Commercial Grade Door Sensor - included if you select a kit with a door sensor
The #1 thing a smart garage door controller needs to get right is reporting the door position. You don't want false alerts or door automations accidentally triggering on windy days or when it's cold outside or when the sensor battery is dying, or when an insect crawls across a camera lens or laser beam. Tailwind uses commercial-grade, sealed, all aluminum door sensors to ensure rock-solid door position information.Choose the sensor option that suits your use case based on the SmartFit Guide and installation video mentioned above.
Patented Auto-Open
Experience the luxury of patented technology that automatically and securely opens the door as you arrive home. Just drive. Even multiple vehicles, doors, drivers and locations are no problem. Tailwind handles it all with ease. Optional vehicle sensor is REQUIRED for iPhone users to have the auto open and close feature. Android users DO NOT require a vehicle sensor if their phone is paired with their vehicle.
Works With a Bunch of Stuff
Works with Apple HomeKit, Siri, CarPlay (via HomeKit), Android Auto, Google Home, The Google Assistant, Alexa, Smart Things, IFTTT, Home Assistant, Hubitat, Crestron, Control4, and a local control API allowing you to create your own integrations. More integrations are coming soon! (Yes, while others are reducing interoperability we are adding it)
Night Mode
Night Mode monitors your garage door all night, and will close your door if it opens. This makes your home safer. “One and done” solutions like “Close the door at 9 PM” do NOTHING if someone leaves the door open at 9:05. Night Mode automatically protects your home at night without affecting daytime operation. And of course you can configure what time "Night" begins, what time it ends, and the delay before closing.
Auto-Close
If you’re distracted when you leave home and you forget to close the garage door, auto-close will detect this and close the door for you.
Awesome Sharing Options
Tailwind gives you more ways to share access than any other solution. Share access with an unlimited number of people. Schedule, restrict or revoke access at any time. Control event history visibility and notifications. “Cross-share” with other Tailwind households.
Door Disable
Need to work around the yard or in the garage and you don't want any automations or shared access users opening / closing the door? No problem. Disable it until a certain time or until you decide you want control restored again.
Works when the internet is down
Unlike other solutions that rely on cloud connectivity, if your internet goes down Tailwind will still allow you to control the door as long as your phone is on your Home WiFi network.
Notifications that tell you more
A notification that says "Garage Door Opened" just isn't good enough. With Tailwind, activity notifications tell you who or what operated the door if it was done through our system. For example "Alexa opened garage door 3" or "Jerry closed West Garage". Notifications can be spoken / verbal "your garage door just opened" or the usual notification sound of your smartphone / smart device.
Auto-Close Timer
Want to make sure your door is closed any time of the day or night? Set a timer to notify you if the door is left open for a pre-determined period of time or optionally close it.
Expandable
We've tested Tailwind with 300 doors on a single account, so it can handle whatever you throw at it.
* Patented. May require Moko Technology H2 Vehicle Sensor. Please check the Vehicle Sensor page to determine if you need any for your intended use. Explanation for why it is required for iPhones found here
** You should always close your garage door yourself. The Tailwind auto-close feature is meant to be an "in case you forget" feature, providing extra peace of mind. Like all internet-based communications, there may be rare instances when communications between the mobile app and garage device are temporarily down, and auto-close might not work if that interruption lasts for an extended period of time.

NOTE: Please check for lifting cable brackets at the bottom edges of your garage door where the lifting cables may be attached. If lifting cable brackets are present and they glide up / down over the J-track they will collide with the sensor in this kit. Please order the above door or universal door kit if any part of your door glides up and down and covers the J-track.
