Tailwind Now On Kickstarter

Home automation has faced a stiff challenge when it comes to adoption by the general public. High prices and complex setups deter most people from even considering purchasing a system. Tailwind platform lays the foundation for connecting to almost any network that would allow your smartphone, watch, or laptop to talk to it and makes it affordable.

Tailwind allows customers to use low cost control modules and smart devices to control and monitor many things from anywhere in the world over the internet, or even locally without the internet. Tailwind is currently on Kickstarter. Early birds have a unique opportunity of getting one for $33.

  • You don’t need special hubs because Tailwind will talk directly to the wireless router, or even directly to the phone if there’s no router. There’s no need to program anything. Just install Tailwind module(s), download the app, and follow the instructions to configure it.
  • Tailwind devices help each other communicate using patent pending mesh networking P2P technology. That means you can put a Tailwind module in a location that is out of reach of your router, and other Tailwind modules in your home will attempt to act as “go between” points to extend the range.
  • Each Tailwind module has 3 channels for simultaneous inputs (monitoring things) and outputs (controlling things), as well as an accessory channel for use with future accessories and the LED puck light accessory.
