The OpenGarage garage door opener is made by a company that offers you a way to open and close it with a smartphone app.

But that app doesn't work with my preferred home automation system, Home Assistant.

I had looked into the ratgdo Lee Hutchinson installed, and raved about, but hooking it up to my particular Genie / Aladdin system would have required installing limit switches.
