      I am embarrassed to admit

      I am embarrassed to admit it but my wife and I headed out for an overnighter and left our garage door wide open the whole time! We did our research and purchased the Tailwind iQ3 2. 1 2nd Generation Smart Garage Door and Gate Controller along with a second door sensor and two vehicle sensors. Installation was simple, easy, and everything we needed was included. This is so well thought out. The most difficult part was just deciding where to run the wires. This thing just works, has great configuration options, phone notifications, and the just in case scheduling options are wonderful (close at night, close if left open for more than xx minutes, etc. ). We're very happy with the product!

      I purchased one iQ3 2. 1

      I purchased one iQ3 2. 1 and a PoE hat to power it. Unfortunately (1) the board was a dud and (2) I realized I needed another iQ3 2. 1 to support my needs. I reached out to customer service for a replacement PoE hat and ordered a new controller and PoE hat at the same time. When everything arrived I swapped out the dud and set up the new controller, things still didn’t work so I did a lot of part swapping only to realize that the replacement PoE hat was also a dud and the singe functioning PoE hat DOES NOT support data. It only allows power via the Ethernet jack but requires a connection to a WiFi network. Utter disappointment. Waste of time and money.

      Shipping and service were great. The new garage door position sensor is more rugged and easier to install than the original.

      Just brilliant. Set up is a breeze in turning your dumb garage opener into the smartest one on the street. Autoclose feature means your garage door is never accidentally left up. So many features and the team at Tailwind are extremely helpful. Just had a big firmware upgrade as well. You will not be disappointed.

      I'm good with technology but

      I'm good with technology but not the best as a handy man. I was able to install the device and get it seen in both Home Assistant and Apple HomeKit in less than an hour! I initially added the iQ3 Pro to HomeKit using Apple Home. Super easy, worked reliably. But since I am using Home Assistant for more advanced home automation than can be done in Apple Home right now, I decided to de-register it from HomeKit and add control it from Home Assistant. I then published the device in Home Assistant over to Apple HomeKit so it is seen in both places. Works great. Best part is that I have Home Assistant auto-close the door after 20 minutes of being open. You can do that using the Tailwind app too, but the advantage of doing it in Home Assistant was that I could publish a virtual switch to Apple HomeKit that disables the auto-close. That we when we are doing yard work it is a simple to pull up Apple Home and turn off the auto-close virtual switch to have the garage stay open until that switch is turned back on. Man is this home automation stuff cool. Has come such a long way. The iQ3 Pro is one of the most consistent smart home devices I have in my home automation.

      I bought the Tailwind iQ3

      I bought the Tailwind iQ3 Smart Automatic Garage Controller PRO with J-track mounted sensor based on a recommendation from a friend. It seemed like a great automation solution for my "dumb" LiftMaster garage controller. The product was easy to install following the detailed video instructions. I did not run into any issues and was able to get a very clean and neat installation. The accompanying app works well and provides all the features that I was looking for from voice commands to close the garage (via Google Home integration) to automatic opening and closing when pulling in/out of the driveway. I also love the fact that Tailwind has a WearOS app that I can have on my Android watch so that I don't need to pull out the phone to open/close the garage door! I'm very happy with this product and highly recommend it as an easy to use garage door automation solution.
