Zigbee Blinds Motor Rechargeable 1.5"(38mm) For Alexa Google Home

Zigbee Blinds Motor Rechargeable 1.5"(38mm) For Alexa Google Home

The product is easy to install. Just works with the remote. The documentation supplied is great - clear and step by step instruction with illustration.

The product description however should be improved. The documentation said the motor torque is 0.8Nm. This is important but never mentioned in the listing, so potential customer may end up bought this motor but found it didn't perform as expected.

The documentation did mentioned there are other model with larger torque. This is what I would like so could the vendor provide more information ?

Bought this for Smart Life App with a zigbee hub. They work well, I automated the luminosity of my living room with a light sensor so I don't need to keep changing roll up/down times every other month. It helps me to control indoor temperature.

Marzo 2023 lamentablemente se ha da?ado uno de los motores que compre. Aunque el producto se ve de buena calidad solo me duro 2 meses.

Febrero 2023 compre 2 para empezar a experimentar con la automatizacin de mis cortinas. La instalacin al principio es algo difcil pero cuando ya entiendes como es el mecanizo instalando la segunda fue muy fcil. Ya llevo con ellas 2 semanas y son un excelente producto. Estoy esperando que tengan promocin para empezar a automatizar el resto de mis cortinas. La calidad se nota que es buena. Vamos a ver cuando dura la batera.

?Very good battery motors. Make sure the higbee hub is in the same room or very near.

In the package - one motor. The motor has 2 signal wires hanging out of the drive end. One pivot end insert for the blind tube - its a plastic insert with a round metal stub that sits in the pivot bracket. 2 brackets, a fixed end bracket with a flat tab that the motor slides over and a pivot side bracket with a plastic locking tab that you push down once the pivot stub is inserted. 2 cords. One 41 USB to mini USB to charge motor and one 80 USB male to USB female as an extension (so ~120 or cord length for those higher blinds. The provided cords are heavy duty and instructions say to use them - my guess is that it is related to amperage (current) needed to charge motor.

Installation - these can be outside mounted or inside mounted. The brackets come with holes to accommodate both types of mounting. I installed them on the inside of the window. After looking forever to find a DIY solution for roller blind tubes I bought the METech tubes on Amazon. They were WELL worth the price and they come with bottom weights that look great. The motor hardware fit perfectly inside the tubes. I cut the tubes and fabric 1 1/8 in shorter than the exact opening width. This allowed a perfect fit for the blinds on the brackets. I position the battery charging port so that I could easily access them (front facing) which positions the wires to the back. I then placed a small piece of of double sided tape on the window frame and tucked the wires against the tape so they could not get caught in the blind as it moves (we used a mesh type fabric for the blind so the edges are a bit rough)

Operation - I bought 5 motor only and 1 motor/9 channel remote, for a total of 6 motors. The connected perfectly with the instructions. Although the remote looks different that that in the instructions. The basic functions are intuitive , youll figure it out. The directions are easy enough to follow. When you charge the motor the red light will go out once charged. Use the bump buttons (circle with arrow looking buttons) to get the blind in the exact open/closed position to set the motor limits. I had to hold the 50% button for a few seconds before the motor would move.

Alexa - You must have a higbee hub. I struggled with the first hud that I bought on Amazon (not all hubs are equal!) and thats where their customer service was awesome! I sent a note via Amazon messages and they got me lined up with the right hub and and I was able to connect thru the SmartLife app. NOTE - the hub must be close to the blinds, at least for me it did. 2 rooms away just did not cut it. I used a plug-in WiFi extender and plugged the hub LAN line into the extender and located in the same room as the blinds. Voila, all is good. Once connected I used the remote to position the blind where I wanted it in the closed position and then used the setting in the app and clicked on set lower limit. Repeat for the open position. I created a routine in Alexa and the blinds open and close on command. When connecting to hub the blue light initially blinks but then goes out; it does not stay blinking like most Bluetooth devices but the unit is still in paring mode. Interestingly I found that once I put the motor in pairing mode I hit the up or down button on the remote and that seemed to help the connection (but that may have just been coincidence, as I was trying everything to connect them until I moved the hub into the same room)
