Blind Tilt Matter Combo

Automated blind tilting is wonderful!

I thought that since I had blinds with a rope pulley system for tilting I couldn’t get them automated. When I learned I could swap out the rope pulley system for a rod twist blind tilt mechanism I did so and got the SwitchBot Blind Tilt Matter Combo and installed that on top of the rods. Now my bedroom blinds open and close with the daily sunrise and sunset times via the SwitchBot Hub 2! So thankful to have the blind tilt automation I always wanted!

Blind Tilt with Alexa

The instructions for the blind tilts were good and the install was pretty easy. The Matter install was a little less intuitive but once it connected it worked well. Setting up a scene and connecting to Alexa was also easy. Now my blinds open in the morning and close at dusk with no issues

Pairs and works flawlessly with a little noise.

Installed 8, all paired immediately, and integrated with Google home perfectly. Only complaint would be that they are loud. Not unbearably so by any means, but enough that you want to stop what you're saying until it's complete. It's only been a short while since I installed them, but the solar panels must be providing enough juice, none of them need recharging even though they are operated nearly every day. This is a solid upgrade to my connected home, a clever design that's easy to install.
