Top video. Ordered and installed this on my house based on this review and guide! £20 roller blind plus motor saved me spending £££ on a proprietary system, fits right into my existing ZigBee setup. 👍👍👍 Thanks
Excellent good to hear the video helped.
Where are you buying these for £20?
@@christopherbyrne18 The roller blind was £20 (Dunelm in the Uk), the motor unit was about £70 👍
Amazing sharing video friend 👍
Great video showing how to install it on the roller shade. Subscribed.
Thanks for the support!
Hi, amazing video very detailed. Just wondering how easy to charge it, is the only way to charging is to use power bank?
Excellent vid thanks.
You're welcome!
Love your content My friend
Thanks
Hello from Brazil. Nice video. 🇧🇷
Hey
Hi, great video. Can I use broadlink pro to control the blinds instead of the remote?
Did the black motor piece increase the overall width of the distance between your original brackets? I have existing blinds which are recessed and the mounting brackets are hard up to the reveal on both sides, curious to know if this increases the width the brackets are apart as if that is the case mine wouldn’t not fit within the recess space if it needed to be wider.
Any help appreciated
I have a similar motor from zemismart. It’s for a bigger 38mm tube. Buildin battery, and now the zigbee dongle is buildin. Unfortunately when I bought mine, external dongle was the only option. Btw I tried mine, and was able to select the percentage of opening but the position status is not reliable. Ive been using mine for almost a year now. So far I’m very happy with it. Another excellent video bro 👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the comment, interesting to hear they not have the dongle built-in...I'll have to check it out at some point.
Do you mind sharing latest model of the motor you use?
Hi, do you know if we can add this motor to one of the Ikea blinds, such as FRIDANS or SANDVEDEL models ?
Thanks
loved the video thank you, I love how well you have explained every thing. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO IF I HAVE THREE BLIND I WANT TO CONNECT TO ALEXA? tHANK YOU SO MUCH dO I NEED A HUB OR JUST THREE SEPRATE ZEMISMART DONGELS?
Hello, thanks for the video. Any idea what is the weight of your blinds? And also height /width? Are they blackout?
How does the noise of this new one compare to the chain motor one you had before? I want to buy one of these but want the quieter option
thanks
Hi and thank you for the review. :) Is there an option to set the device to 50% or 75% at 8am automatically every day? or is there only an option for full open and close?
Hi, thanks for this great video! Exactly what I was looking for!
I have only two questions remaining:
Does the dongle have to stay online even after setting the schedules?
Can the original connectors of the roller blinds (the connectors to the wall) be used with this motor?
1. No need to. 2. No, you will need the motoried solution corresponding accessories. Only that new bracket pairs well with the new motor.
Can I ask where you bought your blind from? Thanks.
Is there any way i can add these to apple homekit through homebridge?
Hi may i know whether the part that the motor head is to be placed is where the pulling cords are? I have 3 blinds i wish to automate. One of the blind's pulling cords are at right side and and 2 at left side.
This doesn't matter, remember when he mentioned the direction and reverse?
a year in, hows your experience with the battery ?
Can we have a purchase link or product model. Great video by the way. Quit thorough.
All in the description of the video check it out!
is it supported with Home Assistant?
Good video, very clear!
Is it possible to have 1 remote for multiple blinds?
Thanks, Yes, they give a 1 channel remote and that can control upto 16 blinds at the same time..
@@GeekStreet does that include the ZigBee dongle? Or do you need a ZigBee dongle per blind?
@@EccentricToast One zigbee dougle can control multiple blinds actually, if you have used the HUE lights, then you will get the point, they are same thing.
Great tutorial. I've got these working in each of my rooms!
Most of my rooms have 2 windows, so I had to connect 2 rollers to one dongle. That was a bit tricky... There's no documentation on how to set that up, not that I could find anyway. I worked it out with a lot of trial and error.
I'm interested to know if you've managed to set up a scene that activates multiple devices with a single trigger? For example, when the sun rises I want to open the blinds in every room. I've set up a scene to do this but it only ever runs in one room.... and nothing happens in the rest of the rooms.
A workaround is setting up scenes for every room but that's inefficient and if you want to change the trigger setting (time for example) you have to update multiple scenes, which is annoying.
can you tell me how you did it? 1 dongle per roller seems a little bit excessive
@@franzisfranzus1323 - One you've configured one roller blind switch it off completely with a long press for 7 seconds. Run through the setup process again, with same dongle and new roller blind. You have to turn the dongle back to sync mode (blinking blue light) for the app to pick it up again. Once the second roller blind is configured switch the first roller blind back on. They should both now receive commands from the same dongle.
FYI - I had best success with the Tuya App
Is it for a fixed width and length ? What is maximum width and length or fixed - can 2 be used together for wider blinds or can it be customised?
The motor torque and the tube size will actually decide its loading. There is a formula...lol
Thanks for this. My question is does the device length matter? The width of my blinds is 1.83m but most of the models I see are way shorter than that. Not sure if that is a factor
Should be fine as long as the motor can fit in the tube.
It also depends on how much force it needs to use to open the blind.
Really depends on your blinds weight, and the motor's torque(means power).
Can they be daisy chained I have a bay window and would require 3 for one window and would want them to all operate at the same time ?
Yes you can do that via smart scenses, create scene for opening and closing all.
If you use 3, as Adam suggested, do you need to use 3 dongles or one will be enough? Is the dongle used for WiFi as well or only for zigby?
Good review just one question is it possible to pair the motor with the app using the remote or do I need to pair the motor with the app first?
Best to do as I've shown, pair the motor with the app first.
@@GeekStreet okay thanks man
@@ChrisShine np
@@GeekStreet I testet the app so far and have to say Smart Life it is very buggy with remote it works like charm but when I use the app everything goes crazy and it seems you can control just one motor so it is useless.
They updated smartlife a couple of weeks ago...i've found it had a few issue since you could try tuya app?
How do you know what mm tube u should buy? Thankx
Take your existing blind off and measure the diameter of the tube.
Is there an option to leave this plugged in rather than charging the battery all the time? Thanks, good video!
You can use a smart plug and schedule charging every 15-20 days. Just route the cables nicely.
Is it possible to add several motors to the same wifi dongle or do you need a dongle per motor to get it into smart life app?
One dongle can control 6 blinds.
Yes, but you can't control each motor individually. If you wan to start only one of your two motor for instance, it is not possible. You have to get one dongle per motor for that. Which is completely stupid ...
@@emi264 seriously? Isn't there a way through the app?
Have you figured out how you can use google commands to open the blinds by a certain percentage? Cannot seem to make it work
Can this be used while it's "charging"?
AKA if I install it with the wire connected would it act as a hardwired install?
Yes you can but don't over charge as it could damage the battery.
Hi I bought one of these motors but it didn’t fit my roller blind, if you don’t mind where did you get your roller blinds from? Thanks
Think I bought off ebay
@@GeekStreet Thanks, i gone ahead and bought one from ebay but that didn't fit as well. Do you mind sharing link for roller blind you bought? I would be very pleased if you could send it.. Thanks
2 of mine work, the 3rd will pair ok but trying to press up or down on remote or app the blind motor just beeps at me twice and does nothing
Does it work with home assistant?
Its tuya do i think it does
I've had several zemismart motors through the house for awhile not sure I would go with Zemismart again though they seem better than the single dooya rollerblind I ordered. I've had one DOA no replies from Zemismart when I asked about returning it under warranty. My bigger gripe is the roller blinds seem to randomly loose either upper or lower stop limit which can cause chaos I'm not sure what causes it not all at once just now and again on a random blind then it's fine for months perhaps house movement? Frustrating when it occurs.
Avoid anything with an external dongle. Recommend getting zigbee version even if you don't use it initially. The solar panels they have as an option for the battery powered units aren't the best and I would buy something seperate. Wish the DC to DC converter was built into the blind motor so it charged at 5V regular USB input instead of requiring an adapter on the cable (other brands charge at 5V).
Aren't both versions of this ZigBee but one comes with a wifi adaptor and the other doesn't? Otherwise both ZigBee.
RF I thought was just for the remote so it works even if ZigBee isn't connected to a hub.
Wait. It's a USB socket but they aren't using 5v directly? What happens when you put a normal USB cable to it? Does it fry it?
So can you use this with the Hue Bridge?
He says near the end (~17:23) that he could not get it to work with the Hue Bridge. Cheers.
I do not get it, where do you plug that dongle? PC? Hub? Should it be always there to work? If I have 3 blinds in a room, do I have to have 3 dongles?
Can the wifi version be added directly to my google home without a zigbee hub?
You would add the wifi version into the tuya / smart life app and link the service in google home
Can it be plugged in? For power source. What about solar panel?
Sure. USB. Solar panel please check in their website, it is workable as well.
How do I connect to the light switch shown at the start of the video ts 0:19
Using smart scenes
Where do you attach the dongle to?
Plug into a power plug like you would use with your mobile
Works alright, but I can't for the life of me get it working with google voice assistant.
It is synced, and it does show up on google home app (just the same as it does yours) but blinds doesn't react when saying "hey google open bedroom blinds)
Any idea?
Try saying 'ok google sync my devices'
Any idea on the battery life?
I think they say 3 to 6 months. I've not had it long enough to confirm that yet.
@@GeekStreet Nice video, thanks, how did battery life go during every day use? Thanks
@@andrewthompson7345 I'm getting about 3 months on average.
Is there a battery indicator on app or device
No unfortunately not, you get a light on the device while charging.
Whats the battery life been like long term?
I've not had it long enough to confirm, but I've charged it once since I've had it
@@GeekStreet how long have you had it for?
@@Gershy13 about 6-7 weeks.
I have these in my home. They are pretty good, but really unstable and keep breaking every other month. I constantly need replacements. I’m curious to know if I’m the only one who’ve had that experience?
You are not alone, 2 out of my 3 motors also just broke. Where did you order them, and how do you get yours replaced?
I experienced the same. My seller on AliEx sent me replacements multiple times.
@@Ideler at least I can’t complain about the customer service. I bought mine from Zemismart on AliExpress. After 3D printing a better “adapter” for the hole in my blinds I haven’t had any issues whatsoever. They’ve been running for more than a year now
@@lukasmendez9434 I have five of these, out of which four broke down in the span of 1-2 years. I also bought from Zemismart on AliEx, and I agree, they provide good customer service as they sent me replacements each time. However, it does make me worry about how often I'll need replacements in the future. As an experiment, I've just now fitted one window with a beads chain motor (Tuya-based), to see if those are more durable.
When they break, are you able to pull the blind down manually or does the motor lock the blind into place?
To clarify. There isn't a ZigBee version and a wifi version. There is one that comes with the Zigbee to wifi adaptor and one that doesn't.
Also the adapter uses ZigBee not general RF.
I think the remote uses RF not ZigBee.
If I am writing correct me but your video is very confusing.
Is there a solar panel charging option?
No unfortunately not, but that would be a great idea.
Hi,
Please make an adjustment on the limit setting. There are up to 6 middle limit settings. The only question is, if this is set and go into smart and set open on sun rise, it will go open to the first middle limit?
When this is the case, I can help all my customers with this.
There will also be the possibility to open to the next middle limit, after 10 minutes after sun rise and so on (when necessary of course).
Hope to hear from you soon, so this issue is also solved for all my customers who like this very much.
Thank you in advance,

I've just upgraded my blinds to the one you just replaced 😩... I would much prefer this as it gets rid of the chain.
Yeah a nice clean finish.
@@GeekStreet I also just have installed the one you replaced. Would you think it's worth the upgrade? Mine has a bit of a noisy sound but not sure if this is more related to my blinds than to the engine itself... I am wondering if I return it and try this one instead...
@@oksibcn its definitely a good upgrade i like the idea of it being hidden in the roller blind. Just a bit of a hassle when the battery runs out as there is no override so you have to get it charging to work but not the end of the world.
@@GeekStreet what blinds do you have to have the 25mm bar... mine are 32mm.
@@deanmcgowan3462 mine are 25mm from ebay. White but black out blinds.
I know this is an old video but this company is gone now, there are others selling the same units, did it hold up?
Really its gone?
My one lastest a couple of years and after that the battery wouldn't hold charge after that.
@@GeekStreet Gone. Website is dead. No longer listed on Amazon. Blindsmart is selling the exact item though. A couple of years for the low cost isn't bad I suppose.
@@matthews8576 i just checked and this still works www.zemismart.com/
@@GeekStreet Huh. There it is. The prices are a little less than blindsmart but the products are exactly the same.
@@matthews8576 it probably is the same
A certain percentage is available only when you set the limits. I mean actually the first thing you do should be settig the top-limit and down-limit, so that the shade knows its allowed movement area, and it will only divide the area into intervals, 0%~100%. Hi friend, it would be highly appreciated for your hands to push this comment top.😃
*push*
can you say to alexa, open blinds to 25 or 50%?
Does the battery level appear any where in the app?
No unfortunately not.
Thanks mate.
I've had power bank attached to this all day and it's still stuttering so I assume battery is low but it never charged
@@ALJNBAPTISTE i recon you have a faulty battery on that.
@@ALJNBAPTISTE very common fault
It's cool but 70£ and WiFi, it should work with remote directly like tools in the past without WiFi spy's stuff. Like in the past the remote power socket switches, no WiFi registration bs, straight rc Controlls.
When the blinds are down, it just looks like a wall.
What do you recon perfect area to use with a projector? Video coming soon!
Just use a routine on Alexa to “open studio blinds”.
👍
