Ability to use Tailwind when service is down
Has there been any thought about having the ability to still use Tailwind when your services are down? Some sort of ability to switch to control locally perhaps with reduced services?
We've had our system for about a year and in that time we remember your system being down at least three times. Twice for more than a day or two. Makes it difficult if you depend on it to get in and out of the garage which is why we bought it in the first place.
we use it when we go out for bike rides or walks, etc. so we don't always have a backup opener handy when we return.
just curious
thanks

Hi John,
Yes this is being worked on currently and it is planned for release in 2021.

To our HomeKit beta testers, yes. To all users, no. This feature is part of our our firmware update that also included Apple's HomeKit, so they will be released together. That firmware is currently in testing at Apple's appointed laboratory. Once it passes all the tests we can get Apple to sign off and then we can release both Apple HomeKit AND local control for everyone. Both apps have already been updated (Android and iOS) to include this functionality, so now we just need the firmware to be certified for release to everyone.

Thank you for the update.
I see that you are working on the HomeKit (Apple) and all is fine.
Are there plans to also allow Android users the same ability to operate the door(s) when the system is down/offline? If so how will this work and what will be required on our end? (a hub of some sort)
