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’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.

Great bit of kit, I had a couple of issues trying to get the blind to open on the app but phone the technical support and they talked me through the process. Easy to Install. I have used a competitors system before which was very annoying, regularly overloading and losing connection. It took 5 – 10 minutes to set up. Highly recommend. I was somewhat doubtful as to whether my technical skills would be up to programming this and when I cam to do it. Great product. Useful.Suggest screws, the tape won’t last to long as the mechanism is quite hectic and the tension will likely rip the tape. Motor is a bit loud, but overall I would recommend this. Easily links with Google Home. The Powered Tube Kit consists of a roller blind tube excluding roller blind fabric fitted with a Somfy Sonesse 28 RTS quiet drive motor.

Battery powered motorized smart blind 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.

Single channel remote control handset in white with grey trim. Ideal for controlling an individual powered blind. Own about 8 of these, takes about 10 -15 minutes to install, very minor problems, easily resolved and I am happy with the service and support from Ajax Ajax Online Blind Motor has been faultless since using it well worth the money especially when using with Alexa to control or set up schedule. Thanks. Brought six of these to link with my Alexa. I managed to set up new routines with meaningful voice commands like close and open rather than power on and power off. All set up (through Alexa) which is fantastic for me. The noise of the motors is not all intrusive. Fits perfectly.

This is a fantastic piece of kit, works great with Alexa or an the app alone. Really simple to install and set up. Overall happy. Will be getting more in the future.
