see live view footage , two way audio and get notifications when it's open or closed..
Because the Aladdin connect works with Brilliant, you have use of the Ring Spotlight cameras. Install in the garage, pair with the garage door opener, manage through the Brilliant app. You now have live stream video :)
This wall mounted opener is part of Genie's Pro line series. If you're interested in making your current opener Smart check out their Aladdin Connect kit here on Amazon geni.us/Zu5z.
Make sure it's compatible with your opener before purchasing. You can check that here on Genie's website bit.ly/3tZ0s50
This is great until you have to replace the $335 module that controls the opener.
Thanks for tyrannical California Govt, you can no longer buy a garage door opener without a battery in it.
The horror!
I’d move asap
