luckome Each Recharge-600 Times Roll Smart Remote Control Roller Shade Electric Screen Motorized (Fabric :White)

Let me start out by saying that I was very excited to finally get the shades after saving up for them.. I ordered 2 and set up was fairly simple. They worked with the remote but would not connect to me echo dot.. (more to come). Since I was please with the 1st 2 shades. I ordered another one for my bedroom and this is where the problem begins.. After trying everything I could think of I finally gave in and reached out to customer service.. The first issue was that the customer service is located in China and I could not get anyone on the phone.. I was forced to troubleshoot via What's app which was a nightmare.. After a very lengthy chat which included lots of misunderstanding and repeat I was told that I needed a new motor.. A new motor for a shade that has never been used but okay.. The new motor arrived within 2 weeks and after waiting 1 month or so to get someone to help me the new motor was finally put in.. To my disappointment; new motor same problem. I decided to purchase a new echo because apparently the one I had was not the right model.. I wanted to see if the shade would at least connect to the echo since it would not connect to the remote. Trying to connect any of the 3 shades was another headache which requires a download of the yoolax app. The only problem is...in order to fully access the app you need an account number! There's no instructions/direction on where to find an account number and as far as I could tell there was no place to create an account.. I tried a few steps but then got scared that my other working shades would stop working. I'm back to square 1 but now I'm out an additional 50.00 for a echo that I can't use for it's intended purpose.. I'm glad that I can return the echo but unfortunately I cannot return the shade because it's past the return window.. If the problem doesn't get fix.. I've just been cheated out of 350.00.

I don't write many reviews but I noticed a lot of confusion around the Alexa functionality in the reviews here, so I thought I'd clarify a few points so others didn't need to spend as much time as I had spent linking to Alexa. First, the shade itself is fantastic. It definitely is black-out. Some light of course escapes from the sides but they tell you to allow for this in your measurements if you go with the outside mount like I did. The motor is not loud at all, in fact I think it's slightly quieter than some of the bigger name brands friends of mine have. It does at a couple points make what I can only describe as a slight grinding noise when raising or lowering the shade but not a huge bother. Installation is not complicated, but if you have a wide blind like mine, you will probably want a second set of hands to help hold it in place while you level it and mark your drill holes, since a level mount is critical. As for Alexa, I ordered the P440 smart motor, which supports the ZigBee protocol. What this means is that you either will need a separate ZigBee hub to connect it to your Wi-Fi, or one of the Amazon Echo models that has a ZigBee hub embedded in it. So, some of the older descriptions say the shade is only supported by three Alexa models, but there are I believe five or more now. I for example purchased the Amazon Echo 4 (not on the older descriptions as supported). Just ensure that whatever model you buy includes a ZigBee hub. Pairing the motor is then as simple as pressing the small reset button on the end of the shade four times, followed one long 3-second press, which will pulse the shade once, and then it's in pairing mode. (This is shown in the instruction manual, but it's a little confusing to decipher.) At this point, ask Alexa to "find new devices" and she'll find it after a few seconds via her built-in ZigBee Hub. One note: The commands to "Open the shade" (or whatever name you give it), or "close the shade," do not work. Rather you have to say to what length specifically, so "close the shade to 100%" will put it all the way down, and "open the shade to 0%" will open it all the way. It cannot support fractions of percentages, so if you set a custom open or close point, it won't be able to stop at that spot with the voice command unless it's on a round number percentage. For example, my custom close point is about 97.5% of the length, but I have to choose 97% or 98% with this feature. However, the capability to establish a routine is extremely helpful. Now when I wake up and ask Alexa to "start my day," this includes opening the shade. I also set it to close the shade about 20 minutes after sunset each day, which it will compute and activate automatically. Don't let the other reviews and questions confuse you. As of at least November 2020, the Yoolax shades with the P440 smart motor DO support Alexa models that have a built-in Zigbee hub, with easy setup. All in all, very happy with this purchase.

I love my new motorized blind! It's quiet and fit exactly as I measured. There is a definite learning curve to ordering and installing, however. In ordering, order the exact size that you want - the company does not make adjustments to the size you put in your order, it's best you make the adjustment yourself. For instance, for an outside mount, I measured the exact height and width of the window opening. Then I added 6" to the height and 6" to the width to get the measurement for my order (the extra 3" per side is what Yoolax recommended for an outside mount. The company will message you and ask you to verify the measurement as an added precaution. The measurement you put in the order is the exact measurement your blind will be, so if you have doubts, you can message Yoolax through Amazon. I found them to be responsive and answered all my questions within 24 hours. Also, if you purchased samples for your blinds, Yoolax will refund you the price of your samples upon ordering which is nice. I received the item within a few weeks of ordering - was quicker than I expected, so that was great. The installation of the blind was very simple. The directions were easy to follow. I installed the blind (84" width) by myself. The remote control worked from the beginning and is easy to use. The color/fabric I chose works perfectly with my room, so I am very happy. So my biggest issue was integrating with Alexa. There was a big learning curve in getting the blind to work with Alexa without purchasing an additional hub (the whole reason I ordered this blind). I had to order a specific Alexa Echo Spot - I thought I could use any recent version of Alexa Echo, but no, you must use the 4th generation (it costs about $100). It took two tries to get the right Alexa equipment, but then Alexa did not recognize the blind controls. This led me to contact Yoolax again. They had me reset the blinds, and once I did that, I was able to use Alexa with the blinds. So this was not a quick setup - it took a couple of weeks to really fine tune Alexa to work with my blind. Now that I have everything set up correctly, I think this was a good buy and I would purchase blinds from Yoolax again. The price point is so much better than the Lutron Serena Shades at 3 times the price (which I also have). Lutron Shades are hard-wired or run with batteries whereas Yoolax Shades are charged. You charge it once and you get about 100+ uses before you need to charge it again. I just hope it lasts!

These are really nice blinds and work well, but our motor died after just 3 years. We were able to contact the seller and get a replacement motor for $80, which is fine, but I was surprised we had to pay for a new motor after just 3 years. I'm worried about the longevity of the motor. I hope I don't have to buy a new motor every few years.

I love this product … after finally completing the installation. It is high quality and attractive. The shade's performance (both light blocking and remote-controlled raising/lowering) exceeds my expectations. The problem is with inadequate information; Starting from the ordering process to final installation. I still gave it five stars based on post learning curve - the shade is that impressive. The shade seems to be targeted to experienced installers. It would not be particularly hard to order/install if adequate information was provided. Starting with ordering. The web site is a bit unclear whether the manufacturer will automatically add the suggested three inches to length and width for extra light blocking or the customer should add that to their base dimensions. The manufacturer will not add any length/width to the customer provided dimensions. They will deliver exactly what the customer specifies to the 1/8 of an inch. The important dimension is the width. This is because the travel limit of the shade is programmable. If the shade is a bit too long - no problem. Simply program the limits of travel. Note: This extremely important fact (programmable travel limits) is totally left out of manufacturer provided information (sales, installation, owner/user). Amazing. Note there is a QR code on the information envelope that will get you to a Yoolax site that provides programming info. However, this is not obvious and is somewhat hard to find. Yoolax uses a Dooya motor/controller. This is a very good/flexible device. However, Yoolax takes the customers dimensions, cuts the width, then programs the length to achieve the customer requested dimension. They likely make standard lengths they cut to costumer specific width. When you get the shade, the length is programmed to the customer provided length dimension. This is crazy. It requires the shade be mounted with great precision and rotated into the bracket to within a couple of degrees to get it to lower to the customer specified length. After understanding the travel limits can be very easily be programmed; it becomes apparent the shade can be vertically mounted with very loose tolerances (order a few extra inches in length to have plenty of material). To see how to program a Dooya motor/controller look for programming instructions on YouTube. Amazon will not let me put a URL into a review.
