I was a backer of this indigogo campaign a couple of years ago and purchased 10 sets of motor kit and solar add on. I received them this week and have installed 7 of them. They only tilt the slats, they do not raise or lower them.
From my experience I would modify their instructions. There was no need to charge for 8 hours before installation. I included the motor to HS3 and then I installed the kit while the blinds were on a bench. I found that I needed to glue the usb charger/aux button component to the inside head rail as well as the clip from underneath designed to hold the component. Finally, after reinstalling the blinds, I plugged the extra long usb charging cable into the usb charger and left for 8 hours.
Iโm pleased with the overall install and functionality. So much so that I ordered four more kits during their grand opening sale.
Their website is myiblinds.com and I have no financial or other interest in them.
The red red arrows point to the clip and the usb charger/aux button component. The button allows for inclusion/exclusion and also auto calibration of the blinds. Nice since you donโt have to remove the blinds.
