¶ Special Warning for RATGDO Devices
While we love the RATGDO device and recommend it for most jobs, we DO NOT Recommend using it where the client has a MyQ Wall controller that has an LCD panel or motion sensors. The RatGDO will cause the wall controller to reset in 1 out of 4 cases. The wall controller will come back on when physically activated, but until it has been physically triggered, the device and its functions will be offline. This is a known issue with RATGDO and there is currently no fix.
The RatGDO itself will continue to work and trigger from Nice. If your customer doesn't care about these features or you can replace the wall trigger with a simple dumb open / close trigger, by all means use the RATGDO.
INNOVO is not responsible for any issues that arise out of this known issue.
The issue is highlighted here.

¶ Custom Page
You can create a custom page to show more details about each door.
Tailwind has several statuses that can be show including with the door is disabled by the user (this is a setting in the app) or the door becomes Locked Out due to a door error.
If the door goes into Lock Out state the device must be rebooted to continue to operate. Add an output trigger button so the user can also reboot the Tailwind device to remove the door from Lock Out state.
