Control with your phone – This Wifi adaptor works with Lightwave, Samsung SmartThings and the Philips Hue App. I set it up again, few days passed and setting were lost. It settings were lost. It seems to do this every few days. The device is right next to my router, it’s permanently plugged in and is left untouched when we’re not operating the blind. Next Unit worked fine.

Ajax support blew me away – amazing support and advice even when the problem I had turned out to be the wifi signal and not their problem. In the summer, as soon as the temperature inside exceeds 25°C, your automatic blinds lower automatically. It’s such a simple way to protect your furniture and plants, and keep your house cool.I find the product and very easy to install and set up.

Noisy. If it could do what it doesn’t without making a lot of noise, that’d be grand. No apple home kit integration, these are the two reasons I am not rating this product 5/5. Still good enough Noisy. If it could do what it does without making a lot of noise, that’d be grand. No apple home kit integration, these are the two reasons I am not rating this product 5/5. Still good enough. 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. Connect your Silent gliss 5100 Adaptor to your smartphone- This adapter is compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home Kit. 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).HomeKit News is not in any way afflilated or endorsed by Apple Inc. or any subsidiary companies related to Apple.

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 had been looking for something like this for a while. So glad I found the Ajax blind engine. It was really easy to install and set up. Good clear instructions and all worked first time. It was so good, I went to the Smart Life app to add the blind engine and, as I had the app already for other products, it had automatically added the blind engine! I am extremely satisfied and would recommend this product to anyone.

A Somfy smart home system takes care of those little every day jobs. It can even monitor light and temperature levels in your home, giving you the freedom to focus on more interesting things in life. 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.

With the voice assistant, you open or close each electric blind to the desired position. You no longer need to use chains and cords with electric blinds. 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.
