I got one of these Smart Blind Motor for my elderly mother and it is so good it was mentioned in a care audit report of her. It has made such a difference for her as she used to sit for hours with the blind closed before it got dark,
Ajax support blew me away – amazing support and advice even when the problem I had turned out to be the wifi signal and not their problem.
If you have an elderly parent or just want to close the blinds for security you must get one. And not just for roller blinds – I connected it to her horizontal blind – perfect.

I had been looking for something like this for a while. So glad I found the Ajax blind engine. It was really easy to install and set up. Good clear instructions and all worked first time. It was so good, I went to the Smart Life app to add the blind engine and, as I had the app already for other products, it had automatically added the blind engine! I am extremely satisfied and would recommend this product to anyone.

I ordered two of these blind motors and I am highly impressed with them.
They are good quality, were super quick & easy to install, setup and integrate into my existing smart home system. I had the pair of them all up and running in a little over 30 minutes. I am pleased to say that they operate very accurately once the open/close positions have been set and they are smooth and quiet.
Customer support is also excellent. Having had to confirm by email different delivery and billing addresses, I was lucky enough to have my delivery upgraded. Ajay was very quick to respond to emails even out of hours, as I found out after thanking him for the delivery upgrade and letting him know that the products had arrived and were all quickly and successfully setup.
I have no doubt that I shall be purchasing more goodies from here soon!

The Coach- Easy to use blind automation (verified owner) –
Simple to install and seems to work well. I’m using it on a fairly heavy fabric Roman blind but it seems to cope quite happily with it. No problems adding it to the Smart Life App (which I already use for other ‘smart’ devices) and Alexa discovered it immediately and voice control works fine with it.

I have bedroom curtains controlled by a cord loop and was hoping to find a device to electrically power them. This arrived yesterday and it works brilliantly. The motor unit is quite powerful. These curtains are heavy – velvet and lined 4m wide by 3m high but the device seems to move them fine. Connecting it to the chord, fitting to the wall, connecting to Wi-Fi and to the Smart Life app all went exactly as the instructions suggested. The Smart Life app has been updated a bit since the instructions were written but it was still straightforward. Setting up the open and close limits worked fine. And so now I have buttons on my iphone and Siri voice Commands set up to open and close – and also to partially open (you can choose a Percentage open). I just hope it don’t wear it out now. Can’t resist playing with it. Can’t imagine what the neighbours must be thinking.

I can’t recommend The Smart Blind Motor enough. It does everything I need it to and more. The Smart Blind Motor is flexible and versatile and set up was easy as 1…2…3. This product is one of those products you don’t fully appreciate until you have it. It’s a must have product for any smart home enthusiast. It has made my life easier and provided great convenience and peace of mind, in regards to scheduling and the home security that comes from that. A UK based Customer service and technical assistance is fantastic and made the whole purchase process a breeze!

I’ve been looking at a few smart blind motor options; from motors connected directly in the blind tube & other external blind chain motors. This blind motor seemed the best and most flexible option available. I bought one blind motor at fist, but have ended up buying 6 so far… But this was after sorting out a few ‘user manual’ niggles (the instructions should say ‘Set Up the Chain Motor First’ including the ‘OPEN & CLOSE’ settings. ONLY set up the SMART APP and CONNECT the Blind Motor after you have set up the Chain Motor to work through the buttons on the motor unit. Apart from that niggle everything has been fine setting up the Smart Blind Motor. The only thing to be aware of is that you will most likely have to ‘cut’ and re-join the blind chain, as the Chain Motor needs the blind chain to be ‘tight’ to work. But the ‘connectors’ to reconnect the chain together doesn’t go through the chain motor ‘cog’ (or the main Cog of the blind, might be different with the blind you have)- I have tried various chain ‘connectors’. So to get over this problem, I MELT the blind chain beads; joining one to another. This works fine. If a little fiddly. BLIND MOTOR POSITION: I tried various positions for the motor. on the wall I found straight down 3-4cn from top of windowsill the best place. My blinds are inside the window space. SMART/WIIFI – Every easy, and works well, I use the ‘automation’ so blinds close at sunset and open at sunrise and the blinds work well with ALEXA and Google Home. Plus the remotes you can buy separately work easily.

Decided to automate my 3 blinds in our bay window, after looking round I decided to try the Ajax motor. Initially I purchased 1 unit to see how well it worked. It was so easy to set up and worked so well I have just ordered 2 more units. Instructions are good, had a bit of trouble with the recommended app for some reason but ended up using an existing app that I use for my smart sockets (eFamilyCloud) which worked well and immediately connected to Alexa so I can control the blind with my voice. Well worth the money.

The motor came with A4 simple to follow colour instructions for fitting and setting up with Amazon Alexa and Siri. It was super easy to install and easy to pair with Alexa. My partner struggled to open the blind due to its location and problems with rheumatoid arthritis. But now with the Alexa functionality and the smart life app the blind closes automatically at 1800 and opens at 0800. You might need to lengthen you blind bead string so that the motor isn’t halfway up your window frame which mine was but not s high problem as it solved a bigger problem. Highly recommended so far.

The level of support defied all my expectations. If you enjoy listening to music on hold or robotically being told to press 1 for this, press 2 for that and 3 to go into a black hole you are definitely buying from the wrong company. I can assure you that you will be blown away by the help provided to install the product and the ongoing support should anything go wrong.

Used 2 of these to operate some curtains that are awkward to reach. Work well for this task. Curtains already corded with tensioners so very straight forward to replace them with the motor as a ‘cord’ pulley included in the kit.
Only slight issue is with the instructions for use with Amazon Alexa Echo. The printed instructions are very difficult to read and the ‘commands’ that can be used not evident. A quick email to Ajax was responded to immediately, basically ‘on’ and ‘off’. Overall very happy with purchase.

I find the product and very easy to install and set up. It is robust and is quite capable of lifting 1 & 1.2 meter wide roman blinds and the smaller ones. It is easy to configure with it limits for up & down and set up with Alexa. The unit is robust and solid.

Purchased these blind motors to replace some non smart remote controlled units that were starting to fail..
First class speedy next day delivery. The blinds motors were straightforward to fit. I have a tp_link deco mesh Wi-Fi setup the TuyaSmart app found my 3 units located around the property easily I didn’t even have to select 2.4 GHz band to connect them up. I have the RF remote as a backup and setting that up to use with the blind motors is also straightforward. Using the Alexa routine function you can obviously set them up on a timer and/or have them voice controlled as well in any combination you wish. All in all I could not be happier with the purchase.

Recently purchased the smart blind motor to be used with quite heavy curtains. Works like a dream and am very pleased.

I researched this product before I purchased it. Easy to configure. A few things that could be improved. First, the plug of the power cable should be concealed inside the device so that it’s easier to conceal with trunking. Second, the power adapter has a led light that’s green when in standby and red when the motor is working, this light is blindingly bright. I don’t see the point of having this light there at all.

Needed this for my lounge. Came across this product, looked decent so I decided to give a shot. The build quality is very good. The unit is heavy – largely due to the battery it contains. I first started Alexa and it detected the blind quickly. The buttons work well. Noise isn’t too loud, just a low buzz. Just caution: be careful where you cut your blind cord, since the join WILL NOT pass though the BLING COG it will jam. Ensure that there is plenty of cord before the join reaches the top of the blind near the cog of your blind.
Enrique –
Taran –
Easy to fit, and simple to use. But there are 2 problems I have. First, when the blind is closed, there is not auto-stop, and so the blind keeps moving. Second, some of the buttons are misplaced on the remote. For example, up actually goes down and down goes up. I think maybe there was an error is the product’s manufacture. But overall, I am pleased.
Taran –
Peggy –
Brought six of these to link with my Alexa. I managed to set up new routines with meaningful voice commands like close and open rather than power on and power off. All set up (through Alexa) which is fantastic for me. The noise of the motors is not all intrusive. Fits perfectly.

Great product, was a little unsure about buying at first but glad I did. Motor is well built, got some weight to it and feels solid.

This motor works perfectly it is really easy to install and works seamlessly with voice commands. It will be the blind that needs lubricating or checking for stiffness. Easy to set up. Great product.

Easy to install. Pairing with the Wifi was easy and then pairing with the smart speaker makes it completely voice activated.

Very easy to set up. I needed help on one step, which was how to set the limit. It wasn’t responding on the Smart Home App at first because I forgot that step. Happy customer.

I think the blind is the most difficult part of assembling the kit, but once it works, everything goes well.

These blinds are worth it. Very happy with the smart blinds, it makes it easier to wake up in the morning without getting up to open the blinds or close the blinds.

This product is really easy to set up and install and just works, a bit of luxury, but my blind is in a slightly awkward position.

Paul Joseph –
It was tricky to link to Wifi. Connects to Alexa, Open Close, Alex thinks it’s a switch so you need to say ON OFF

The first one I got was faulty as it would not stop at the points set, but the communication with Ajax Online has been the best I have come across and the new Motor faultlessly

Awesome. Cost effective, if you are in any doubt, go for it, works perfectly

Ok up to now. Easy to install, set up and working within 15 minutes. The joiner can jam on the pulleys – keep an eye out for that as it can stop the motor.

I was somewhat doubtful as to whether my technical skills would be up to programming this and when I cam to do it. Great product. Useful.

Needed this for my lounge. Came across this product, looked decent so I decided to give a shot. The build quality is very good. The unit is heavy – largely due to the battery it contains. I first started Alexa and it detected the blind quickly. The buttons work well. Noise isn’t too loud, just a low buzz. Just caution: be careful where you cut your blind cord, since the join WILL NOT pass though the BLING COG it will jam. Ensure that there is plenty of cord before the join reaches the top of the blind near the cog of your blind.
Enrique –
Taran –
Easy to fit, and simple to use. But there are 2 problems I have. First, when the blind is closed, there is not auto stop, and so the blind keeps moving. Second, some of the buttons are misplaced on the remote. For example up actually goes down and down goes up. I think maybe there was an error is the product’s manufacture. But overall, I am pleased.
Taran –
Peggy –
Brought six of these to link with my Alexa. I managed to set up new routines with meaningful voice commands like close and open rather than power on and power off. All set up (through Alexa) which is fantastic for me. The noise of the motors is not all intrusive. Fits perfectly.
Peggy –
Sasha –
Perfect and initially brought this. I had a few issues but Ajax Team helped me. I brought a remote control too, which allowed me to be in control. So far so great!

We have been looking for something like this for a while, mainly to close our front vertical blinds when we are away from home at night and reopen them in daytime. My purchase was exactly what I wanted, really easy to set up, connect to home router, and Goggle home. However, it was a little tricky stopping the blinds at the desired open position, when scheduled, I rang customer services for advice and they were very helpful, it was just a minor error in my understanding of the instructions. A very handy unit. Recommended

Really impressed with these, I have three. They provide a neet way of controlling corded curtains and blinds. This is cheaper than buying electric tracks and blinds and allows more choice. It would also allow me to change the blind or curtain track separate from the motor, a bit more relevant to blinds where the blind and roller mechanism tend to work as one. It controls a big 2.5m blind with ease and the soft start of the motor makes a nice smooth operation. I could not get an ‘all in one’ electric blind this size so it’s quite a big ask.
Setting up can be a bit tricky, I found the best way was to turn off 5ghz wifi whilst you setup. once done though it’s worked perfect. I control via Alexa and have a few virtual switches for my hub(hubitat) to interact via alexa.

This is the sixth of these motors I have bought. One of them stopped working while under warranty and was replaced at no charge.
I use them both for blinds and curtains that are difficult to reach and they certainly make life a lot easier and enhance our security with timed opening & closing (along with a wifi light switch)

I’m so happy with my purchase. I worried about the 2.4GHz but contacted BT prior to purchasing and they confirmed I had both 2.4 and 5GHz. I connected to Smartlife App and it worked straight away. I am using the motors with vertical blinds to tilt open and close. I separated the draw cord and only connected the chain to the motor. I fixed the draw cord to the wall beside the motor. It doesn’t hang straight down now but is not seen and still works well.

I bought this unit as a solution to dark early nights and really requiring blinds to be closed before (scheduled smart) interior lights come on.
The produce works pretty well so far. It feels well made, installation instructions are concise and service from Ajax has been fantastic.
As it performs as it has been described, I feel 4 stars is a fair score however I feel there are a few areas it could be improved. All my other devices that work with smart life have been flawless to setup. This one however proved a little troublesome. I wholly recommend following the provided instructions to the letter rather than just letting the app take over and ‘automatically’ set it up for you. Also, DO NOT forget to set the limits of the device as not doing so renders the unit non functional.
Scheduling is also lacking somewhat. There is no option within the smartlife app to ‘follow’ the difference in sunrise and sunset times when scheduling. With Google automation this is an option, but unfortunately not possible as the only options for control of this device are start, stop, pause & resume. I’m hoping this is just a software thing and will be sorted in due time…. Hopefully before the winter/ summer solstice…. 😬
