I'm wondering what the best device is for powerering existing manual vertical and horizontal blinds using zwave.

Thanks

I don't know if it's the "best". I use iBlinds for our horizontal blinds and they work well for me.

I have zigbee shades that include a tubular battery inside the roller.  They only need charging about every 6 months so far.

Can you provide a link to the ones you are using? A search for 'zigbee shades' turns up a zillion (well, almost a zillion) responses.

I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096XH56FX/  they did ship from china, but arrived in about 15 days from date of order.  the motor they use is a made by https://www.a-okmotor.com/  and includes the batteries in the motor unit.

We may order more in the future, there's a couple places we could use them, so far they are just in the masterbath and bedroom.
