Product Information

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. I find the product and very easy to install and set up.

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. Brought six of these to link with my Alexa. I managed to set up new routines with meaningful voice commands like close and open rather than power on and power off. All set up (through Alexa) which is fantastic for me. The noise of the motors is not all intrusive. Fits perfectly. 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. Bedroom or living room, kitchen or office. These types of curtains fit in most rooms thanks to their modern and minimalist look. Since they’re motorized, there’s no risk of an uneven rollup from clumsy pulls. So, they’re always stylishly balanced when pulled down, while at the same time being discreet when rolled-up. In addition, the fabric lasts better and looks nicer over time as there’s less handling. They're neat and simple with no operating cords or chains. Great for homes with young children and pets

Wrapping up, I think it’s great to have more choices and even though this does fall a little short in some areas compared to the Aqara model, it’s still a great budget option for those that can’t afford custom blinds or simply prefer the blinds they currently have. Add to this that there are no regional restrictions for the required hub or the motor, and it’s a compelling alternative for US customers, who are still unable to get the Aqara model. Speaking of the hub, however, if you’re already set up with the Aqara system and would prefer to not have another hub, it may be better to wait for such time when/if the Aqara model becomes available. They are pretty much the same product, but Aqara has better software, assuming you use the features exclusive to the Aqara Home app. If you only use HomeKit, it’s not as important, obviously. If I were to recommend this, I would suggest for the little extra cost, it’s worth getting the model with the RF remote. Uses RF technology to connect to your devices. Radio frequency offers a reliable connection between your remote and blind motor. Designed for Blind motor, this Blind Remote Control is the ideal solution for keeping complete control over your smart blinds. The RF Blind remote can be paired with up to 15 devices so there is no need for multiple controllers. Connect your Silent gliss 5100 Adaptor to your smartphone- This adapter is compatible with Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home Kit. I am delighted with my new electric blinds. Leonard the fitter was pleasant, helpful and hard working he made sure everything was left neat and tidy after fitting the blinds. I would highly recommend Hillarys Blinds."
