Yoolax Motorized Zebra Blinds Works with Alexa, Motorized Blinds with Remote Custom Size, Privacy Electric Blinds Zebra Blinds for Windows (80% Shading White)

I couldn't be happier with my Yoolax blinds! The bought the zebra shades with the Zigbee motor which integrates seamlessly with my SmartThings V2 Hub. I can control the blinds through the SmartThings app, set schedules, and even automate them with other smart devices. The quality of the blinds themselves is top-notch too. Highly recommend Yoolax blinds for anyone looking to upgrade their smart home setup!I followed the measuring instructions to custom order the blind. It was easy to install and it fit perfectly.

The media could not be loaded. Our new house has some very high windows that take in a ridiculous amount of sunlight from late morning to afternoon. We have lots of beautiful pics from our travels on the wall and we wanted to protect them from fading in the sunlight. Originally we bought curtains for the 2 high sidelights and that helped a great deal, as there are windows below them as well, so we killed 2 birds with one stone. However, the middle high window is directly over the fireplace so a long curtain or even a short curtain for that matter didn’t work. When I saw these smart blinds that work with Alexa I thought they might be too good to be true. But after install you will see from my video that they work better than expected. Other than the tall ladder, the install was really simple as compared to the other 50+ smart items we have in our house. For me, the best part was not needing to connect them to a 3rd party app in order to connect them to Alexa. Before hanging them we made sure they were fully charged and connected them to Alexa with 1 easy step. Simply push the little button and hold for 6 seconds as the blinds cycle in and out quickly twice. After you see the curtain shimmy the second time you simply tell Alexa to discover your devices. It took just seconds. I also went into the Alexa app, renamed them and put them into a group called The Blinds. Once I got them installed into the opening I tested them with the remote. No problem. I then tested them individually with an Alexa command. I then tested the group. The only 2 challenges were getting the first blind the snap into the brackets. Pressing directly in front of the bracket helped as did moving the unit from side to side. Eventually it popped right in. Also 1 of the 3 blinds did not work initially with the Alexa command when tested. Although it worked with the remote and was listed in the devices in the Alexa app, Alexa kept saying that function was not available on the particular blind. Since the others were working fine I simply removed the device from Alexa, climbed the ladder and held the button for 6 seconds and 2 curtain shimmies, then did the Alexa discover my devices again. This time it connected and worked perfectly upon giving the command. They look much nicer than expected and I love the zebra mode that lets filtered light in when needed. They seem great and certainly do the job. Very impressed with this product.

At first I was doubtful that these would be as good described. But after comparing them to Hunter Douglas which are three times the price they are a good alternative. Arrived earlier than expected. Very good quality and is better than expected. Certainly an upgrade from my old blinds. Easy to install and a fast response from customer service regarding measurements.
