Motorized Shades 100% Blackout Work with Alexa Google WiFi Hardwired Smart Roller Shade Remote Control Automated Blinds, Customized Size (Jacquard White)

When I first saw this roller shade listed on Amazon, I was very interested but was somewhat hesitant to attempt to customize it online without ever speaking to the seller Graywind in China. However, I continued, because I really liked the sound of their product. With emailed assistance from Graywind, I chose a fabric, a custom width and length, and chose to have the motor mounted on the left end of the shade's housing. After submitting the order, I received an acknowledgment from the Graywind which included very detailed specifications of what I’d ordered. I was then required to confirm that the specs were correct before they would continue to fulfill my order. Assembling my customized shade and shipping from China took less than 3 weeks from order date to delivery via FedEx. The order was packed very securely and arrived with zero damage.The Graywind people were extremely helpful before and after I placed the order. They sent me 2 sample fabric kits for which I paid several dollars, but I was reimbursed for the samples when I placed my order.Physically installing the shade was very easy. After carefully mounting the hanger brackets over my window it was simply a matter of snapping the shade’s housing into the spring-loaded brackets. I then plugged the shade in, put two AA batteries into the remote control, and tested the up/down motion of the shade. It worked great, except that the upper and lower limits were not set exactly where I wanted them to be. At first I had trouble setting the limits. So I emailed Graywind. They answered within a few hours and told me I had to remove the old limits before I could set new limits. After I did this, the new limits set immediately.The next set-up step was to get the shade connected to wi-fi. I first downloaded the Tuya app for my iPhone but had trouble connecting the shade to the network with it. Then I tried the Smart Life app and it connected nicely. I also have it connected to Google Home. I can say "OK Google, Raise the Roller Shade" to open it. Voice commands also work for closing it or stopping it at a certain % of the way down. As an unexpected treat, I was able to create a Routine in Google Home that automatically raises the shade a half hour after sunrise and lowers it a half hour after sunset based on my geographical location. I might fine-tune these times as I go along but the fact is that it works very well.One thing I was unsure about was the remote control. It seemed quite flimsy and fragile. It fell about three feet off a table and the front of it popped off. Fortunately I was able to snap it back in place. Actually, I will probably be using voice commands and timed schedules more than the remote. However, I was concerned that it might fail, as I might need it in the future to reset limits or change some other setup detail. I emailed my concern about the remote to Graywind and they promptly replied that they will send me a replacement.Overall, I am very happy with the shade and I hope it lasts me a long time. I am also very impressed by Graywind’s quick order turn-around time and their excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

I have almost Alexa-fied my house except the blinds. So I first ordered two of this smart blinds. They were excellent so I ordered total eight blinds from the seller. I have uploaded a video showing the Alexa voice controlled operation of the blinds. In short great smart blinds and excellent customer service. Below is the list of pros and cons:One important thing about shipment time. It will show you months to ship but they will appear in 2-3 weeks!!!1. Excellent customer service. The best I have seen in my Amazon’s 7 yr experience. I could easily give 10 stars just for their prompt responses and helpful discussions over the email. They will customize your order as per your need. Thanks a lot ‘Tina’ and the team!2. Very good material of the blind.3. Smart blind, voice controlled, battery operated, schedule operation. It also has a remote to operate individual blinds or all of them in one click.4. You can set schedule in the Alexa app once you add all the blinds in Geeklink app and the hub. You can group your blinds as you need in the Alexa app.5. It is battery operated which is a big plus as you don’t have arrange cords to power. I have just used them for a week. Let’s see how long the charge remains. I run the blinds twice as by schedule (open in the morning, close at night).6. Installation is very easy. Only you have to drill two per blinds (inside mount).7. Charging port is outside so easy to plug in when needs charging.8. When many blinds are ordered, they pre program the remote so you do not have go through any programming. Just add it in the app.Cons:1. Nothing at all except the Geeklink app has only three controls (open, close, stop). Hope they add voice prompt such as “open 20%” or. “Close 50%” etc.2. The programming of the blinds with the remote can get tricky. You just have to follow the steps.3. I have seen sometime one of the blinds in the group will not operate as scheduled. Not sure what were the issue. But you can close it by remote/app/voice command4. The sound of the motor may feel too loud. Indeed it is loud. But it will not wake you up :)Overall I am very satisfied with the product and the excellent customer service (they even offer discounts when you buy many of the blinds). Lets see the longevity and the charging frequency. Will update if any issue or not upto the commitment.

We were impressed the custom product arrived 6 days early. The communication was excellent via messaging with the seller. They confirm specific details before constructing the blind.We installed it yesterday and the installation was straightforward. It took about 15 minutes start to finish, mainly due to measuring bracket placement. We got the motorized version since we have curtains to hide the power cord. I added the Graywind app, and that took a bit of toying and got it set up through Google Home. Note that if you use Google Home, it only can open fully or close fully (versus partial movement). This is noted in the product description, so I was aware. I was able to add the device, set voice commands, and schedule on Google Home. The remote control settings come factory set and are easy to modify using the instructions. The quality is exceptional. We picked the white linen, with fabric valance and fabric bottom that holds the bar. It is truly black out level and substantial feel. We are ordering another blind today from Graywind!

I would have easily given this 5 stars. However, there is a design flaw in the brackets causing the shade to not install properly. The shade works, but it is not properly clamped to the brackets. This is an issue because it will affect the longevity of the product. This doesn't seem like a defect in my particular unit. The springs in the clamps work perfectly fine, and I have double-checked that. The springs are simply not powerful enough and/or the hooks are not long enough to properly clamp the shade. My unit has 4 brackets and 2 out of 4 can not properly clamp. See attached photos, which show all 4 brackets. Note that two have properly clamped and two have not. No amount of fiddling around will allow the other two brackets to clamp because they simply falls out every time.UPDATE:Got excellent support from the company. They sent me new brackets but they did not help. Still, I managed to eventually fiddle with everything to finally attach it correctly. The support agent told me they are actively making stronger brackets. Once they send me them, I'll update this to 5 stars. Would buy it again.UPDATE 2: Still receiving excellent support from the company. Any issue I have they will help me troubleshoot until there is a solution. Really great support.

Overall, a really good shade. Has some pros and cons tho:Pros: Hardware is great, looks nice and great function. Fits perfectly as marketed. Company works very had and does whatever they can to help out. Works great with Google Home voice controls.Cons: Alexa voice control SW is lacking, you have to set up groups or routines to control the shades properly (took a lot of troubleshooting to figure this out). Google voice controls do this without a problem. Also, the instruction book is missing key info...like how to reset the remote. It took a video conference with the company to figure out how to reset factory settings they didn't set right.Overall, I would buy more and recommend. Knowing the info above prior to buying them would have saved me many hours, frustrations, and a video conference with the company.

My husband and I are both sensitive sleepers and require pure darkness to fall asleep. That dark environment also makes it difficult to wakeup in the morning, so we started looking into smart blinds that would open in the morning at whatever time we specify. We found that these types of blinds can be extremely expensive, but luckily Amazon came to the rescue!These are custom made to fit your exact specifications and with any additional features you choose! Because it's custom made, it took about 3-5 weeks from the time it was ordered to the time it delivered. We were in awe at how perfectly the shade fit in our window. The very simple yet thorough instructions on how to install and how to download the mobile app and setup the smart device sync was so easy.We do have blackout curtains on each side of the window to prevent the light that gets through the edges, but I think they have an option for a light blocker on the right and left edges of your window. Not something we needed, but it's a nice option.This purchase has made us so happy and makes waking up so much more enjoyable and easy. Totally 100% recommend!

One of the best home purchases I've ever made! I was worried about the sizing since my sliding door was pretty big, but no issues, measurements were perfect. The installation system is very simple, it just took me a while since I didn't have any help and the door is so high up. The remote works great and my favorite part is the Google Assistant capability. I like that I can schedule the shade to move at certain times of the day automatically. The price was also good, other companies wanted to charge me over $1000. It did arrive with a small dent in the roller cover, but once mounted it can't even be seen. The shade also arrived quicker than expected. Initially said 1.5-2 months, but arrived in 3 weeks. Overall, super satisfied with this purchase and now my dad wants one as well.

Their configurator is awesome, I as able to configure 4 different window dimensions (1 of which is a wired version, part of a different purchase), and was able to install them all perfectly by myself. Love the app as well, all the shades are programmed to open and close automatically and they've been working perfectly, the battery seems to be holding up great after months of use.
