HI NIxjuh,
My apologies for the long period of radio silence, it’s been quite busy!
If you still looking for a solution to make your non-smart blinds smart, the Iblinds motor is perfect.
I received it as a present from my wife for my birthday last February. ![]()
The installation was rather easy, First, you remove your blinds from the window frame, then take out the tilt rod and tilt mechanism. After removing the tilt rod and mechanism, you can place the motor in the blinds, I had to use the height adapter plate as well.
Make sure the cords for the tilt mechanism run in between the height adapter plate and the motor itself, otherwise there will be too much tension on the cord and you can’t lower the blinds.
(trust me on this one
)
After that, you can install the button for manual operation/charge port in the spot where the cords originally came from. you then connect this to the motor and place the battery close to the motor and plug it in, (or the solar panel if you bought it.)
After that, you download the iblinds app on your Homey and it will guide you through the pairing process. it’s all pretty self-explanatory.
I made the following flow for it and it works like a charm! ![]()
I also incorporated it into some other flows, but you get the idea.
P.S. If your looking for a place to buy it in Europe you need to purchase it from the following link:
