The good news: Tailwind works on your home network, and your normal garage remote still works.

The bad news: Tailwind is a small company, automatic opening depends on its app, and it does not work with the newest Chamberlain and LiftMaster openers, which block add-on controllers.

If you own Tailwind

  • Keep your normal garage remote in the car.
  • Add it to Home Assistant or another system for a backup.
