core: Genie Aladdin integration broken

@pbelevich: I have it working in HA - so far so good. Unfortunately, I haven’t paid too much attention to this add-on, and just realized it needs more love than just fixing the back end… it needs an Integration update, as it sits, it still requires the .yaml config 😦

I don’t see an assignee for this issue or a code owner - wondering if our integration has been stranded? Anyone know who we should ping from the HA team?

You need to link your Aladdin Connect account in the SmartThings app. Then link SmartThings to HomeAssistant and you should see your garage door again.

Confirmed the update is working well for me! Thanks @pbelevich for updating that Python library.

I’m not sure if HA would have auto-updated or not, but I upgraded to core-2022.2.1 and after restarting, everything worked (although it did create a 2nd set of Devices, so I had to update all of my integrations and then delete the old devices).

@mpv1953 Search cover in your Devices and see if you had an extra set of doors created when it updated, like I did.

If anyone feels like writing some Python

I feel, here is the PR with the fix(I tested it with my own door and my own credentials and it works fine):

https://github.com/shoejosh/aladdin-connect/pull/6

I wanted to test it with HA(by replacing the python files with mine), but I don’t know how to enable the door in HA, because HA says that “This entity is currently unavailable and is an orphan to a removed, changed or dysfunctional integration or device.”

Ok thanks for the help I really appreciate it , I was able to find the new entity.

Go to Configuration Go to Devices & Services Go to Entities Search entities for “cover” You will probably see new covers that are part of the "aladdin_connect Integration — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub<#58946 (comment)https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/58946#issuecomment-1063337471>, or unsubscribehttps://github.com/notifications/unsubscribe-auth/AQWUOEXF5R5MQGCSYY2FVRTU7EDBPANCNFSM5HGTEAOA.

I didn’t have to do any updates that were specific to aladdin, so I can’t help you with that. But from my understanding aladdin made changes on their side that requires us (end users) to reassociate new covers for it to work in HA.

The update worked for me. The objects on my dashboard showed up as orphaned, then I removed them and added the new door objects by searching my devices for cover.xxx

@pbelevich : Great work! I tested the library, looks to be working for my door as well. Later today I’ll give it a try on HA - really don’t see why it wouldn’t work though.

Now the problem will be making things configurable for both systems until they get everyone moved over… Maybe HA guys make a configuration switch in HA? I guess that wouldn’t work to well with a library, unless we add a configuration switch for picking the site…

I received a response from Genie:

Thank you for your recent inquiry. Here is the information you requested. The Engineers have responded back to us concerning your question. Here is their response: This is a crowdsourced platform that uses local integration, a direct network connection to the device in the home. Looking at their integrations, SmartThings is on the list. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ The customer will need to have a SmartThings hub, then they can connect Home Assistant to that hub and then to our device through SmartThings. We are not sure that we can support with any issues arising from the home-assistant to smarthome. It is agreed that the primary support should be the platform, in your case from Home assistant and likely SmartThings.

I hope this clears this issue up.
