I recently came across Smartwings’ new HomeKit option for their motorized blinds and decided to give them a try. After reading through the specs, I was impressed by the variety of materials they offer, including options with UV protection and blackout capabilities. The fact that they customize the blinds based on your measurements was a big plus for me, especially since my windows are an unusual size.The setup process was straightforward, and I appreciated the included battery and motor. The battery life they claim—4-6 months between charges—sounds promising, though I’ll need to test it myself. The HomeKit integration via Bluetooth worked seamlessly with my iPhone, though I’m curious about the mention of Thread compatibility in the future. I hope they update their products to support Thread soon, as I know it’s becoming more prevalent in smart home ecosystems.One thing I’m still deciding on is whether to go with the Zigbee version for Alexa and SmartThings integration or stick with the HomeKit option. I’m leaning towards HomeKit for now since that’s my primary ecosystem, but it’s nice to know there are options.Overall, I’m excited about the potential of these blinds to enhance my home automation setup. The ability to control them via voice commands or the Home app is a huge convenience, and the customization options make them a great fit for my home. I’ll keep you updated on how they perform in the long run!
