The Smart Garage Control Hub functions as a communications bridge utilizing a Cypress/Espressif SoC. Technical specifications indicate the hardware operates on a 2.4GHz 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi stack paired with a multi-frequency RF transmitter (310, 315, 390 MHz). Power requirements are listed as a 5V/1A Micro-USB input, which shows sensitivity to voltage sags.
Structural monitoring is achieved via a MEMS accelerometer located within the door sensor, powered by a CR2450 battery. Performance metrics confirm a loud audible warning signal is emitted prior to door closure, in compliance with standard safety protocols. Aggregated data reveals the hub uses the closed-loop Security+ 2.0 RF protocol, which restricts hardware twinning or third-party repair.
Operational modes include:
- Commissioning Mode: Bluetooth LE pairing.
- Active Mode: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi monitoring.
- Safety Mode: Audible pre-close warning.
Users experiencing connectivity volatility due to cloud-only API restrictions may find the Genie Aladdin Connect more suitable, as it offers a different approach to physical door position verification.
This unit is classified as a dedicated controller within the dedicated home automation controllers category.
