Tailwind has developed 2 skills for Alexa. You can enable both skills at the same time. This is the Smart Home skill and provides the ease and convenience of Alexa Smart Home Skill integrations, routines, and more. You can use this skill to lock (close) or unlock (open) your garage doors. At this time Alexa does not support "close" and "open" and instead uses the words "lock" and "unlock". Amazon requires that you set up a PIN code in the Alexa app in order to unlock (open) the garage door. You will be prompted for this if you enable "unlock by voice" in the Alexa app.
This skill works with the Tailwind garage door controller (www.gotailwind.com) Tailwind will internet enable up to 3 garage doors per device. With this skill and Tailwind, you can ask Alexa to check the status of your garage doors, or tell Alexa to lock (close) or unlock (open) them. Smart Home skills enable simple discovery, custom door names, and other convenience features. You can create custom door names in the Tailwind app.
