PRE-ORDERS WILL START SHIPPING APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 15TH ON A FIRST ORDERED, FIRST SHIPPED BASIS
The iQ3 has been the #1 Rated smart garage door controller for the last 5 years. It just got better.
Our 2nd generation IQ3 2.1 controller is designed to control up to 3 garage doors or 1 gate. It can control all known garage door openers on the market today. Chamberlain, Liftmaster, MyQ, Genie, Overhead Door, Ryobi, and more. No adaptors or hacks required.
Use our SmartFit Guide to find out which kit is right for your garage door opener.
PLEASE NOTE: The IQ3 2.1 can control 1 garage door opener when using digital communication. If you want to control more than 1 door, you must do one of the following:
1) Install 1 controller per door (allows the use of digital communication if supported by your garage door opener)
2) Use dry contact control as shown in the SmartFit Guide. Additional door kits are sold separately.
If your garage door opener requires a door sensor, the first 4 minutes of our IQ3 installation video will show you the difference in the 2 types of door sensors we offer (j-track mount vs universal mount) here
What's New in the IQ3 2.1?
Digital control - simplifies installation and enables direct communication with many modern openers with just 2 connections and no door sensor required (see SmartFit Guide for details).
Obstruction sensor input - read and report obstruction sensor data directly from the safety sensors
Pass-through wiring - makes connecting the wires easier and more reliable
Optional PoE upgrade board available - hard-wired reliability
12V to 24V AC/DC Power input terminals - provides additional options to power the unit directly from a battery or low voltage AC power in solar gate applications
Works with 3 button (OPEN / CLOSE / STOP) systems
Mounting Bracket - makes mounting simpler with more options
More powerful - amazing new features are coming. These controllers are designed with this in mind
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 DOT 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.
