IOT innovation moves very quickly and Genie’s cloud infrastructure for managing devices quickly became outdated. The Genie Garage Door ecosystem also needed some backend upgrades/refactoring and API integrations written in the latest and greatest programming languages.
We helped Genie migrate to Amazon Web Services for their IOT eco-system. Our work also included integrating Genie with the Google Home API, improving the management application, and creating a cloud module for more efficient data handling. Additionally, the code was refactored to maintain compatibility with previous versions.
Our team developed a custom platform working side by side with Genie Garage Door’s team to deliver outstanding results.
Genie enters the Smart Home realm with the Aladdin Connect® app, empowering homeowners to remotely manage their largest entry point.
Genie offers various Smart Home products for garage Wi-Fi upgrades and seamless integration into existing Smart Home setups. Partnering with leading home automation companies, Genie ensures flexibility, allowing homeowners to seamlessly incorporate their garage into their preferred Smart Home platform.
We used IaC (Infrastructure as code) which are tools that allow to create infrastructure in the cloud. In our case, we used CDK, a tool that allows developers to create resources in AWS cloud services. We also worked in Monorepos. Using orchestrators or dependency managers such as Rush.js / Inversify js our team facilitated the management of dependencies and improved the modularity of Genie’s code.
