Update: Tailwind can also be integrated via the HomeKit Controller integration in Home Assistant, whether you have HomeKit or not.

See Using HomeKit Controller Integration in the wiki for an alternative to using this bridge.

The Tailwind2MQTT bridge provides an easy-to-use interface between the Tailwind API and your home automation platform.

Note: This is still in an alpha/pre-release version

You should expect frequent breaking changes. Security has not been fully implemented nor has all testing for every scenario been completed. Use cautiously at this point.

The bridge is a simply Wemos D1 Mini (or other ESP8266-based board) that connects to your local WiFi and allows you to send and receive MQTT to your Tailwind iQ3 garage door opener.

You must have a properly installed and running MQTT broker for the bridge to work.

The MQTT broker can be the integrated MQTT add-on for Home Assistant or a standalone broker. Home Assistant must be configured to talk to the broker. Home Assistant version 2021.4 or later is recommended (the bridge may work with earlier versions, but this has not been tested).

See the other wiki pages for more information on installation, configuration, use and sample Home Assistant files.
