Blind Engine 17+

(Post 5-Dec-2021) The app hasn’t been updated in a year. While the basic functions work, there are annoying issues.
Example: It does not adapt to Dark Mode which renders the User Interface unusable when you iPhone is in Dark Mode. The interface refreshes every time you navigate away from the app. So if you need to force you iPhone into Light Mode and return the UI refreshes. That would not be a problem, but the refresh is slow.

I no longer recommend the app given the length of time since the last update.

It’s not a solid app that’s well written. Hard to get set up and funky places to hit save but eventually you can get it programmed. One thing that is an issue is the automatic summer winter mode to detect daylight won’t let you set open and close times that are backwards (open at dark, close at light) but that’s exactly what I need because the motors are attached to a sun screen on my back porch. So I do want them lowered in the bright light and raised all the way up (ie stored) when it gets darker but this app won’t let me do that.

The app used to disconnect from my blinds when I left my home, and I would have to reconnect them every time I came back. Now, I don’t even have to leave home. They disconnect even if I don’t leave the house. When I pick up my phone to close the blinds, I have to go through the repairing process each time. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I thought I was saving money going with these blind motors, but I’m sorry I wasted my money. I would have much rather paid a little more for an system that is more intuitive and less inconvenient.
