What's the last thing you bought?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yeah, we're really looking forward to getting them and installing them. They work with Alexa or if I plug them into a smart outlet they can be programmed to go up and down at whatever time you want. It's going to be pretty cool I hope.

[Muddy]

Yeah, that sounds pretty nice..

Customized the way we needed them they came to about $350/each and we got a pair of them for the living room. The direct sun on our windows all summer long just completely destroys blinds and we've tried real wood and faux wood and neither one can stand up to the heat.

Love the idea, went to order, they reviews are pretty bad LOL
I'll wait to see how your experience is

1.0 out of 5 stars different shades, different motors, different remotes, different instructions...It's a nightmare.

First, mounting the shade was simple. But there are gaps around the top and the sides so forget about blackout. Then I tried to get the remote working. The instructions seemed to be for a different remote that took a different battery size than mine. Turns out this happens to a lot of people. I figured out which battery was needed after poking around on the internet. You'd think it would just say so on the remote...but no. Then, the instructions did kind of work, but you have to know that when the instructions show them clicking some button with a pencil, you really have to press the Set button hidden in the battery compartment. Now I attempted to get it to work with Alexa....no go. I have echo dots. Apparently it requires certain Alexa devices only or may some kind of hub? I'm not sure. They list different devices in the instructions vs online and it depends on which motor is installed in your blinds....super confusing. Clearly made in a non-English speaking country so the instructions are difficult to understand "When found remote control not sensitive or controlling distance obviously shorter, please replace same battery mode for remote control". I think Borat wrote these.

So to get this to work with Alexa, I bought a new Echo 4th gen device. It has the Zigbee hub built in. Now I can discover devices and I can see the blind in the device list, but any command just gets you "Blind doesn't support that". "Blind doesn't support that".

They should not be selling this product to consumers with these glaring usability issues. It's a TERRIBLE customer experience trying to set this thing up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Some ups and downs - pun intended

One of the three blinds I ordered works. The other two will not pair with the remote and the third won't charge. After attempting to pair with the remote the second and third blinds completely stopped working. They've been out of the box for two days.

Update 10.21.20
I sat weeping like a silly pregnant fool trying to get the blinds to work for hours. It appears to be a motor issue. One of them will not charge at all. Customer service has been very helpful to present and gracious. They've approved my return request though reportedly sent out new motors. I'm still waiting for them. I love the look of the blinds and am grateful for the service/support. I updated from a 1* to 4*. I'm hopeful to get the blinds up and running soon otherwise I'll plan to return.

Updated 11.4.20
I emailed customer service again several weeks later and was told that they would be ordering replacement motors and sent me information to replace the motors. I am quite concerned about the time to return lapsing prior to receiving any sort of replacement motors for the malfunctioning blinds. It seems like once I updated the review they dropped my case. I would not recommend using this company and am going through Amazon to address the issue.

They have an overall 4.5 stars though..?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

They have 4.5 stars out of more than 500 reviews. I take most reviews with a grain of salt, both 5 star and 1 star. If they're shit, Amazon has always been good about returns, so we'll see how they are when we get them.

[Muddy]

Same.

They shipped factory direct from China. Ordered them on the 10th. Confirmed the dimensions by e-mail on the 11th. They shipped on the 12th from China, and they are on the FedEx truck out for delivery today. Fairly impressed with this part so far.
