Steps

  1. Register as an Aladdin Connect integration partner to get OAuth 2.0 client credentials — Genie moved the platform to OAuth-based partner access and retired the prior unauthenticated API.
  2. Use the official Genie-Garage/aladdin-python-sdk (AladdinConnectClient) as a reference implementation for the authorization code flow and door-control calls.
  3. Alternatively, use Home Assistant's built-in Aladdin Connect integration, which handles the OAuth flow via Home Assistant Cloud and exposes each door as a cover entity plus a battery-level diagnostic sensor.
  4. Poll for door state (open/opening/closed/closing); communication is cloud-based (roughly 15-second polling in the Home Assistant integration) with no local/LAN control.
  5. Call the open/close action against a specific door your authenticated account owns.
