Part of their Frugal Friday deal. Not ATL, however, pretty decent discount. This one is powered by a DC adaptor, so it is pretty powerful and eliminates the need to replace the battery every now and then. There will be a cable running from the unit.

    Blind Drivers are dangerous and should not be allowed…

    A bit ugly with the power cable running to the unit unless you can hide it along the wall.

  • Nkl on 11/04/2025 - 15:30

    Does anyone have a good battery-operated alternative from AliExpress they’d recommend? I’ve heard mixed things about battery-only options, but the windows are quite high up, so I’d really prefer to avoid running cables along the wall. Thanks

    • skid on 11/04/2025 - 16:03

      The battery operated ones do not have removable batteries, so you'd have to run a cable to recharge them.

        I'm fine with that, as long I have no cables visible during the day. Recharge it whenever needed.

      I have a few of these.. works great with double sided tape install, integrated with HA for light and time based automation.. Very easy to unclip and remove for recharging

      • organamisms on 11/04/2025 - 16:35

        Does this work with Google Home/Samsung Smart Things?

        Also how do you find the battery life, how often do you need to charge them?

        And can you set them to only open part-way, or is it only open/closed?

        • shaidas on 11/04/2025 - 17:01

          No idea about google home/smart things..I only use HA. It is a step motor , max and min can be set as in fully open and closed for a single press operation or you can press the buttons to open or close as much as needed. Battery life is very good, a full charge tends to last around 2 to 3 months depending on the curtain weight..mind you my curtains generally open when the sun has risen and shut down when lights need to come on inside the house which is generally close to sunset so twice a day .

        • at9 on 11/04/2025 - 18:27

          They should if you pick up a tuya ZigBee hub which are also fairly cheap. The battery life will be better than getting a wifi version.
          I have a ZigBee version and get a couple of months out of a recharge with a solar panel attached (which I'm not sure actually does much) and they get a bit of use.

          • shaidas on 11/04/2025 - 22:10

            @at9: The solar panel is just a gimmick but yes I run a zigbee network as well and these things fit in quite nicely ..no need for a remote or phone apps when you can use zigbee light sensors with home assistant and create a program to control the blinds and the lights simultaneously .. these units are silent and have plenty of torque .. I also have 2 xiaomi aqara but these work just as well at a much cheaper price point

    Is there something that open and close curtains (right - left)?

  • muddrex on 11/04/2025 - 16:27

    Could a single remote control multiple blinds simultaneously?

    i.e. having multiple blinds paired to the same remote

  • jackwoz on 11/04/2025 - 16:44

    I've had one of these for the past year, and im surprisingly impressed. Hasnt skipped a beat, pulling and lower a very wide blind. Also its connected to home assistant

    • Spec on 11/04/2025 - 17:35

      i have one too and can confirm that it uses Tuya and thus works fine with google home, it even rolls up and down in percentages. Just make sure you set the limits of the curtains before you ask google, this bamboozled me for a bit.

      • navap on 11/04/2025 - 19:13

        Agree. Mines is 2.6m heavy blind in daily schedules. Been great.

  • Thranrond on 11/04/2025 - 17:02

    Same as above - had these for a couple of years now and works flawlessly

    • muddrex on 11/04/2025 - 17:17

      How much is it normally? Thanks.

      • albert0pia on 11/04/2025 - 19:11

        $174.99, according to the website.

      • flickr on 11/04/2025 - 20:21

        It is normally around $70ish

  • GloveBear on 11/04/2025 - 17:09

    I'm using aqara coz it is compatible with homekit.

  • akplayer on 11/04/2025 - 20:39

    I have 5 of these, occassionally on ebay they go for $30. Keep an eye. But this is good price. Sometimes they need to be reset to connect to Alexa
