Hi,

When I try to use Tailwind with Google Home it always asks me for a pin, which makes voice control very cumbersome. How I can disable the pin?

  The only way to disable it is to convince Google that’s an acceptable security risk and have them remove it.

  It is implemented by Google not Tailwind and they do it so that someone cannot yell into an open window at your house and get the garage door to open.

  This is extremely disappointing.  I have a kwikset lock for my front door that has PIN capability in the app.  Do we know if this functionality is planning on being added for the tailwind app?

  I'm not sure what you find disappointing Paul. The PIN is required for all locks / doors, including Tailwind and any other product that grants access to your home through the Google Home platform. Simply set the PIN code under "Integrations" in the app (found in Settings) and that's it. Use the PIN to open the door.
