App and set up
The Tailwind app, free for iOS and Android, handles set up of its smart features and allows you to control the garage door. The process includes creating an account, logging on to your Wi-Fi network and finding your address. The app walks you through each part.
The app is less slick looking than Chamberlain’s MyQ, but appearances aren’t everything. The Tailwind app is intuitive and makes it easy to do the main task: open or close the garage. You can also easily get to the customizable features.
You can use the app to see whether the door is opened or closed, and can open or close the door by tapping the garage door icon (the image of the door shows its current state).
You can enable notifications that let you know when the door opens or closes, and you can even have it tell you if you’ve left the door open. You also can give other people access to the garage door as well (they will need to create an account and download the app).
The app has several ways to customize the controller, such as changing the number of pulses that happen when you open or close the door. If you’re using the vehicle sensor for auto open/close, you can set how far away you want to be before that feature works.
