RTI and The Genie Company Announce Garage Integration

Genie, the most recognized brand of smart garage door openers, and RTI, a leading control and automation manufacturer, announced a new integration today that allows Genie’s full line of Wi-Fi enabled garage door openers powered by Aladdin Connect to be controlled within RTI smart home control systems using RTI remotes, touch panels, and mobile apps.

RTI is an award-winning control and automation solution for smart home and commercial applications, with a global network of licensed dealers. The new Genie connection allows garage access to be controlled by the same system that controls lighting, climate, entertainment, security, and other smart home functions.

“The driveway and garage are primary home access points for most homeowners,” stated RTI Product Director Neal Ellsworth. “Adding control of Genie devices to the RTI system delivers an important layer of control convenience in this important area of the home.”

The integration with RTI enables scenes that provide a more intuitive home experience, such as turning on the driveway lights at night or notifying the homeowner if the garage door is left open. “We’re excited about this partnership with RTI, and the ability to offer our customers an elevated smart home experience.”

Genie’s whole line of dependable, whisper-quiet, Wi-Fi enabled smart garage door openers and controllers is Alexa and Google Home certified. Genie’s home garage door openers include an award-winning wall-mount model that improves garage aesthetics and incorporates an automated garage door lock for added security.
