I would like to thank the company for delaying the warranty for me, because I brought this back in December 2020 for one of my christmas presents from all the family but could not get it fitted because of Lockdown, my son came and fitted it for me on the 1st May 2021 and here is a video of the blind working.
I am very happy with it. It was very easy to fit and after some trial and error I finally got it to go up to where I wanted to stop and to go down to the bottom and stop. Love i
Slowly our home is turning into a smart home and automated bedroom blinds were some of the icing on the cake. After some research I chose the Ajax Online blind engine. Having ordered it from Amazon, it arrived the next day in very smart packaging that you would expect from a high end product, along with very comprehensive installation and setting up instructions. (for some bits you need good eye sight!) The installation is an absolute piece of cake and the supplied template makes any hole drilling very simple. I found out that it’s imperative to follow instructions to the letter, particularly the setting of the up and down limits before you start on anything else. Once the Smart Life app is installed, Alexa found the blind engine fairly quickly and you will need to set-up an Alexa routine, which is fairly straightforward. Unfortunately, just as I got to the Alexa routine I heard an electrical pop! The supplied power supply had failed tripping my fuse box. it was a Sunday afternoon – I thought I’d try and phone Ajax, only to get a message that the office was closed until Monday. Fair enough, I thought, only to receive a call on my mobile from Ajay at Ajax a short while after, asking how he could help. I explained and without hesitation he arranged for a replacement power supply to be dispatched. All now working perfectly and very happy with the product and excellent service from Ajax. I’ll probably be buying a second blind engine shortly.
Once installed it’s great, having problems with the app, but will try again, also brought the remote for ease
Own 4 of these now, and have been installed for nearly a year. Install is incredibly easy, setting up through the app and alexa is pretty simple too. Very minor gripe is that every now and again the bottom point goes out by maybe 10-15mm, but when this happens it takes less than 30 seconds to re-set the bottom limit.
was easy to mount, had to follow the instructions, which are easy to follow, found the direction switch a bit too small for my eyes to see, could do with making the switch easier to see, & switch over if required
very happy with the unit, & works well with alexa
My first blind engine, so these are immediate/first reaction comments
a) needed to tweak the blind slightly as cord was far too long, looking at my other blinds,
they will probably all need some work to get engine positioned sensibly.
b) the mounting plate seems odd, looks like it could screw into frame, but template provided
set unit some way away from window frame
c) mounting unit as per template meant that the blind snagged on it, moved it out 2cm and its fine
Others have said noisy and/or slow, although I don’t have much to compare it with, it is pretty
much as I expected (similar to a powered curtain track I have)
pairing and getting connected to Alexa took 2 attempts, but after that “close blind”, “open blind”
working within 10 minutes 🙂
With the aid of the online videos this is easy to install and works well.
I am using it to close curtains (rather than blinds) and it works on standard corded track.
I will probably buy more for other rooms. Can’t yet link it to Google Home but that is probably my lack of computer skills!
Not the easiest to set up and not fully compatible with my other smart controls (Alexa & smart things) but can operate it no problem from its own app. Alexa will operate it if you specify a percentage for the open/close function. I love having the ability to operate my blind remotely and it’s quite a heavy blind but this can open it with ease.
I purchased this item in October it was easy to fit a bit fiddly to set the upper and lower limits but easy to connect to my Alexa and set up the remote operations. However what really set this as 5 star was the excellent customer service I received from Ajax online when I approached them regards a query the response was fast efficient and they even contacted me to check the issue was sorted. Beyond excelle
Love this product. The packaging and instructions are all very clear, with sizing and fitting tools all provided. I was very impressed by the customer friendly approach.
Installation itself was easy, if you can drill two holes into a wall you are 90% there. You fit the blind chain into the motor using any 3 of the suitable cogs provided (depending on your type of blind chain) and then slot the motor into a holder that screws into the wall and then Voila!
It works so well with my Zebra blinds and I’ve added a automatic schedule so it so it opens and closes the slots in the blind for evening blackout and morning daylight times. Effortless.
I connected to my wifi in 30 seconds. I haven’t connected to Alexa yet as I don’t think I would use the function, it serves its purpose for me to just open and close the slots in my zebra blind on morning and evening schedules.
If I was to be picky, I cannot automatically wind the blind all the way up if I wanted to manually open (override the slot open and close settings ) without having to restore to factory settings. I don’t see that as a big problem as can do that every 6 months for window cleaning etc if need be.
Also it’s not very aesthetic as it’s quite bulky and sits outside on the side of recessed window over the blind edge. But I can live with it. It’s not so noisy for the short movements for my open and close function (literally seconds) so it’s not noticeable for me.
All in all, very pleased with the ease of use and set up and happy to recommend this.
Took a long time to install as had issues setting the limits. The instructions on this bit are not clear at all. Also make sure the tension is right to get the right pull on the cord. However I finally got there and can honestly say its a great bit of kit. Works perfectly with alexa and now have my blinds to open and close on timer.
I think the blind is the most difficult part to install as you have to get the drop correct. Oh here is a hint make sure if there is a join in the blind cord to have the join at the top or the bottom as it wont work if it goes through the device. Its not the most elegant of solutions but it works and good value for money. I am very happy with mine as it is in a difficult window to reach and now I don’t have too. 🙂
I was somewhat doubtful as to whether my technical skills would be up to programming this and when I came to do it was proved right! I need not of worried because the Ajax support was fantastic and sorted it all out for me, I learned a lot myself too.
This works great with Alexa. My blinds are in an awkward to reach window. Now I can tell Alexa to open and close them with no problem.
Very easy to install, works a treat. Exactly what we were looking for and works very well with our Amazon echo. The instructions seem to be for a slightly older version of the app, but it didn’t cause a problem. The step by step guide was great.
Excellent product and such a joy to have the blinds opening automating in the morning!
Ajax online blind motor has been faultless since using it well worth the money especially when using with Alexa to control or set up a schedule. Recently moved house and lost the replacement gears for new blinds. However contacted Ajax online and they have sent me a new set free of charge sent 1st class. Excellent customer service. Thank you for saving me grief from wife so she can now get Xmas tree up lol.
Instructions could be slightly better wasnt aware of having to set the limits of the open close found a video eventually to explain how other than that very straight forward to install setup again watch video but easy when you have
I had a few questions about it and the supplier is really helpful. I have recommended them to many people. The blind opening is good, works and is lasting well. It isn’t as elegant as a built in solution but is very fit for purpose.
This product is really good and value for money. Works perfectly with Alexa and Siri from my experience and is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommended!
Easy to install, set up and working within 15 mins.
The joiner can jam on the pulleys – keep an eye out for that as it can stop the motor.
Great product easy to install after a phone call to Ajax online, they talked me through all the stages from start to finish, paired up easily with Alexa, thank you so much I will shortly purchase another 2 motors
This is a product I got because I thought it was cool.. and it is 😀
I’d recommend this product to those that have an Alexa or other smart home devices as they work best with those due to voice commands.
The most useful feature assuming you’re in a routine is the automation. It has settings within the products app (Smart Life) that allows you to open and close the blinds using time based actions. When you wake up, the blinds can open and at a specific time.. close.
This I feel would be great for elderly if they have blinds so they don’t have to close them manually. Should the automation not run, they have buttons on the motor to manually press open or close.
Although pricey, with warranty, I say its worth the cost for the convenience of them. Highly recommend!
Struggled with setting the limits, but contacted the company and he helped straight away and got the issue sorted quick.
Works well
It is worth planning how you will install this before hand, in my case I realised it would be better if I changed the blinds chain mechanism to the other side (was on the left, moved it to the right) because then the motor would be closer to a mains socket and it would be easier to conceal the cable. Installation is super simple, especially if you are a DIYer, but if you’re reading these reviews and looking to buy a product like this then you’re most likely one.
The instructions to set your upper and lower limits could be clearer, it took me a while to understand them and had to look it up online. Basically what you need to do is draw the blinds up to the highest setting you want, then once they’re there press and hold the stop button until the lights flash, press the down button and let it lower the blinds and when it reaches your desired lowest point press the stop button, that’s it!
Configuring the blinds on the Smart Life app is very simple as well, I always configure my IoT devices in AP Mode as I find it much easier. If you already had Google Home linked to Smart Life then you will already be able to control the blinds through assistant.
I have installed this motor on my bedroom’s roman blinds which are fairly big at 183cm wide and 211cm high, the motor is able to cope with them fine, though a bit slower than I was expecting. It will close them in 1min 55 secs and open them in 2 mins.
Lastly, the motor is reasonably quiet. At first I thought it wasn’t when I first operated it and was right next to it, but then I realised that I couldn’t hear it from the room next to mine or anywhere else in the house. Which wasn’t the case when opening/closing the blinds manually, you could hear that all over the place! So that’s a nice bonus.
A couple of things I wish they had done better on the design:
1. The plug for the power cable should be concealed inside the device so that it’s easier to conceal with trunking etc (see attached pic)
2. The power adapter has a led light that’s green when in standby and red when the motor is working, this light is blindingly bright! I don’t see the point of having this light there at all. I had to cover it with white pvc tape as it’s in my bedroom close to my bed.
Very pleased with this. Does exactly what it says it will. Recommend watching the instruction videos on Amazon as they are easier to follow than the paper instructions. Easy to set up on Amazon Alexa.
Really easy to fit. Not connected to WiFi yet but I’m sure the video’s will help.
Great bit of kit. I had a couple of issues trying to get the blinds to open on the app but phoned the technical support and they talked me through the process which was so easy.
Very easy to set up. I needed help on one step, which was how to set the limit.
It wasn’t responding on the Smart Home App at first because I forgot that step.
The Helpline Support at Ajax were super helpful.
Basically you use up button, stop it at the top, hold the Stop button for six seconds and then close the blinds and hit Stop.
That tells it the range.
After that, it was very easy.
Happy customer here.

I found the best way to install these is to bye a continuous train on an eBay
you can get them 50cm drop up to 2 metres drop
Responded to email within minutes when I had connection problem. Quickly resolved.
Gwy
Automation includes scheduling, and conditions
Controlled by Optional remote, Smart life, Tuyu Apps, Alexa, Google smart speakers, Siri
Set Alexa routines to lower or raise the blind by a percentage
Hey Google lower blind 30%
Don’t over tension the cable otherwise it will be noisy and wear quicke
Fitted and working very easy, have got the Motor on curtains, they run nice and smooth.
Really pleased with this product. Had some difficulty pairing up to my home wifi system, so rang the phone number provided and I was dealt with professionally and with a great deal of patience. My problem was resolved and I cannot speak too highly of the gentleman who assisted me.
I highly reccommend Ajax Online and would not hesitate to buy their products again.
Took less than 10 minutes to install, had to ball the support phone number, which I was pleasantly surprised was answered on a Sunday by a very helpful gentleman who was entertaining his children outside!!!.
The motor is a bit loud, but compared to the comfort of not having to reach for the string, its a minor issue. Also, i would probably not operate these more than 2 or if 3 times a day.
Highly recommended, was very easy to link with Google home (I’m sure it’ll be the same with Alexa).
Perfect. Able to integrate with Alexa and control from Internet. Works well with vertical slat blinds.
Fitted to close/open slats on vertical blinds on front window.
Worked so well that purchased another unit for back window vertical blinds.
very easy and quick to install. Pairing with the wifi was easy and then pairing with the smart speaker makes it completely voice activated. a bit noisy to start with but you soon get used to i
No adjustments needed, works with Google assistant.
A bit noisy, but its fine.
I attached this to my front room window blackout roller blind which is 2.4m x 1.65m. The instructions provided are easy to follow and was setup in around 10-15 minutes.
NOTE: In order to setup on this blind, I had to upgrade the fittings to metal ball and metal brackets and the ones supplied were plastic and smaller than the standard fittings. This is not a refelction on this product as it works as described provided you have a quality blind to start with.
Now I have upgraded the blind installation bits, it works perfectly.
I also have the remote which is easy to use, but I have added it to smartthings / alexa so I can raise and lower my blind by voice command. I put this in a routine and now its perfection!
Purchased this for a patio door blind. Because the chain is so long for the length of a door, the mechanism struggled with the chain joint. It worked every now and again but not fit for purpose. Would have worked fine on a smaller window. So I contact the seller and within a few minutes had a reply asking for the measurements and they would look for a continuous loop chain. I hadn’t heard of such a thing! Anyway Covid 19 happened and the chain they got from another supplier got delayed. Finally arrived and worked perfectly. Set it up with Alexa and all works perfectly. The communications I had from that first contact all way through was great. Highly recommend the device. And if you need a long pull – get a continuous chain from Amazon for about 5. They come in 1.5m or 2m lengths and so best get that first before installing the blind mechanism so it’s in the right place. Great product and great service.
This product is really easy to set up and install and just works. Yes, it’s a bit of a luxury, but my blind is in a slightly awkward position, so this device is absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend it and the seller who was very supportive when I had a query.
Brilliant product. They look really nice, not obtrusive. Manual controls but connected to Alexa which was really simple and this is what I wanted. I did not want a remote control, I wanted voice activation with manual controls as a fallback. Great product, I actually bought one to try out and was so impressed I bought a second unit. Each unit comes with a really good fitting kit and instructions. The motor is smooth and quiet. I really recommend this product.
So far so good, works with Alexa and the app is great too
Despite my dubious suspicions the system works very well. It bound to Alexa and my phone quickly and faultlessly. Mounting was easy and quick. Nice mounting aid with easy to understand instructions. Nice one ajax.
Brilliant, easy to follow instructions works great with Alexa, a bit bulky but it’s a small downside for a well engineered product.
I’ve only just installed and configured the blind motor but that was quick, both to install and the delivery from Ajax online.
Ajax onlines instruction (in the box) made fitting easy and quick for the motor and configuring with my network.
Used this for my vertical blind. Excellent product Excellent service
Easy installation with very clear instructions.
Syncing with TuyaSmart was again a simple process aided by clear, concise pictorial instructions.
So far in use for 4 weeks with no problems.
A good security solution.
a great item. Well made and so far very reliable, am so impressed that I have bought 2 more for other blinds. You can operate it via a mobile using the app from anywhere in the world so people will think someone is at home so great for security as well.
A little pricey compared to other smart home gadgets but also much cheaper than built in wifi motors.
Have it set up to automatically open the blinds is the morning and close at night. Much better than an alarm clock as I can’t press snooze on the sun!
Did miss one morning opening but have since sealed from using Alexa routines to timer in the app directly and hasn’t happened since.
Overall very happy
Installation straightforward.
1) Comes with full colour glossy installation instructions, in clear step by step guides; for installation of the device, smart life app setup, alexa setup, google home setup. Clear and easy to follow.
2) Power cable is nice and long.
3) Comes with 3 cogs to suit all types of cord chain
High Quality device.
Customer service 5 star – Ajaxonline, repond to emails even at weekends and very quickly.
Highly recommended A+++++++
A bit loud and does not work 100% with google assistant. Works as intended.,good support. I would buy again.
All in all this decos has helped out a lot. From making it the Struggling of not having to reach over furniture. To close the blinds..
Also closing the blinds when not at home..
Having tried Ikea Trafri and other option in the market.
I was looking for something more open source and that could conect to my Alexa and Google home.
AJAX has all the features i was looking for.
The customer service is a key factor and the response from the team (Ajay) was very prompt. And we got past my conguration queries and had the device working in minutes.
We bought this product for our front blind straight forward assembly. However we did struggle to get it connected to the app and Alexa and when we did we struggled to get it working but when I went onto the website and selected WhatsApp for support Ajay was brilliant spoke me through all steps to get it working and was only on the phone about 5 mins and he told me any more issues to contact him again which is fantastic service and support. Works great afterwards.
I’ve now got mine hooked up to my blinds. I had some problems installing it but called the company and they were fantastic at helping me with the step I missed to get it working.
Motor is a bit noisy but otherwise does the job!
Great product, was a little unsure about buying at first but glad I did.
Motor is well built, got some weight to it and feels solid.
Installed and setup in around 10 minutes.
Was unsure how to setup with IFTTT, emailed support and had a very fast reply with solution.
Easy to install and works great with the App or Siri. Buying a second one!!
Really great piece of kit, which is an relatively inexpensive way to make a smart blind. the only thing I’d say is you need to program the blind before the app works by holding the pause button for 6 seconds then lowering it to where you want the bottom to be. I couldn’t find this on the instructions but I emailed the seller and they solved this for me in a few minutes. Very happy overall
I initially ran into trouble getting the motor set up….the help available from the helpline was fantastic.
This item was very easy to install and is great value for money. The customer service was extremely friendly and helped me through my concerns. Overall, extremely happy with my purchase
Bit expensive (but you get what you pay for). Easy to install and setup, as a wheelchair user I now have independence to open and close binds myself now using Alexa. Importantly for this motor allows me to open & close by degrees g when sun streams directly in my room I can close blinds 25% or more to block direct su
Very easy to fit. Connecting to Alexa took a couple of go’s but probably me not the product.
I am very happy with the smart blinds. It makes it easier to wake up in the morning without getting up to open the blinds or close the blinds. The blinds are very reliable and convenient. It also arrived very quickly. I highly recommend it. I bought one for the bedroom and I’m thinking of buying another one for the living room.
Great product, easy to setup, works with my amazon Alexa. Great value for money! Bought a bunch more for the rest of my home.
Automatically closes our blinds at night, opens them in the morning we use, them via Alexa
This is a fantastic piece of kit, works great with Alexa or on the app alone. Really simple to install and set up. The only slight negatove would be the cost. It is worth the money, but if you need a few of them for a bay window etc. , then it starts to become prohibitive. Brilliant product and will be getting more in the future.
Wow I don’t normally write reviews but I thought I would for this one! It’s awesome. Yes it links to Alexa, no you don’t need a hub. It’s simple to install and link up with Alexa. I works perfectly. It’s very cost effective and I just love it. If you are in any doubt, go for it!
Connecting it to the chord, fitting to the wall, connecting to Wi-Fi and to the Smart Life app all went exactly as the instructions suggested. The Smart Life app has been updated a bit since the instructions were written but it was still straightforward. Setting up the open and close limits worked fine. And so now I have buttons on my iphone and Siri voice Commands set up to open and close – and also to partially open (you can choose a Percentage open).
I just hope it don’t wear it out now. Can’t resist playing with it. Can’t imagine what the neighbours must be thinking.
Excellent device.
Really enjoyed this product. I want blackout blinds at night but natural light in the morning, and this lets me have both! Using the app to set a timer was pretty simple, and so now it goes up by itself every morning.
Great customer service from Ajax too – I broke one of the small gears needed to pull the chain and they got a new one sent out to me really quickly.
I’ve been looking at a few smart blind motor options; from motors connected directly in the blind tube & other external blind chain motors. This blind motor seemed the best and most flexible option available.
I bought one blind motor at fist, but have ended up buying 6 so far… But this was after sorting out a few ‘user manual’ niggles (the instructions should say ‘Set Up the Chain Motor First’ including the ‘OPEN & CLOSE’ settings. ONLY set up the SMART APP and CONNECT the Blind Motor after you have set up the Chain Motor to work through the buttons on the motor unit. Apart from that niggle everything has been fine setting up the Smart Blind Motor.
The only thing to be aware of is that you will most likely have to ‘cut’ and re-join the blind chain, as the Chain Motor needs the blind chain to be ‘tight’ to work. But the ‘connectors’ to reconnect the chain together doesn’t go through the chain motor ‘cog’ (or the main Cog of the blind, might be different with the blind you have)- I have tried various chain ‘connectors’. So to get over this problem, I MELT the blind chain beads; joining one to another. This works fine. If a little fiddly.
BLIND MOTOR POSITION: I tried various positions for the motor. on the wall I found straight down 3-4cn from top of windowsill the best place. My blinds are inside the window space.
SMART/WIIFI – Every easy, and works well, I use the ‘automation’ so blinds close at sunset and open at sunrise and the blinds work well with ALEXA and Google Home. Plus the remotes you can buy separately work easily.
Very happy with this little gadget, really simple to install (helps to watch the first video in the amazon photos). Slightly trickier to setup on the Smart Life app until I read a review that helpfully advised that it’s not Bluetooth, so the category to select is ‘curtain (other)’ and then it will let you put in your WiFi password to connect it up. The app will then control it on your phone. If you want to add Alexa support, search for the Smart Life skill and enable it, then on your Alexa app, set up a routine for opening and another one for closing (and you can choose what to say to make it work). Do all that and it all works like a charm….and it does feel like magic to make your blinds open just by telling them to!
Great item, works well. Extra security for our house when away. Fantastic customer service when I was stupid enough to lose the instructions.
Works great for what I wanted with a Dunhelm 1830mm blind.
A bit fiddly to set up in google but I think that was more me than the unit.
Would have been better if the power plug had been a right angle so that the wiring could be neater but all in all a very good unit.
Need to take the spring out of the blind as this causes extra friction which the motor has to work against.
As the blind us now driven it doesn’t need this spring.
The first one I got was faulty as it would not stop at the points set, but the communication with Ajax Online has been the best I have come across and the new Motor works faultlessly, it works well with Alexa via the Smart Life app.
I am disabled and being able to add my blind to operate with Alexa has made my life a little easire
Love this blind engine. Works perfectly! Shuts and opens the blind on schedule. Easy to set up and use
Very helpful instructions, supplied with a great template to make things easier. Works well with Alexa and also the smart life app lets you set up scheduling to open and close the blinds. Very happy and would recommend.
Works really well, took about 20mins to install(including drilling the holes) and get everything working with Alexa. Very happy with it, if I was being picky the only negative would be the motor is a little noisy but overall very happy.
The product is easy to install and works as expected. I managed to connect it easily to the SmartLife app, and after two weeks the app is controlling the blinds as I want.
Before buying, I had previous, very helpful communication with the company vie email.
Bought this just a few days ago, works really well with my blinds which are quite heavy infact, very good quality. Instructions are a bit unclear however Ajay responded to my email within five minutes, and he gave me his number and issue resolved within ten minutes, that is what I call excellent support. Really good, would recommend!
The motor came with A4 simple to follow colour instructions for fitting and setting up with Amazon Alexa and Siri.
It was super easy to install and easy to pair with Alexa.
My partner struggled to open the blind due to its location and problems with rheumatoid arthritis. But now with the Alexa functionality and the smart life app the blind closes automatically at 1800 and opens at 0800.
You might need to lengthen you blind bead string so that the motor isn’t halfway up your window frame which mine was but not s high problem as it solved a bigger problem.
Highly recommended so far.
Delivered very quickly and set up was very easy. The unit is well made and comes with detailed, easy to understand instructions. Within minutes it was up and running and connected to my Alexa system. An unexpected bonus, as I already had the Smart Life App up and running, Alexa automatically connected to the blind so I had to do nothing to get it working through that! Early days but very impressed so far! Thank you.
Works really well, but shame there’s no solar/battery attachment. It is straightforward to setup and have it working with my Alex
First class product remote walk fine and the Backup from a gent called Ajay absolutely brilliant 200%
Ke
The product does exactly what it says and is great for the price. No hub required. I had a small issue pairing to begin with but the customer service was great and we worked together to find out it was a setting on my hub, quick fix and automatic blinds a happy custome
Setup to open and close at sunset / sunrise in Alexa. Tested ok so can’t see a problem.
Would recommend
Instructions are good, had a bit of trouble with the recommended app for some reason but ended up using an existing app that I use for my smart sockets (eFamilyCloud) which worked well and immediately coonected to Alexa so I can control the blind with my voice.
Well worth the money.
I then bought a second motor for my kitchen blind and that one came with the correct instructions and it worked great, I have both blinds setup on schedules, so I know that my blinds will open and close if I’m away for work.
Recently though, my original blind motor started having problems, the ball chain would slip so the blind only opened or closed part,of the way. I realised that I had used the wrong cog wheel and like a fool I didn’t keep the two other wheels that came with the motor. A call to Ajax resulted in them send out a full set of replacement wheels free of charge. I have now put on the correct wheel and my blind motor is working again.
Overall these two blind motors have been a great investment, I would certainly buy more if and when I get more binds.
item works well and was easy to install. Issues with getting it to sync with wifi but customer service was very quick at replying and helping to get me sorted.
