SmartWings Motorized Smart Blinds with Remote, Custom Automatic 100% Blackout Roller Shade Compatible with Alexa/Homekit/Google, Electric Smart Blinds for Indoor Windows, Multi-Color Samples

Getting into smart home tech has been an uphill battle with the husband, but blinds were the one thing we were both excited about. The set we ordered had a message within 12 hours asking us to confirm sizing details to make sure we entered them correctly. Once those were confirmed, the blinds shipped faster than expected (within three weeks, I believe). There was an issue with the solar panel’s power cable coming disconnected (spoiler alert, it’s not supposed to), but the response time was same day and a new one arrived within five days. Fantastic performance and response times from both the remote and smart assistant (HomeKit, for those wondering). We don’t have the light blockers on the side, but even with that it works perfectly. Our plan is to start swapping out all of blinds in our house. Super easy to install, looks great in our home and matches our aesthetic, perfectly sized, clearly labeled in case you order more than one set at a time, and they do indeed completely blackout. Couldn’t recommend more!

Ordering was easy and straight forward. They sent me an email to confirm the size, then promptly built and mailed the 110' patio blind, which was well packaged and arrived without a blemish. Instructions were easy to follow, the clips to mount the blinds on are very well made and easy to use. We installed the blinds with no issues. The remote works perfectly. We still need to hook up the hub to use Alexa, but we expect that will be easy to use as well. We highly recommend using SmartWings if investing in automated blinds - our experience was amazing.

We ordered one blackout blind in Bouvardia Cream for our master bedroom. It arrived within days and took just minutes to install. I programmed the z-wave motor and set up a SmartThings routine to open and close on sunset/sunrise within another 3 minutes. Alexa found and added the device automatically, so it can be easily controlled by voice without me having to do additional programming.The blind fits perfectly, and we love the white side channels we opted to get. They hold the blind perfectly straight and block any light that might otherwise be seen from the sides, and they themselves disappear visually into the window opening. The bottom of the blind arrived programmed to stop at the precisely perfect spot at the base of the window opening, exactly per our measurements.Easy install and programming, high end look, total blackout, truly smart - I have a feeling we will soon have these in every window of the house.

The media could not be loaded. I should’ve done this review 4 months ago when I first bought them and I don’t really do reviews, but I would like to start by saying I will rate this product a 5 out of 5 every time. I just recently bought my home and my front door has a nice modern look to it with all glass panels. Now that might seem appealing to the eye but at the same time privacy was a big factor to me as you could clearly see in my home at all hours of the night. My first alternative was to get curtains but as me and my wife researched we came across these motorized shades. My initial thought was they were probably cheap and generic because of not many reviews nor buys, but I am really eating my words now. The quality of these shades is spot on and the best part is they come fully charged and I would say I haven’t had to recharge them in about 3-4 months and still going. Customer service is on point as their rep assured me of all shipping, warranty, and delivery details. The responses were very fast and reassuring. If you are looking for some motorized shades similar to my expirence then do not hesitates to buy these. Yes they are pretty pricey but in my opinion worth every dollar. Now at night with the blinds being blacked out as they roll down I feel completely more secure in my home with my families privacy as you cannot see in at night. It’s as easy as a push of a button on the remote that comes already synced to the shades so it’s literally un box and your ready to go. Make sure your dimensions are as accurate as possible when measuring what you need because they are truly exact.

The media could not be loaded. I quoted a number of different motorized shades before landing on these. I needed three 54" x 72" shades, so it wasn't going to be a small investment and most were 2-3x the cost of the Smartwings. I felt like I was taking a big risk not going with a name brand shade for a custom sized product, but the other good reviews put me somewhat at ease.Once I ordered, I was very happy with how everything went. They messaged me the same day I ordered to confirm the measurements with me, which was important as not all of my windows have exactly the same size opening. Shipping was faster than Amazon quoted and each of the 3 shades were clearly labeled and cut to exactly the correct size.Installation was a breeze. If you have ever installed any kind of blind, you won't have any issues. The blinds were pre-set to the height I gave the in my measurements, but there are instructions that show you how to adjust the stopping point up or down if you need to make changes. When I first tried them out, they all moved at different speeds, but I think that was due to differing battery charge levels. Once I had them all fully recharged, they all move together in unison. The video with this review shows them in action from about 15 feet away. The motors do make some noise, but its not anything I would consider loud. I think the video makes it seem louder than they really are.I ordered them with one remote and one USB stick that I can pair with my Samsung SmartThings hub. Both work flawlessly. I now have it all setup to where I can open/close/partially close any or all 3 together from my phone or smartwatch, which is how I operate them 99% of the time. You need a remote for any height adjustments or programming, but once that is set, if you have a smart home bridge, you can throw it in a drawer and forget about it.I am really happy with this purchase, they are better than I was expecting for the price. I don't have a need for any more motorized shades right now, but if I did, I would absolutely buy them here.

I did not want powered blinds. If / when the motor fails, a motorized blind will brick and be unusable. Manual blinds with a string or chain can be repaired and may last (a lot) longer. However: when I searched on Amazon for roller blinds, the Smartwings products kept moving to the top of the search results. They had the best price and best reviews. The best manual blind alternatives to the Smartwings motorized blinds were more costly and less popular. And so, I decided to take a chance on Smartwings.The build quality is solid. I know this because I had to disassemble and reassemble the first (of three) blinds that I ordered several times. The blind made grinding and knocking sounds when operating. I contacted Smartwings technical support and they went several rounds with me, suggesting potential fixes and sending links to videos that explained how to adjust blind components. Nothing worked, but technical support was unfailingly fast and friendly whenever I asked for help. Every individual component of the blind worked as expected and tested flawlessly, but when assembled together they made strange noises. Smartwings eventually concluded that the blind just wasn't going to work to spec (haunted, maybe?) and sent me a replacement. Kudos to their technical support staff both for sticking with the extended debugging process, and then sending a replacement when it was appropriate.Things that might not be clear from the product description:[*.] With regards to colour, I found it difficult to trust the product photos for the blinds: they've clearly been Photoshopped. Smartwings sells a package of fabric swatches (5"x8.5") on Amazon. Ordering the swatches first cost $10 and added a few weeks to the process but provided peace-of-mind.[*.] It is possible to adjust the upper and lower limits of the blind. If you have any concerns about how the blind will fit in your window, it's better to order one that is a little too long (vs too short). I needed blinds for three windows, and the windows are not exactly the same size (one is 3/4" taller than the others). I ordered all 3x blinds to fit the tallest window, and then tweaked the lower limit on 2x of the blinds to make them fit the shorter windows. It worked very well, and because they are the same size the blinds are interchangeable.[*.] The price you see on the product page is for the smallest / simplest blind. When you "add to cart", the Amazon website will walk you through a series of questions to lock down exact measurements and requirements. The process is thorough; you won't have to worry about errors / misunderstandings in your order.[*.] If you plan to order multiple blinds, you will need to order at least one remote during the website customization process. There are two models of remote available: one that supports 1-5 blinds, and one that supports 1-15 blinds. It you order five completely different blinds, across five different orders, they can all be made to work with the same remote. All of the factory programming can be reset / reconfigured.[*.] It is apparently possible to use two remotes with the same blinds. I only have one remote, so I can't test this. Also: I don't see a way to order (just) a second remote through Amazon. Based on my experience with Smartwings support, however, I expect that you could contact them to make arrangements to purchase a second remote if required.I have been using Smartwings blinds for several months and I have no complaints. They look good and function well.A note, re: the remote programming instructions: Don't pay too much attention to the "hold button for X seconds" or "wait for the LED to flash" bits in the manual. The only thing that counts is the blind "jogging". The instructions might say to hold a button on the remote for two seconds until the blind jogs. That really means: hold the button down for as long as it takes for the blind to jog. Could be much longer than the instructions say.

I am very happy with my blinds. They seem to be a good quality.The instructions given did not fit my set up ( inside window frame), but after contacting customer service, I received the pdf for set up within 24 hours ( probably less than 12 hours).I have two windows that they cover. It took s us 120 minutes to install the first window ( as it was our first time to put up blinds), and 60 minutes for the second. It’s a 2 person job.If I have any criticism, it is about the instruction guides. The instructions, are all right, English is a little peculiar at times, but the graphics are CRAZY small.For technical issues setting up voice command with Alexa, I did internet research as the instruction guide was insufficient.I had a bit of a time figuring out how to set them up with Alexa, but after some research on Reddit, I figured it out. It took me about a couple of weeks to set the blinds perfectly the way I want them, but now I have them set for opening and closing at certain times and voice activated thru Alexa. Also, their speeds are the same ( they weren’t initially and I thought there was something wrong with one), and I have them move together at the same time, as the blinds are beside each other. They can move separately as well..I have also set them to the exact open and close position. I haven’t yet set them for half or quarter position on the window, but I can figure that out when the seasons change and the sun gets stronger.Took a bit of brain power for setting them the way I’d like, but very happy with them.

Not often do you get more than you pay for, but the quality of these blinds suggest a much higher cost. They look fantastic and function perfectly. A bit fussy to set up “just so”, but worth the effort.Start with the sample book for answers to your fabric quality and colour questions. And be sure to nail your measurements.

Service rapide et impeccable, le vendeur réponds rapidement! J’ai demandé des attaches supplémentaires et ma requête a tout de suite été comblé! L’emballage pour le transport était solide, très bien protégé. Le store fait parfaitement dans la fenêtre et fonctionne bien. Grâce au Hub j’arrive à l’ouvrir et le fermer avec Alexa. Seule chose de plus que j’aurais aimé ça aurait été de pouvoir contrôler le % d’ouverture avec Alexa mais ça ne fonctionne pas, c’est ouvert ou fermé. Par contre avec la manette on peut ajuster la hauteur de l’ouverture facilement! N’est pas bruyant et roule “smooth” c’est parfait! Le tout pour un prix très raisonnable.

I ordered 3 motorized roller shades for our home. Smartwings was wonderful to deal with. They reached out a few times to ensure our order was right. I received them with in a week. They are simple to install. Great product and vendor…will order again.
