I “installed” the fixed python files onto my Home Assistant running 2022.2.3 and I can confirm it fixes the integration. Garage Door entity working now (It created a new entity with _2 at the end, so I had to delete the old one and rename the new one).
These fixed python files will get overwritten every time I upgrade HA, which is a pain, so hopefully this gets integrated with HA soon.
Could you share steps on updating these 2 files manually please?
This works for me now after it stopped working. Went into the docker core container to edit files but saw that API was already pointed to the AWS URL. Commented out “Cover” in configuration.yaml, rebooted, uncommented out “Cover”, rebooted and now it’s working.
I was unable to get this working and used the work around, where I created a smart things account and “integrated” Aladdin with my smart things app on my phone, and then integrated smart things into HA. I did not need a hub to do this either!
Thanks,
This is what I just did and now it works. Thanks!
I updated to the latest release 2022.3.1, commented out cover, rebooted, and uncommented cover and rebooted again. The garage doors are still unavailable. Were you using the smartthings workaround or direct integration?
Did you check to make sure it didn’t create another cover with a different name? or appended a number to your existing name?
I did use Smart Thing temporarily (it was super buggy by the way), but I deleted that integration once this comment out method worked.
Good call. I forgot to mention this part. Go to Configuration|Entities and search/filter for cover. If it worked, you should have n*2 entities.
Excellent, everything is working now: commented out cover, rebooted, search for cover entities, and removed all garage entities. Uncomented cover settings, and rebooted again. Thank you.
Understand this is an older thread, but could not find a more appropriate place to post.

I have been using Aladdin Connect with HA and Alexa successfully for about a year. I am pleased and it works well. My question may be better suited for an Alexa forum, not sure.
Would like to know how the Alexa skill can be modified. When I say, “Alexa open garage”. It goes through a whole routine asking for my Aladdin Connect password (which I have no problem with) then the opener beeps and flashes a few times then opens. Problem is in my Alexa routines there is no routine for “Open garage door”. Just wondering if anyone had insight to this…
Just out of curiosity what all is exposed with this integration? Sensors? Switches?
I am assume a cover switch, maybe a separate one for Open and Close.
Does it have a sensor for closed, open, closing, opening?
Anything else?
It looks like it is a ‘cover’ class device. You do have the ability to open, close, and see the status of open/closed.
So with the API changing tomorrow, has anyone been able to find out if we can still operate the cover via SmartThings after the update? I was using the Aladdin integration and it woks well, but the open/closed status seems to lag quite a bit compared to SmartThings. I know Genie is supposed to be working on a new official integration, but I don’t want to update my app until that happens or unless I know that SmartThings will still work.
