Rechargeable Wireless Tubular Roller Shade Motor Kit with Remote Control for Motorized Electric Roller Blind Shades Compatible 1.5" Shade Tube

I was a bit apprehensive buying this given the varying degrees of difficulty people had reported. My experience was surprisingly simple. I was ready for cutting, grinding, and fabricated yet didn’t need to do any of that — the motor fit perfectly inside my tube, and the extra bracket assembly kit had an end plate fit perfectly on my existing brackets. I was able to take down my roller blind, insert the motor pulse end plate, and had it reinstalled in ten minutes. Here’s what I did1. Carefully measured my tube. It was 38mm2. Confirmed with seller the right motor to buy given my tube diameter and the metal tabs on the tube3. Bought the motor kit AND the mounting accessory kit. The accessory kit was mandatory for me to have the right end cap that would work with my existing brackets.4. Charged the motor battery5. Removed metal valence and popped out my roller blind. One end of my blind is a push pin and the other was the chain drive6. I pulled the chain drive out of the tube. Took a little force but it popped out7. I inserted the motor into the tube, rotating the motor so the rubber piece on the end aligned with my tabs on the tube. The motor slid in8. I made sure the charge port was facing down for easy access9. I found the end cap in the accessory kit. The black end cap whichworked with my existing brackets.10. I screwed the end cap in with the two screws. Many said the screws were too long. I didn’t find that to be the case11. I put the roller blind back into the brackets. The push pin allowed me to get the blind into the space while i worked on getting the end cap hooked onto my bracket.12, I tucked the antenna wire around back of the blind so it didn’t get clipped by the valence.13. Made sure the power port and remot program were facing down where I could access them14. I pressed the program button on the motor. It jogged twice. and then the c button on the remote. Roller and remote were now paired. And I could raise and lower15. I realized the motor direction was going the wrong way with remote. Pressing up caused roller to go down. Followed the instruction to reverse the motor direction. I held the limit button and stop button which reversed direction. Now remote worked correctly16. Programmed upper and lower limits per the directions17. Everything working flawlesslyMy test case worked and I ordered six more. Will update when done with the project. But so far…a big success and huge improvement to having the chain drive for so many rollersEdit:I ordered six additional motors and installed each. I did not run into any problems. Followed the sequence from above and all seven motors are programmed and workingI also purchased the 15 channel remote and linked each motor to the single remote. I can now control all seven from one remote with each window being on its own channelNext I purchased a BroadLink rm4 pro to connect the motors to an iPhone. I configured the BroadLink and added each shade to my hub. Bin each case, I went through the process of having the BroadLink learn the remote codes. And ultimately programmed open, close, and stop buttons. Now I can control each motor with my iPhone through BroadLink. I subsequently linked groups of shades to a BroadLink scene allowing me to control multiple windows at once. Even cooler was BroadLink allowing me to pair with Siri. Now I can say open living room shades and a block of four shades opens. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Have another five kitchen windows that I would like to automate in my next round. And my project will be complete.

Very easy to install and work exactly as they should. Much cheaper than the local blind shop wants to charge to convert my existing shades to motorized...$100 vs $1000 because they insist they can only build new ones. Make sure you're ordering the correct size....they are usually referenced by the OUTER diameter of the tube, not the ID. I did have to change the rubber inserts to match my tube, but it was very simple and all the parts were included. I had to modify my bracket a little to fit into the slot in the motor (filed down from 1.5 cm wide to 1 cm wide...next time I'll order new brackets at the same time. Instructions for pairing the remote and setting the limits are usable, but obviously not written by a native English speaker. If i didn't have to modify the bracket/hangar, I probably could have installed them in about 15 minutes each by myself. I will be buying more once I figure out a suitable solution for a gateway to my smart home controller.

The device works but is very noisy. Since noise indicates wasted energy I suspect this will lead to problems eventually. I purchased these hoping the most expensive on Amazon would be of higher quality. I purchased a tuya blinds motor on Ebay 8/2022. It was a little cheaper than this and a little quieter however the batteries failed in 2024. I should have spent the additional money to purchase rollease blind motors from ebay. I purchased one from a local blinds company. It is very quiet and is still working two years after purchase. I was penny wise but pound foolish.

Used this with 1.25" schedule 40 pvc pipe to wind up the strings on four 70" roman shades. Works great.Had to buy the brackets and end pieces seperatly, but it all went together fast. I had a good plan that I had been working on so I was more than ready for the DIY part of the project.Black rubber drive wheel had to be filed down to fit in the 1.25" pipe. So did the spring loaded end bracket with the cross looking end button. Again, no big problem there either.Used a piece of poplar wood to hang each of the shades, brackets, and tube/motors on.Then I used SHORT screws to secure the strings to the pipe so the screw tips didn't damage the LION batteries inside the red tube. I also measured and put two screws through the pipe into the black rubber drive wheel to prevent slipping. This is all so the strings roll up onto the tube which is raises the roman shades.I'm using it with the 5 channel remote. Easy to program and set the high/low limit/stop functions. Motor direction is reversable using the remote to program. Very versatile.Easy for a handy person with a plan.Works like a champ! My Wife is stoked that I was able to complete it so fast and that it works so well. Great alternative to buying four new 70" shades at $700+ each!

After a couple of not very helpful, but prompt, answers from vendor about retrofitting Norman cordless roller shades with 43mm ID tubes I ordered as a test the 38 mm version knowing that I would have to make adjustments. I ended up having to 3D print and replace the "rubber fittings" on both ends of the motor/wand. I also had to 3D print the end brackets because the ones I had for the Norman shades did not fit well. It was a fun project in which I spent more time than I expected but the end result is good. If all goes well for a couple of weeks I will retrofit the other 15 windows that my wife wants to motorize at a much lower cost that other options.
