This kit includes our first generation controller and a sensor that quickly mounts on the track. If you have a standard sectional garage door and verified no parts of the door glide up / down over the J-track, this is the kit you want. Our universal kit will work for you, but this one is a bit easier to install.

Not sure which one is right for you?

The first 4 minutes of our installation video will show you the difference in the 2 types of systems (j-track mount vs universal mount) here

Commercial Grade 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. The Tailwind iQ3 Pro is the ONLY system on the market that includes a commercial-grade, sealed, all aluminum door sensor that the pros use to ensure rock-solid door position information.

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 100 controllers and 300 doors on a single account, so it can handle whatever you throw at it.

Comes with everything you need to operate 1 garage door and is expandable up to 3 doors per controller with additional door kits sold separately. Designed for standard sectional garage doors.
