Although this model’s installation is comparatively involved because of that wired door sensor (the other controllers either lacked a door sensor or connected wirelessly), the Tailwind app for Android and iOS walks you through every step along the way. This smart controller comes with a module and a wired door sensor that connects to the module and your garage-door opener. The Tailwind iQ3 Smart Automatic Garage Controller Pro’s sheer number of compatibility options and advanced features, coupled with its solid hardware, excellent performance, and reasonable price, made it the overwhelming favorite in our tests.
Compatibility: Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Control4, Crestron, Google Assistant, Home Assistant, Hubitat, IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings
