Do you have a link to the App/DTH from ST for the device?

The are using the new-ish cloud to cloud integration with Smartthings. There would be no app or DTH then. ST finally seem to be getting some traction with that system.

Anything new with this? I just bought a Hubitat and would also like to include my Tailwind garage door opener natively. It's honestly not a huge deal. I do have a seperate contact sensor, but it would be cool to get it working.

I would also like to get my tailwind working with it.

FYI, I googled the persons name and api, and found the thread...

one person even mentions using it for hubitat.

FWIW, I have got it working with IFTTT. The only thing with the way I have it now is that the title status isn't accurate if someone opens the door by another means than the tile. I was pointed to a seperate thread with separate driver and app code but I'm not 100% sure it's going to work for me. When I get time I plan on playing more.

I was looking at IFTTT too. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way to make an inovelli switch light up red when the garage door is left open.

Ah. Yeah, not sure you can do that. I happen to also have another contact sensor with a mercury switch that I used with my last opener, so I got lucky there. Hopefully Tailwind gets full support with Hubitat at some point.

Please upvote my feature request.

Upvoted! Here's to hoping!

Local APIs for Tailwind are now available as a beta. You can email their support alias to have them upgrade your device remotely to enable the APIs.

The API is pretty basic, with a post and a get rest call to open/close or get the status of the device. I have a pretty rudimentary driver working which requires polling if you want to use it as a trigger.

Awesome news! Now to wait for someone that is skilled (not myself) to create a driver/app and put it into hubitat!

chaue.shen · September 12, 2021, 5:24am

I went ahead and put my driver on GitHub... Feel free to give it a shot if you enable the beta on your controller

I tested it on my Tailwind, and it worked perfectly. Thank you for putting a driver together so fast.

makirules · September 24, 2021, 2:35pm

I tested it as well (after Tailwind finally updated my device), and it works perfectly. Thanks!
