- Lets' dive into the smart home realm, comparing my experiences with SmartWings blinds I bought from Amazon against those I purchased directly from the company. geni.us/SmartWingsBlackout (Amazon affiliate link) Are you torn between buying your smart blinds from a big retailer like Amazon or directly from the manufacturer? I was too, and in this video, I'm going to share with you everything I learned. I'll take you through the differences in prices, custom options, and the overall shopping experience. As a fan of Apple HomeKit and a curious explorer of the new Matter standard, I also discuss how each purchasing option impacts compatibility and performance, and I'll even let you in on some exclusive deals and coupon codes I discovered.
But there's more! I also get into the nitty-gritty of installation and day-to-day use. Join me as I demonstrate how easy (or challenging) these blinds are to set up, how effective their solar panels are, and how they fit into a smart home setup. I'll share insights on choosing the right motor type based on your needs, and I'll explore how factors like battery life and solar panel positioning can affect your smart blinds' efficiency. If you're considering outfitting your home with smart blinds, this video is your go-to guide for making the best decision.

Great video!! Can you do a comparison of the noise level between these and Lutron?
Yes, I can. It will be tomorrow's video on MDR. czcams.com/video/x6D86tftW_A/video.html It's not apples to apples but its the closest thing.
So awesome to see a video from you!! Long time no chat. Let's talk soon!
Hey Michael. I hope all is well. Definitely let's touch base. Still playing games on Friday nights?
Yes sir still playing those games!
Was there a big problems adding it to other smart home platforms??? Or was it keep giving you no response in all platforms with the Matter motor????
No, its was pretty easy to add to other platforms with maybe a couple attempts. I don't remember specfically which ones I had to attempted 2-3 times but it wasn't anything abnormal (simlar to other adding other Matter products) The Matter motors are "more" non-response when added to mutiple platforms. (So keep it to one) The most reliable is the dedicated Apple Home motors followed by Matter motors only in Apple Home.
are they loud ? i would love to try them.
No, I wouldn't consider them loud. They are actually moving in my video's intro and you can slightly them hear them in the video. I'm not directly mic'ed up so it's audio from the DJI Pocket 3 so it's picking up my voice and the blinds.
Thanks for the tips. What is the device you are flashing the US Flag?
That is the twinkly Squares
@@keepingitrealtoday12 nice! Thx
Yep, they are Twinkly Squares. I don't think I ever did a full video on them but here's a quick look at what they can do - www.amazon.com/vdp/09251d26818a4ef2b32f21bd518ac549?product=B0B4D1J32G&ref=cm_sw_em_r_ib_dt_KzdyDltHkc7KV
