    How do yours compare to this identical item for half the price?

      Nice find. That one is the same as the Kogan one which is often $65. No solar charging. I have two and are happy with them.

      Also found this which would have been better for me as it is Zigbee and should work off-line without needing the cloud https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001698400295.html

      Only slightly more at $72.70aud

        Pretty cool
        Would you recommend wifi or ZigBee?
        Or does it just matter on your use case? I.e. wanting to open your blinds remotely

        • AssociatedOz Smart Things @ Oz Smart Things on 24/01/2021 - 10:36

          The issue with the Wifi and Zigbee is that they are not battery operated. The Wifi is easier as you do not require a hub to operate.

          • [Deactivated] on 24/01/2021 - 10:38

            @Oz Smart Things: I’d have thought zigbee of all things could be battery operated

        • [Deactivated] on 24/01/2021 - 10:38

          Do you know if they’re ESP*, at least for wifi one could flash them to some firmware of own choice

  • rifter on 24/01/2021 - 10:18

    Misleading title. 3 pack smart shades 2 is $449.99 on special not $299.

    • AssociatedOz Smart Things @ Oz Smart Things on 24/01/2021 - 10:35

      In the title, it says free shipping over $299

        Probably better to put prices of items in title vs free shipping threshold

        • AssociatedOz Smart Things @ Oz Smart Things on 24/01/2021 - 10:37

          I put the prices in the description as there are 3 different products that we are offering the discount. That title was suggested by OzBargin so I went with their recommendation

            @Oz Smart Things: Do we really want this to be the new trend on ozb? 85in OLED with free shipping over $500. Where is the price in title? As stated earlier, misleading.

            Is the bargain the free shipping or the actal item?

          • May4th on 24/01/2021 - 11:05

            @Oz Smart Things: Yes it's like the 'up to 90% off sale' pitch it doesn't leave a great impression with the ozb crowd. price in title, choose one product and put the rest in links in description

  • Tock on 24/01/2021 - 10:27

    Somas look much better than the Oz/Ali ones, but geez that price…

    Is there anything like this for outdoor blinds? A motor seems to add around $500 per outdoor blind, which seems ridiculous.

    I've got two of the Soma blind motors here and they're absolute rubbish. Both strain to lift an 1100mm wide roman blind which has very little resistance when opening by hand. The motors keep going offline which requires plugging into power, resetting them and then reconfiguring.
    I've contacted Oz Smart Things support via email, WhatsApp and have had no response. Seriously crap support despite purchasing from them multiple times.

    • jOlv on 24/01/2021 - 15:53

      Really that bad? I was thinking of using it for my 1700mm wide blind with 2500mm drop. Currently using Brunt Blind Engine but considering the Soma because of its solar appeal.

      • Sierra055 on 24/01/2021 - 19:25

        YMMV, but I have two 1100 wide x 2100 drop romans and I have not had much luck with these.
        It's a real shame as they aren't exactly cheap and when the seller won't respond to emails to WhatsApp (one of their advertised support methods) it tells me it's not isolated.

        • jOlv on 24/01/2021 - 22:04

          thanks mate. it wont be strong enough for what I need then.

  • Public21 on 24/01/2021 - 13:30

    The remote version looks the most interesting for me because it is battery operated and so I don’t need a power source near the blinds….. BUT it looks like I have to also buy the Broadlink RM4 Pro for another $60 (plus delivery??) if I really want to automate these.

    Ideally what I want is for the 3 blinds we have to lower when the sun starts coming into the living room - and to raise when the windows are in shade again. A time schedule will do if I can’t have a sunlight sensor, but that means on top of the $349 I need another $59.99, so I would be up for $410.

    I like what it does but it seems a lot????

    • bargaino on 24/01/2021 - 16:11

      The Sonoff bridge is $20.

      https://sonoff.tech/product/accessories/433-rf-bridge

      Does everything work together? Home Assistant?

      • Public21 on 24/01/2021 - 17:56

        Are you saying the Sonoff would do the same job as the Broadlink? Is it compatible?

        • bargaino on 24/01/2021 - 17:58

          Compatible with what? How are you planning to control it? I suggest googling.

          If any blind motor requires its own proprietary app, I would avoid it.

          • Public21 on 24/01/2021 - 18:29

            @bargaino: Compatible with the product I was referring to - the one at the top of this page.

            I must have misunderstood. I thought you were saying you could use the Sonoff bridge instead of the Broadlink RM4.

            • bargaino on 24/01/2021 - 23:32

              @Public21: You should be able to do that. I've not tried it.

  • bargaino on 24/01/2021 - 16:06

    So these "Smart Blinds" don't actually included any blinds?
    Bluetooth is good, but 433MHz RF in 2021 is a bit archaic. (only one-way I believe, so software cannot tell the blind position?)

    The Ikea Fyrtur come complete for $200-$250, so you know they will work reliably. And Zigbee, so work off battery unlike wifi.

    I bought the Soma 3 Pack from these guys less that 2 years ago and it was probably my worst purchase of the past few years… 2 are already dead and have been replaced with much cheaper Kogan models that haven't skipped a beat. Even before they ended up in the bin I was having to reset & reconfigure them every few months so both deaths came as a bit of relief really. Oddly, I've never had a single problem with the 3rd motor ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    • jOlv on 26/01/2021 - 10:08

      were they all Soma Smart Shades 2? or the first version?
