Limited design

I like being able to automate (some) blinds. However the range is less than even my remote controls. How is that possible? You’d think that if the remote can easily reach and communicate, then the much larger powered hub should. It fails to communicate with outdoor rollers that are 5 meters or less away.

Hi Jay, Thank you for your review. This would be a communication interference between the hub and the motors. Please reach out to our Tech Support for assistance. We can be reached at: Email: techsupport@rolleaseacmeda.com Phone: +61 3 9118 8118

Getting better

Although the app/overall solution has room for improvement (renaming a scene doesn’t seem to take but similar issues in past were gradually fixed), I have been happy with the semi regular usability improvements over the last 12m. After having to buy a second hub and almost a third because the range was so poor and losing settings/reprogramming more than once (I have 25 blinds..), I was ready to bin the hubs. 6mth later I had another crack and the pairing process had improved and things are more functional - probably should have been that earlier but that’s tech. I wish I could simply hook the blinds directly into my far more powerful/stable wifi and have a single hub physically plugged into the router to drive the blinds.

Hi Wozzr76, Thank you for your review! We’re always striving to improve. The motors communicate with the hub via RF communication, not Wi-Fi or ethernet connection. There may be other interference within your home that we can assist with. Please contact us for more info: Email: techsupport@rolleaseacmeda.com Phone: +61 3 9118 8118

Still truly terrible

It’s been *years* since my original review and the app and hub are still dreadful.

If you’re reading this it’s probably too late but if you haven’t committed yet go with a different brand.

My original review which is still all true years later on the current firmware: Impossible to get the hub to connect to the app even if it’s showing up fine in HomeKit. I’ve lost count of how many different hard resets and Wi-Fi configuration changes I have needed to make while attempting to make this work. It is probably too late if you’re reading this but choose a different blind brand. These are buggy to the point of being unusable.

Hi toholio, We’re sorry to hear that you’re still experiencing issues. The pairing process has come a long way. We’ve love to hear specifically regarding your issues with pairing. This may be an issue within HomeKit itself. Please reach us for an evaluation: Email: techsupport@rolleaseacmeda.com Phone: +61 3 9118 8118
