USB charging port is on opposite side of lift arm. So guess what - the USB charging cable connector (from solar panel) hits the wall when you try to close the shutters after install. Does t matter if you place the motor on the left or right - the connector is either gonna get crunched by the hinge-side wall or by the opposite wall. The USB charging port should have been placed inline, either at the top or bottom to avoid this. Huge bummer, product functions otherwise.

The automation on the shutters works about 75% of the time. The remaining 25% either it doesn’t open all the way, doesn’t close all the way, or just doesn’t do anything.Also, unless you place them on the front of your blinds, it’s tricky to get them to fit. If you place them on the front of your shutters it wouldn’t look very professional though.

I messaged on whatsapp no response. The blinds are tricky. Its a waste of money. I sent a video they are not willing to help. It will work now and again. You need a zemismart high range hub as it wont work fully.

I wasn't very impressed with the Blindsmart Plantation Shutters Motor, especially considering the cost. The overall quality felt cheap, particularly the flimsy solar panel, and the midpoint setting for the louvers wouldn't hold consistently.Connecting via Bluetooth was frustrating at times, requiring me to turn it off and on repeatedly before the motor responded.Installation itself was easy, but the battery seems to drain quickly even though I don't use the motor very often. I have the solar panel set up facing the sun, so I'm unsure if the issue lies with the battery itself or the panel's effectiveness.yeah , while installation was simple, the price point felt too high for the quality and inconsistent performance. If everything had worked reliably, I might have considered buying another one, but I can't recommend it at its current price.

I have installed 10 of these motors (zigbee + solar panel) in my home and used them for more than half a year. So far I believe this is the best solution on the market, even it is far from perfect. I recommend to get the hub and solar panel.Please note that, these motors works, but requires a lot of DIY skills. I have hit a few issues, which include dead battery, broken charging port, motor problem, when installing the 10 motors. However, their customer service helped a lot, so I eventually installed all 10 motors successfully and control all of them together on my phone with automations through the zigbee hub. I am happy with the result I got so far.

If you need to motorize your plantation shutters, go for this. The set up can be a bit tricky and confusing initially, but after I read the manual carefully and FACTORY RESET the item, everything sorts out well. Remember to read the manual -- it has everything. If you can't understand what the manual says, find a Chinese friend to read the Chinese version of the manual for you.Also, the remote and zigbee version is mostly the same to me except for the accessories. For the zigbee version you get a zigbee dongle that translates zigbee signal to infrared signal. For the remote version you get a infrared remote that sends infrared signal directly. For both versions, as long as you pair them correctly, you could have just one zigbee dongle/remote that controls multiple motors simultaneously. So for example, if you need 10 of those and want zigbee and IR remote control, then you could just purchase one zigbee version, one remote version, and for the rest 8 of them, you can get either zigbee or remote version.The Bluetooth version seems different from the above two. The Bluetooth version can connect to your phone directly with Bluetooth, but I didn't confirm whether it can be controlled by infrared signals. It doesn't seem to respond to infrared signals, but again I haven't dig into this.To be able to control the zigbee / remote versions with the Tuya app and Google assistant, here are what you need (at least in my case):- some zigbee / remote versions of the motor depending on the number of shutters you are controlling. If in doubt, just get zigbee version for all of them.- one zigbee dongle (comes with one zigbee version of the motor)- one zigbee hub. You can get one from this merchant, or other Tuya zigbee hubs may also work. For me, the zigbee hub from MOEN also works. The hub translates wifi signals to zigbee signals.With these items in your hand, all you need to do is:- connect the gateway to your app (follow what the Tuya app says)- with the hub turned on, connect the zigbee dongle to the hub (again, follow the instructions in the Tuya app)- with both the hub and dongle on, pair all your motors with the single dongle. (This is described in the manual of this product.)

I have been looking to control plantation shutters for years and this is basically it. But it is fraught with problems and so far I have spent about 8 hours getting the first one going. Probably the worst set of instructions I have ever seen - even from China - regarding how to mount and set up remote. I have the version controlled by a remote and wifi. Eventually worked through that. However that does not allow you to use routines - for that you need a broadlink rm pro rf receiver or something similar. It is standard 433MHz so should link with no problem. Eventually got that accomplished but it is not relaible. Set up reoutines on the broadlink app - they sometimes work and sometimes not. Had even more trouble connecting with Alexa.Come on guys - great product but do the work to make it comsumer friendly. I will hold off buying for my other plantaation shutters until this is done.
