Hi I have a motorized blind with a remote. How do I automate it to open and close the shutters based on a schedule without using the remote. The blinds are from a German manufacturer
Great video and well done with the blinds. You asked if you overlooked something else to get rid of the center cord. You can get your blinds set up in a way so that one cord turns all three together at the same time; or just two if you prefer. So you would only then have one or two cords on the outside and no middle cord. Still I think you went with the best solution and one most people prefer.
Can you please explain how you paired different remotes in detail? I am unsure how you achieved synchronous movement with a single remote controller. Appreciate your help. Thanks.
Hi and thanks for watching the video! Getting the blinds paired with a single remote was fairly straightforward but the synchronous motion took some planning to get right. Essentially it involved setting up each blind individually with the others unpowered. That's probably the simplest way I can describe it. If there's enough interest, I may do a specific video on it.
Very artistically and planned video. On the audio mix, I recommend the music turn down a notch. During production the balance was probably just right, but rendering often changes the balance. If the music is loud enough to make you spaz out and hear the melody in place of the talking then it’s too high. Otherwise very very unique and artistically made video one of the best planned videos online
Hi and thanks for watching! I'd say about $800 in total - about $250 per set of blinds. So that includes the cost of the custom blind, electric motor kit with remote, wall-mounting bracket.
I would have purchased the electric window paint, that blanks the window when a voltage is provided to each window, so no dangling items and no moving parts, but you can also get glass window units with Venetian blinds inside between the glass, that are used in offices for privacy, very neat and no dangling parts again. But a good video thanks
Thanks for watching. I've only ever seen that magic paint in the movies! Is it real? If I tried anything like that, I think my other half would end me for touching our new patio doors!
@@robotanv It's real but the glass isn't truly clear, it looks milky or dirty even when in the see-through mode If you put "Smart glass" into Google images you'll see what I mean
Most people aren’t interested in designing blinds from scratch. Automated blinds can cost thousands so this was a good diy for the installation and ordering vs using a full service company
Oh get over yourself, what are you expecting people to sow the blinds themselves as well? By hand.. Buying a seperate motor and wiring it in yourself is not buying the completed thing - that can cost hundreds of pounds.
@@FilipjFieno, but in this case, when we look for DIY motorised blinds... We are indicating we want to avoid the costs of paying full price and want to learn how to do it ourselves instead of buying a package from some website. I don't need a video for that.

just wanted to say this is a well crafted video man, it's to the point and gets the information across nicely. good stuff

Great video i need a step by step!! 😩 i have bifolding doors and want to also do this!
yes i didnt learn a great deal from this as i need more detail. so off i go to search for another video
Wow! That’s great ❤
Thanks for watching!
How did you drill into the lintel. Thanks
A tutorial on how to set up the terminal block on this project would be great!

Thanks for watching and really appreciate the feedback! I need to work on my audio mixing so really appreciate your thoughts.
Great job on the video.
Wow I loved your video
Hey thanks!
Love the camera work, did you just film statically and edit the panning in edit?
I have an open of 4.4m. Will two motors work?
It Should depending on the fabric. I did 2.6m wide 2.1m drop with one motor rated at 1N and didn't go slower than short spans
Nice video~dear
I'm gonna make a motorized projector screen
Lol I was going to comment exactly this. 84 dollar projector screen.....
You make my brain happy lol
How much did this entire process cost you?

Nice video. I am also considering. But question is how did you connect each motor to the mains ?
Great video you deserve more subs 😂
That would be nice! Thanks for watching and glad that you enjoyed it.
Brother your video is informative.
One nit pit of mine is music is obstructing your voice.
Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the feedback! I'll take that on board!

Can you send me the details on what you are referring and what is the watts for running them?
@@robotanv It's real but the glass isn't truly clear, it looks milky or dirty even when in the see-through mode
If you put "Smart glass" into Google images you'll see what I mean
music is a bit distracting
Need a step by step install. Overview is nice but usually the devil is in the details
This video is a Hey look what I've done, not a Hey come along and lets make this happen lol
Get yourself a ladder much safer
Why didn't you get a wider middle curtain and place it back a bit
Thanks for watching! I wanted all three lined up but appreciate that results in a gap between the blinds. That was the lesser of two evils for me.
@robotanv I see, I was just thinking for privacy
Not DIY. False title.
DIY means do it yourself, as in: build the thing from scratch💁 It doesn't mean: purchase the completed product you want from a website🤦

Far out, give him a break, Frown extraordinaire….
DIY means don't pay someone to fit something. People who DIY their bathroom are not making baths, sinks and toilets from scratch?!

$93 i don't call it saving money ...
93 is very cheap
@@Faigh_as i created a system for less than 10$
You don't wanna know how much it is for a customized version. I have this same window and was quoted $800. Good luck
this is not DIT , you just bought everything pre built !!! wtf is DIY about this ?
You could have bought cordless blinds, cheap, just for getting rid of cord, motorizing blinds is a nonesence
Hi and thanks for watching. I couldn't find what you're describing but if you could point some out, that would be awesome!
Those are shades, not blinds. Learn the difference.
Quit throwing shade(s) at me! :p
