iOS 26.6 not compatible

I recently updated my phone to iOS 26.6 and since then the Orbit app is not opening or closing my garage doors. However, I am still receiving open/close notifications when the doors are opened or closed via other methods.

What happened?

This app has been working great for 5 years or so. Updated last week and now neither garage door functions with the app. Way to go. Hope you fix it soon.

Bad App

I hope the opener works better than this app. It freezes up every time I try entering the emailed verification code.

Doesn't function, terrible design and infrastructure

Awful app. Doesn't work, glitches, not updated, list goes on. Makes me want to return my opener.
