Set your electric blinds to open early on work mornings, all your living room lights to switch off at bed time, and open your garage door from the comfort of your car with just a tap on your phone. I have bedroom curtains controlled by a cord loop and was hoping to find a device to electrically power them. This arrived yesterday and it works brilliantly. The motor unit is quite powerful. These curtains are heavy – velvet and lined 4m wide by 3m high but the device seems to move them fine. Connecting it to the chord, fitting to the wall, connecting to Wi-Fi and to the Smart Life app all went exactly as the instructions suggested. The Smart Life app has been updated a bit since the instructions were written but it was still straightforward. Setting up the open and close limits worked fine. And so now I have buttons on my iphone and Siri voice Commands set up to open and close – and also to partially open (you can choose a Percentage open). I just hope it don’t wear it out now. Can’t resist playing with it. Can’t imagine what the neighbours must be thinking. I find the product and very easy to install and set up. It is robust and is quite capable of lifting 1 & 1.2 meter wide roman blinds and the smaller ones. It is easy to configure with it limits for up & down and set up with Alexa. The unit is robust and solid. Apparently for a smart blind engine, it’s not that smart. So I’ve done everything from setting it up. Installation was a abit fiddly. And looking for another smart engine. I’ll definitely be returning this.

Mains Powered Electric Vertical Blinds are available made to your measurements, with a stunning range of fabrics:.Cost effective. Works well. Easy to set up, but I had a few difficulties so I phoned Ajax for some help. Incredibly easy to use and easy to connect to Alexa using voice control. Designed for Blind motor, this Blind Remote Control is the ideal solution for keeping complete control over your smart blinds. The RF Blind remote can be paired with up to 15 devices so there is no need for multiple controllers.

Wrapping up, I think it’s great to have more choices and even though this does fall a little short in some areas compared to the Aqara model, it’s still a great budget option for those that can’t afford custom blinds or simply prefer the blinds they currently have. Add to this that there are no regional restrictions for the required hub or the motor, and it’s a compelling alternative for US customers, who are still unable to get the Aqara model. Speaking of the hub, however, if you’re already set up with the Aqara system and would prefer to not have another hub, it may be better to wait for such time when/if the Aqara model becomes available. They are pretty much the same product, but Aqara has better software, assuming you use the features exclusive to the Aqara Home app. If you only use HomeKit, it’s not as important, obviously. If I were to recommend this, I would suggest for the little extra cost, it’s worth getting the model with the RF remote. GREAT BLIND MOTOR works well I had a struggle to connect to wifi mostly my fault. I called them for help and spoke to Ajay who was very helpfull and soved my problems. GEAT ITEM AND SUPERB SERVICE

I got one of these Smart Blind Motor for my elderly mother and it is so good it was mentioned in a care audit report of her. It has made such a difference for her as she used to sit for hours with the blind closed before it got dark, Ironically, my mother-in-law is away, and was at the time I fitted it, so I’ve not had the chance to see how she finds it all. She may be getting on in years, but she knows what she needs to do, and even uses my old Aqara Cube to get my attention when she needs help with something, so I can’t see this being a problem for her. With that in mind, I’ve had the blinds set to open and close at sunrise and sunset, respectively, as well as randomly test them via the Home app, and with Siri via the nearest HomePod Mini, and I’m glad to say it hasn’t let me down yet in the couple of weeks it has been on test. The only annoying thing is that I really don’t know how well the battery performs.

I’ve been looking at a few smart blind motor options; from motors connected directly in the blind tube & other external blind chain motors. This blind motor seemed the best and most flexible option available. I bought one blind motor at fist, but have ended up buying 6 so far… But this was after sorting out a few ‘user manual’ niggles (the instructions should say ‘Set Up the Chain Motor First’ including the ‘OPEN & CLOSE’ settings. ONLY set up the SMART APP and CONNECT the Blind Motor after you have set up the Chain Motor to work through the buttons on the motor unit. Apart from that niggle everything has been fine setting up the Smart Blind Motor. The only thing to be aware of is that you will most likely have to ‘cut’ and re-join the blind chain, as the Chain Motor needs the blind chain to be ‘tight’ to work. But the ‘connectors’ to reconnect the chain together doesn’t go through the chain motor ‘cog’ (or the main Cog of the blind, might be different with the blind you have)- I have tried various chain ‘connectors’. So to get over this problem, I MELT the blind chain beads; joining one to another. This works fine. If a little fiddly. BLIND MOTOR POSITION: I tried various positions for the motor. on the wall I found straight down 3-4cn from top of windowsill the best place. My blinds are inside the window space. SMART/WIIFI – Every easy, and works well, I use the ‘automation’ so blinds close at sunset and open at sunrise and the blinds work well with ALEXA and Google Home. Plus the remotes you can buy separately work easily. What's more, the installation of a motor for the roller blind can also include the selection of a solar panel. This way, you charge the drive using solar energy. The shutter virtually always has access to daylight, so it is easy to charge the battery. Thus, you are betting on an environmentally friendly activity, as you are using renewable energy sources. This is a great idea that can be implemented in virtually any home.

The main difference between electric blinds and sdokmart blinds is the control method. Electric blinds without the addition of smart technology can be opened or closed with the push of a button on a remote control, or a wall switch. When it comes to a motor that every householder can afford, as it is very easy to use, we recommend the cordless device available from familyrollo.co.uk, which is mounted on a chain. You need to remove the connectors to the metal ones. Then attach the adapter horizontally or vertically. There are two plastics in the cover which have to be broken off. The motor for roller shutters is mounted horizontally on the window sash when another option is not possible (e.g. the chain is too long or there is simply no technical space for it). Easy to fit, and simple to use. But there are 2 problems I have. First, when the blind is closed, there is not auto-stop, and so the blind keeps moving. Second, some of the buttons are misplaced on the remote. For example, up actually goes down and down goes up. I think maybe there was an error is the product’s manufacture. But overall, I am pleased.We are proud of our team here at Ellard. We have built a team that mixes vast knowledge and experience in the door industry with newer, younger and well-educated talents who have brought in fresh new ideas to the way we do things.

Wifi and Alexa set up was all a bit.
