Not ready for prime time
UPDATE 01/2018: Whatever genius they hired as an app developer must have gotten his certification from inside a cereal box, because the one update in the last year completely broke the app for Android, it now simply crashes on open and so these blinds are next to worthless unless I decide to switch to an iPhone. Zero customer communication, terrible experience all around. So first off, I found this item on a list of "Works With Alexa" items. If it had known that was so far from true I wouldn't have purchased them. There is ZERO ability to integrate with Alexa, not even with IFTTT. Supposedly the iPhone app works fairly well, but the Android version is a train wreck, and even though I'm on the Beta Test list with a "new" version, I think they have one developer working 1/4 time on it or something, because it literally takes months for minor version releases and the remote control button/switch I also purchased is like 3 versions away from being included. Basically it seems like a small company that blew up faster than they were able to handle, and they're having major, major growing pains. The blinds themselves work fairly well, the battery life estimate of "6 to 12 months" between charges is laughable, more like 2-3 months at most. Didn't get the solar panel because until they fix the apps and integrations I'm not sending them even more of my money.
