The media could not be loaded. I’ve installed four of these SwitchBot Blind Tilts in my home — purchased a three-pack and a one-pack — and couldn’t be happier with them. The one-pack I purchased was a ‘kit,’ also containing Switchbot’s “Hub Mini,” which is a necessary addition if you want to control these via your smart home controller — Alexa / Google Home / so forth. Mine are controlled through Amazon Echos via Alexa routines.Installation instructions are clearly written and the necessary bits and jigs to insure correct alignment are included with each blind tilt in the form of cardboard templates with adhesive. You align the cardboard template with your tilt wand, attach it to your blind’s headrail with the template’s adhesive pads, and it shows you precisely where to attach the wand clamp and the motor mount for a correct fit. At first, opening the package, installation looks daunting, but it’s really quite simple. Just read through the instructions and you won’t have any problems.Others have mentioned trouble keeping these units charged. I haven’t experienced any problems, and all four of my blind tilt units are on a north-facing wall. It’s true that the solar panel doesn’t keep their batteries at 100%, but this is to be expected when the panels are facing north and get zero direct sun. When I first installed these I installed the solar chargers on three but did not install the solar charger on the fourth. After a month, the three with the chargers were at 78% battery, the one without was at 58%. So even facing north, the solar chargers provide a small charge, helping to keep the batteries up. I charged these unit’s batteries to 100% prior to installing them and own a supplemental battery for my iPhone. It’s a simple matter to unplug the solar panel’s USB-C connector from the unit and plug the battery in to top off the blind tilt’s battery. Would it be better if the solar panels did all the work? Of course. But there will always be these minor issues with any tech, and honestly, this is so minor it’s inconsequential.My ONE problem with SwitchBot Blind Tilt was with the unit’s bright whiteness. I have mahogany blinds in my living room and honey maple blinds in my bath. The white motor and wand clamp stood out and not in a good way. I’ve painted mine with solid color deck stain to closely match the blinds and now I don’t even see them. If you want to paint yours, prior to painting tape up the wand clamp and the bottom of the motor unit. The wand clamp contains a latch-release with very close tolerances. Any primer or paint in that latch will make it unworkable. Learn from my mistake — I spent about an hour with an x-acto knife trying to surgically scrape off primer to get the latch operable again. Just tape the clamp portion and leave it white. The bottom of the motor unit contains a button you press to connect the unit to your network. This also needs to remain unpainted, so tape that too before priming. The attached video shows these two areas. Start with a bonding primer and follow-up with the paint or stain color of your choice. Lowe’s sells “sample size” deck stains quite inexpensively. Stop by and pick up a deck stain color sheet, take it home and match your blind color with that sheet, return to Lowe’s and pick up your sample size can of stain. I used solid-color deck stain, but any paint or stain will work.One final note: Alexa only has the ability to close the SwitchBot Blind Tilt with slats facing DOWN. This was unsuitable to me. Here’s a simple fix: in your final installation step — the calibration of the unit — when the app instructs you to fully open the blinds DOWN, fully open them UP. And when it instructs you to fully open them UP, fully open them DOWN. Alexa will now close your blind slats in the UP position.I have mine opening at sunrise and closing at sunset every day through Alexa routines. I couldn’t be happier. For the price, these bring automation to existing blinds very cost-effectively. Go for it!

These are like SO cool! I’m disabled and first got a single unit. I loved it so much, so had to come back for more! Once you get the hang of it, these are super easy to install. I think by the last one, I was down to about 5 minutes each. The hub works like a charm and makes so I can have Google open or close my blinds from anywhere in the world (or or the comfort of my own bed, wheelchair, or bathroom floor. Lol. It doesn’t get cooler than this!I can stand up for short bursts which is necessary for this product installation, but honestly the hardest part was pressing the stickers into place and holding for 30 seconds.Buy these. You will not be disappointed!

Bought 6 of these total. After figuring out the first one the rest were easy to setup. After a few months one of the six motors stopped working. I emailed the SwitchBot support about my non-working motor, and even though I bought them over six months ago, SwitchBot sent me a new blind motor for FREE! Excellent customer support. I also love the integration with Alexa/Google devices. I can tell Alexa/Google to open or close the blinds. They are also solar powered so you rarely have to plug them in to charge. Only have to charge if you have extensive cloudy dark days.

These are a great way to automate window blinds in hard to reach windows. Bought these on sale and they were easy to install, and work perfectly.Before install we watched a few online videos so we could better understand how they should work, that was very helpful.The only issue with these is the solar charging. I read another review that said you need to have the solar pad in full sun – this seems to be correct. We installed on 3 windows, one is on the west facing window and that window gets full sun, so that one charges when it’s sunny out. The other windows are south facing but don’t get direct sun, since install a few months ago those are slowly discharging but it will still be a few months before we need to manually charge them. If these were installed on a high window this would be inconvenient when you need to recharge, but in our case this isn’t a problem.

To be honest, i wasn’t expecting for these to work well and that why i bought 1 to try it out. To my suprise this product does what its supposed to. Super easy setup and very easy to use. Because of that reason i bought more for the rest of the house and glad i did so. The only knock i have on the product is i wish you didnt need a hub to connect it to alexa or google. I wish it would just directly connect to the internet, but i understand that would entail more cost. All in all very very satisfied with this product and would highly recommend for anyone looking to automate their blinds.

I was eskeptical about the install process, most home automation devices are not consumer friendly, but if you follow the instruccitions you can install these in minutes. I set them up to open at 5:30 AM and close at 7:00 PM. I also set them to adjust the blinds based on light level, it’s amazin how well this feature works. They start adjusting almost in sync.I would say my only complaint is charging with the solar panels. None of them have reached 100% but I think it has to do with the amount of direct sunshine the windows get. Still, they have stayed over 60%, so I do not think I will need to plug any of these to a charger.

I’ve been using the blind tilts for a couple of months now and I am happy with the performance and reliability. I linked the blind tilts to the switchbot hub which allowed me to connect the blinds to Google home using matter. I find the matter connection is much more reliable than the cloud connection with switchbot. I have these blind tilts on a schedule to open and close on sun rise and sun set and they run nearly flawlessly. The solar panels these come with haven’t picked up enough sunlight to charge the blind tilts. The built in battery however last months.Highly recommend these

For the windows up 16 feet in our living room, these saved the day. The hub they send you with these can also power many Bluetooth and IR remotes and products.Worth it.

Easy installation and configuration. Added to HomeKit via IFTTT with ease. Installed first one in about 15 minutes. The second and third in about 5 minutes each. Well designed. Worked so well we bought another for the bedroom along with a two button remote.
