Aladdin Connect Customer Insights

1. It would be great if we could add specific notification sounds instead of it using the standard phone sound, it will allow users to have a specific sound for the door going up, one for the door going down and one for other notifications.

2. Today, it actually failed in a way that was a security risk, by opening the door and recording the event history as failing to close the door based on a rule to close it if left open for an hour, when the door had already been closed manually an hour before.

3. As of now, I say STAY AWAY! **UPDATE: ** I finally got the door control module to connect to my WiFi router using the IP address method and all seems to be good, so far.

4. One thing that needs to be corrected (as far as I noticed anyway) is the battery holder in the door position sensor - its very weak.

5. I have been running into this issue where the buttons to press and hold for the open/close a garage door action do not respond after one door is opened/closed.

6. The commands are a little slow to respond through my phone, but I don't mind as long as it tells me that I had left my garage door open accidentally and that I can close it with my phone.

7. This app is very buggy, it does not update the status, but updates the status incorrectly at random times, even in the middle of night several hours after garage door is closed.

8. I got it to connect to my network "once" and then when I went to connect the door sensor to the main connect, it wouldn't see the door sensor.

9. Shared the app with my children so they could open and close the door using their phones, now the app doesn't even recognize my login and is constantly telling me it's unavailable.

10. I would also appreciate a feature that allows the control of notifications per door instead for the whole app.Ok app, but ugly and missing light control.

11. It still has trouble with knowing the position of the door when partially opened.I like it when it works, even though it's a bit slow in responding.
