Blinds Automation Kit by MySmartBlinds – transform ordinary blinds into smart automated window blinds
MySmartBlinds Automation Kit uses Bluetooth technology to transform your home into a smart home. It gives you control of privacy, temperature, lighting, and security from the palm of your hand. The kit controls the tilting of your horizontal-blinds on a schedule. The demand is sent from your Apple devices running iOS10 or newer or Android devices like Samsung GalaxyS7+S8, Samsung Note8, GooglePixel, and Google Nexus5.
This can maintain the same level of light in your home even when the seasons change, with the sun-tracking feature. This kit is not compatible with mini blinds, roller shades, cordless blinds, or cellular/honeycomb shades. The automation kit does not raise or lower the blinds, but only tilts them.
The automation hardware fits in the blind tray of major brands of blinds. Once your motor is installed, you can download the MySmartBlinds app to your smart device to control your blinds. Set schedules for automatic opening and closing. A new update to the firmware lets you set your blinds to respond to sunlight levels. The energy-saving feature allows you to set a schedule based on the temperature of your home.

There is also a temperature sensor to control the temperature of the room. MySmartBlinds Kit has the right tech and is compatible with Alexa and Google. This brings in the opportunity for voice commands. Users can also set schedules so that the blinds work as needed when you aren’t in range.
Save energy with Energy Savings mode that enables your blinds to close when your home reaches a specified temperature. The solar panel ensures you never need to replace the batteries in your automation kit. The automation kit communicates via Bluetooth, so you will need to be within Bluetooth range to control your blinds. It is also Eco smart. In addition to manual control from your smart device and room scheduling, you can also set your rooms to monitor the temperature. If it gets too hot the blinds will close automatically to help cool things down and open again once the room cools off.
