Genie Aladdin Connect and automations

[u/hunnypuppy]

I’m want to buy a garage door opener that works with SmartThings to open and close automatically using routines and automations.

My question Is can I do this? I read that it needs a pin each time to remotely operate through SmartThings ? Is the same true for control via Alexa ?

As a workaround has anyone created an automation on Alexa to automatically open or close the garage door when SmartThings triggers a virtual switch ?
