I'd love to have a widget for android that I can add to my home screen with the status of the garage door(s). the ability to open/close would be nice as well, but even if it just showed the status and had the ability to click into the app it would be great.

  Ryan,

  This feature is in beta testing now and should be released to the public in less than a week.

  Ryan - just an FYI the widget is available in the current version of the app for both iPhone and Android.

  Hi Scott, New user here. I love this system and have been using it for a little over a month now with excellent results. I was wondering how to get this widget on my android. Do I need to reload the app? Will I need to reset everything if I do? I am not very savvy when it comes to my phone, so think how you could explain to a Grandpa!

  Thanks, Hans

  Hans and Ken sorry I missed your original post Hans.

  I still need to make a video for this, but here’s how you do it:

  Tap and long press on the home screen.
  Tap on “Widgets.”
  From the list that appears, long press on the Tailwind widget to place it on the home screen.

  I noticed some apps have multiple widgets depending on the format desired.

  Although I like and actively use the Tailwind widget, it would be nice if there was a 1x1 or 1x2 version (single door, double door,etc.).

  Is that a possibility? I know you have a lot of other updates pending, so no hurry on this request.

  Thanks,

  Curtis

  Yes! Please consider making a one door version of the widget. And... does it need to be two spaces tall? (can't resist temptation and quote Pink Floyd: "Mother, did it need to be so high?")

  I tried to put the widget on my main screen but it was too large so I didn't use it and went back to the standard tailwind icon/app.  In doing so I lost the open/close notifications.  I went back into Notifications to verify that the Turn Notification was on and it was.  I noticed the Widget wasn't set for my garage name so I went ahead and put it in.  I'll verify it works today when I go home.  Is that the fix to getting notifications back?

  Chris,

  I am going to guess you're on Android. If notifications have completely stopped working, please make sure to clear any existing notifications from your notification tray, and follow this article https://gotailwind.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020905051-Notifications-are-not-Working

  If it's just the verbal notification that isn't working, please follow this one https://gotailwind.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026471912-My-Verbal-Sound-Notifications-on-my-Android-phone-stopped-working-How-do-I-fix-this-
