    It's so nice to see more affordable options for custom shades and such high-quality ones at that. Thread for the win!

    I'm sold! Since I bought my 77" LG OLED TV, I use blackout paper shades. Not only will this be a cooler solution, but literally a smarter one. Thanks!

      That's a nice TV! I'm looking into the OLEDs...

    Can blinds be operated manually if motor or something else go bad?

    Great video. Used Ryse / Axis adapters to convert bead blinds into being Zigbee + homeKit enabled and it's been nightmare.

      Thanks, and yeah I’ve tried homebridge for a number of devices but always flakes out.

    Can you set specific middle positions (percentage) for automations other than full open and full closed?

  • @philipkoch5062
    @philipkoch5062 Год назад +1

    Nice video. I may have missed it but can you adjust these manually? ie without using the app, siri, or remote?

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  Год назад

      Thanks! Not that I’m aware of. But the remote is RF based so would work without internet

    Good review just discovered these. What colour did you get? Also in the long term any issues with such a long blind? I will need a few long ones as well,.

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  4 месяца назад +1

      Still using these and they're great! After trying other brand models I recommend these the most. I got the midnight grey.

    Does it require any hubs? Like an HomePod?

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  8 дней назад

      You do need at least one homePod (mini or large) or an Apple TV to act as a hub

    @Stephen . This is awesome. I would love to convert my window blinds to Homekit. However for each small window it costs $474 which is crazy expensive. Are there any DIY affordable Homekit options ?

      These Zemismart retrofit shades may work! ruclips.net/video/BK49rbt_uac/видео.htmlsi=k-pVBmISdBZAtN5h

      That is exactly if you stop and think all about how important it is for you to say open or close is it worth 300 more for it. I have about 18 windows i cant pay thousands so i think regular blinds are for me.

  • @sicilianbambino
    @sicilianbambino 11 месяцев назад

    can you sync multiple blinds together to open and close them together partially or full?

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  11 месяцев назад +1

      You can group them in the HomeKit app and then raise or lower them together! For partial opening, you would need to create a HomeKit scene with both blinds and adjust each accordingly. Or you can ask Siri to "open the X room blinds to 50%" and it will do both to that percentage automatically!

    How do you charge with power bank? I see the port on the rod. Do you connect usbc and leave it in the air? Will the cable stay holding the weight of power bank that will be in air?

    • @beardfm
      @beardfm  Год назад

      I place the power bank on a nearby shelf or get a long enough cord it rests on the window. Power bank charges via usb-c cable and power brick.

    Smart Wings really missed a great opportunity for some great commercials here w/Paul Rudd & Sean William Scott...though it's not "sturdy wings", it is close enough to where they could have had some real fun with it...i do understand the expense associated with Rudd, and Jane Lynch is no slouch herself, but it would've possibly been subsidized by partners as well 🎉😂 😊
