Increasingly, Canadians are embracing smart home technology, with convenience and enhanced security driving the popularity and success. With advancing technology at our fingertips, our homes are being connected in ways we could only have dreamed of a few years ago. We can now connect numerous functions throughout the home to a single device, usually our phone. And in many cases, technology gives us increased piece of mind when we can’t be at home. 

More than seventy years ago, Genie® introduced the first mass-produced, radio-controlled garage door opener. Today, generations later, the brand continues to lead with smart home innovation. The Aladdin Connect® app lets homeowners control and monitor the most frequently used — and largest — entry point to their home, the garage door, from anywhere in the world.

Genie has a variety of smart home products to give your garage a Wi-Fi upgrade and incorporate it along with additional connected products into your existing smart home platform. By partnering with other top home automation companies, Genie provides maximum flexibility to the homeowner to incorporate their garage with other apps and products that are already working for them. 

Smart home. Smart investment.

Garage door openers are often overlooked amenities which can dramatically improve the value of your home. Connected garage door openers enhance home security, yes, and they also add value to your home. We have become accustomed to using tech in our everyday lives, and it’s no different when it comes to our homes. Convenience and tech integration are highly valued by today’s buyers, especially appealing to those interested in modern, connected living. 

Genie is one of the best known and trusted consumer brand names. Committed to innovation, it’s a market leader in design, safety and reliability. And as the official garage door opener of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Genie knows how to score touchdowns with its products. 

The ultimate in security and convenience 

How can Aladdin Connect give you convenience and security? You can create virtual keys for regular or scheduled access to authorized users, such as delivery or repair persons, cleaners, dog walkers, relatives, and friends. And no matter who you’ve given access to your garage; you remain in control by being able to remotely check the status of your door and grant access when you’re not even home. Imagine the ultimate in convenience,  being able to program your lights in your home to come on when the garage door opens. 

Genie has you covered by being able to connect to an array of integration partners, including leading camera brands and existing voice control, such as Alexa, Google, Siri, and Samsung SmartThings. You may even see savings, as some insurers may provide discounts for homes equipped with smart garage security. 

Genie gives busy homeowners peace of mind with real-time alerts and monitoring. Whether you prefer to install it yourself or enlist a professional dealer, having a Genie in your home has never been easier. With millions of Genie products in use across North America, it’s a brand you can trust.
