Don’t just open your garage door with your smartphone. Automate it. Tailwind can close your garage door as you leave, open it when you arrive – all automatically. No buttons. No keypads. Just drive. The Tailwind app allows you to open, close, or check the status of your garage doors from anywhere using your mobile device, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and our iQ3 smart garage door controller (purchased separately). Check out the list of things you can do with Tailwind: Automatically open the door as you approach Automatically close the door as you leave (if you forget to close it) Detect which vehicle you’re driving so it knows which door to open or close (can even work with motorcycles, ATVs, etc)* Automatically close all your garage doors at night, even if someone opens them again! Receive customize alerts telling you who opened the garage door and when See a history log of all activity for the last 30 days Create alert schedules so you only receive alerts at certain times of the day Unlimited users * may require optional Tailwind Vehicle Sensor

Mostly Great

I picked this up for automating my garage door. It works well. No issues with the door opening/closing as we approach or leave our driveway. As a system administrator by day and general programmer for funsies, I found this app and execution of to be really well planned. My only complaint would be the massive battery drain for IOS users due to “always on” location services, but like you, I was mostly aware of this prior to purchase. I would recommend this to a friend that didn’t want a monthly subscription

Low latency, reliable.

Overall this is a very well polished app and device. My only hiccup so far was not being able to paste my password from a password manager during a password reset. Other than that, for the past week, my garage door has been much smarter, and I continue to be just as dumb. Luckily I don’t have to worry about leaving it open anymore. It just shuts itself.Feature request!Use location services to allow me to disable notifications while I’m home. The schedule feature is cool, but I’m not on a set schedule.

Totally unreliable

After years of fairly good reliability, the team made a big update to the app in Aug 2025 that seems to basically ruined it. I was signed out after installing it, which is mildly annoying, but the real trouble started after that. The iOS widgets I rely on daily no longer work. Yet worse is being frequently signed out of the app and having to re-authenticate to access my doors. Most recently when I was signed out for the umpteenth time both of my garage doors were deleted from the app. This simply isn’t worth it. The product used to be passably reliable, but is now worthless. Super frustrating to have to hunt down a hide-a-key to get into my house after relying on Tailwind for years. No longer.

Great addition to our home

We had some gear stolen from our garage when we failed to close the door one evening. I got Tailwind soon after and it has been great. We have little kids in car seats so my hands are always full when we walk from the garage to the back door. Tailwind reminds me the door is open...it’s such a help.There are times the door is “offline” but overall a really good service.

1. Optimize the triggering stability of the automatic door opening/closing function 2. Add more comprehensive sensor automatic repair functions 3. Fix some known issues to improve user experience
