I really wanted to like it because other people seem to like it and it will make my life so much easier. I was tired of opening and closing the blinds every morning and evening and thought this would be the solution. I first tried using a blind along with a solar panel and a ZigBee remote. Everything works fine, but it takes a certain Amazonian echo to plan, which is my goal in the end. So I even bought an Echo Plus (2nd Gen) (for about $100 extra). I was able to recognize the device with some effort, but Alexa doesn't know how to actually open and close it. I know it's not an Echo or Alexa issue because I have an Echo plug that works through it. I gave up after many attempts and decided not to buy more shadows as planned if everything should work out, because now the planned automation doesn't seem like a good option to me. --- Update --- I found a Zigbee compatible hub called AduroSmart ERIA Zigbee Home Hub/Gateway (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HHKGW8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). . It recognizes the blind and its app can schedule opening and closing as needed. I love it! I'm waiting for the new blinds and will order more! --- Update --- bought "Moes Tuya Zigbee 3.0 Hub Gateway" to try instead because AduroSmart kinda works only for some blinds, I use the remote all the time which I don't want - I want to automate . Found "Moes Tuya Zigbee 3.0 Hub Gateway" and it works great for ALL 9 blinds I have.
