I may have written one or two reviews in my life, usually for bad products. I have honestly never found a product that I was so pleased with I felt that I should write a review. We searched for blinds for our new house for months, all the box stores, the custom window treatment stores, etc. No matter how you slice it, even with the best sales of the year you will pay $400 per window for basic motorization at these places, more if its smart. We found Yoolax and bought all the samples, finally settling on different selections for every room because there were so many great color selections. I screwed up my order and decided to downgrade to the RF only hub (I bought a Bond bridge for my fans already, and this saves $40 per blind). The seller responded immediately, downgraded the motor to the RF motor that I wanted, and even threw in an extra remote just to be nice. Delivery took 7 days to the eastern US during the holiday season, so even with the customization, they are doing well with shipping. Installation was extremely simple, note that the instructions to leave something to be desired, and for my inside window installation it was much better to mount the brackets to the vertical sides of the window opening rather than the top. This allows the shade to sit much closer to the top of the window, and must be the intended location by the manufacturer because my blinds opened EXACTLY to the bottom of the window opening, I didnt have to do any fine tuning at all. With the RF motor, the bond hub picked the remote up immediately, imported all the controls, and I was controlling my shades with my Alexa, phone, remote and a wall switch all within minutes. I was worried about the RF motor being an older or less reliable version, but it is much quieter than expected and seems to have no integration issues with my smart systems. Only things I wish they did differently 1) The remotes are actually really nice looking, and magnetically drop into their mount which is nice, however, the remote cannot seem to control all the blinds at once like my smart system does. That would be a nice feature. 2) This may be fixed on the newer system and isnt that big of a deal since they do include a power cord. I would prefer it to be upgraded to USB-C from micro-USB as I am doing my best to get rid of all the older Micro USB throughout my house and just have one type of charging cord. Just a minor annoyance that Micro-USB is still around. Overall, I would strongly recommend these blinds. For the price of a dumb blind from a box store you are getting a high quality smart blind.

I chose this brand among several options because they offered samples before purchasing. This is critical for me to select right color and pattern. The installation is relatively easy. When I ordered it, I chose the reverse roll. But when I tried to install it, I changed my mind and wanted to do standard roll backside so that the shade is closer to the window. I thought about it and realized that I could open one side and reverse the roll to achieve that. The only difference is that the motor is on the right side instead of left side. That is totally fine. The instruction for the Alexa setup is a little bit misleading as it says to install "Brand app". It turned out to be Youlax. As soon as I got that from customer service, the setup is done and I can run it with remote control, my phone and Alexa. Very neat product! Read more

The size was perfect, EXACTLY what I ordered. Mounting didn't go smoothly. It calls for first drilling 0.2 inch holes. In the US, there is no such thing as a 0,2 inch hole, the closest thing is 13/64 which is 0.203 inches. This ended up too small to fit the cheap plastic sleeves provided with the shade. You might have to use your own hardware or bigger holes. Once mounted things worked well with the remote that came with the shade, it worked fine by just connecting the batteries. When ordering, I thought I might not need the remote because I was connecting to a Zigbee hub. However, the remote is REQUIRED to setup parameters on the shade that can not be done through my Zigbee hub. I'm really glad I spent the $19 on the remote. I also found that I have used the remote when I didn't want to deal with going on-screen to control the shade. My biggest problem was getting the shade to pair with my Zigbee Hub. The instructions were no help. I tried doing a factory reset, which only managed to make the remote inoperable. Once getting the remote working again, I moved my Zigbee Hub near the shade, but I still could not pair. I kept playing with buttons over and over again, until finally the shade started flashing yellow. Then it paired right away. I have no idea how I got it into pairing mode, but if you can't get a continuous flashing yellow light it will never pair. Be aware, if you do a factory reset, you MUST pair the remote before connecting to a hub because the top and bottom limits must be set before running over the limits with an up or down command. I also spent the extra $2.00 to get the USB connector cord. A good investment, so I can leave the unit permanently plugged in and not worry about running out of battery. Read more
