Customers are mixed about the usability of the window shade. Some mention that the software features like scheduling work great, and it's a wonderful addition to their home automation. However, others say that the app is pretty terrible when it does work, and the software application is not useful if you have an Android based device. The install was easy, but the app needs some work, the clunkiness of the iPhone app, and no Smartthings integration yet.

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the window shade. Some mention that the solar panel keeps the battery charged without a problem, while others say that the motor burns out over time.

"...The solar panels keep each of my blinds charged even with little to zero direct sunlight. Even overcast weather results in charging...." Read more

"...The solar power panels work great. No issue, my blinds have perpetual power." Read more

14 customers mention7 positive7 negative

"...key products, our upstairs temperature management is phenomenal - saving us money and not requiring us to go up there and constantly adjust..." Read more

17 customers mention3 positive14 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the window shade. They mention that it's a weak product, an awful product, and a waste of money and time. The required update of the firmware failed numerous times, and is concerning for durability. The clunky design and solid hardware are also concerns. However, some customers report that the unit they received would not update and crashed.

"...The unit I received would not update and crashed: yet I gave it 5 stars because it now works so well...." Read more

"...It setup fairly easily, the firmware update seemed to take forever but once it finished the setup completed easily...." Read more

"...the Logitech smart hub will bridge the gap - but disappointed in how clunky the smart blinds are with being home integrated...." Read more

"...Even this time, I had trouble upgrading the motor firmware and registering the new unit from my Galaxy S9...." Read more

10 customers mention0 positive10 negative

Customers have issues with the window shades' compatibility. They mention that it would not pair to any device, it has a problem connecting to phones and smart devices, and it also has s problem connecting with its own bridge. The connectivity is much worse, and pulling on the switch doesn't complete the pairing procedure. Customers also say that the shades lack compatibility with other smart home systems, and does not integrate with Alexa. They are relatively dumb units with no native WiFi or Z-Wave connectivity.

"...and using a Samsung based Android phone, I was basically unable to connect to the device to calibrate the motor for opening/closing the mini-blind...." Read more

"...On the downside, these are relatively “dumb” units with no native WiFi or Z wave connectivity. App control is by local Bluetooth connectivity...." Read more

"...They are currently not compatible with any other smart home tech such as ifttt, smart things, etc. which greatly limits what you can do with them...." Read more

"...bluetooth, and without the hub does not integrate with Alexa...." Read more

9 customers mention0 positive9 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the Alexa integration of the window shade. They mention that it needs more blind control options, there isn't an official SmartThings integration yet, and the Alex skill is a tongue twister. Some say that the device does not add SmartThinking connectivity and has missing features.

"...No integration with Alexa or Google unless you purchase Bridge unit separately.Finally got the the "My SmartBlinds" installed...." Read more

"...Unfortunately, this device does not add SmartThings connectivity..." Read more

"...What you CAN'T do is say "Alexa, open the blinds". No Alexa integration...." Read more

"...skill is cumbersome (requires the bridge) and there isn't an official SmartThings integration yet...." Read more

(Updated) What was sold as new. Was not new at all!
Update: 04/22/19I was contact by support and they apologised for the condition and sent me another Automation kit. The second kit was in all new condition.I was able to install the new kit with all the contents included. The only modification I made was to where the manual switch was placed. I imagine that this is something that has to be done on a lot of blinds. As if they are not custom made to the exact dimensions for the switch. It will not fit.The last thing that I would have to note is that if you don't have an "Apple" device. You may or may not be able to update the firmware on any of the devices. I tired using a Note 9, S9 and an S8 to update the firmware of both the module and the wireless base station. I was having no luck until I wrestled the child's IPad away for 20 minutes to install the MySmartBlinds app. I ran the setup and firmware update and I was able to update both of them with little issue.Final Thoughts:1. Once setup. It works as expected.2. Software features like scheduling work great. My dogs are happy as I don't forget to open the blinds in the morning to give them the ability to keep an eye on neighborhood.3. MySmartBlinds needs to do some work on their android app to allow for better communication with updating firmware of devices. Although, once setup and updated using an Apple device. I am able to control the blinds using my android devices.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I am highly disappointed in how much I paid for this supposed "Sold As New" blind automation system. I don't know how this got through your quality control. Opened the plastic sealed box. The first thing I noticed was that the pairing unit had looked like it had been though hell. It was all scratched up and the tape had looked like it had been already used. It's also missing the snap on piece. So I figured I would just clean off the double sided tape. The next disappointment is that I opened the included solar panel. That also looks like it was already used. As before I even opened the box it had a hole in it. As I opened it up I noticed two things. 1. There is a sticky smudge of what looks to be like someone stuck double sided tape on the panel. 2. The attachments to hang the solar panel are missing from the box. The only thing that was there was the cord. I'm still installing this to see if it works at all. I still haven't oped the "smart hub" I hope this is in the box. Or maybe it could just be an expensive paperweight. I mean what the hell. $248.00 for this?
