Smartwings Shade with Matter Thread Install Review

[TheA2Z]

I just installed a shade from Smartwings with Matter Thread.  Work With Matter Over Thread – SmartWings (smartwingshome.com).  I wish I could of hooked to Eisy but Matter Thread isnt available yet.

I have a Smartthings Station hub that I used for Matter Thread.  Smart Home Hub - SmartThings Station | SmartThings. Adding the device was a breeze. 

1. From the Smartthings app on my phone, selected add a device.
2. Then I selected Smartwings.
3. I then push and held button on shade for 6 seconds until it jogged twice.
4. Then I scanned QR code on shade into app.
5. It connected right away.

Hub is about 60 feet away in closet.  Shade is on garage window.  I then created a routine to open 15 minutes after sunrise and close 15 minutes prior to sunset.  Works like a champ.

Ultimately, I will like to have Eisy control the shade with my other Zwave Smartwing shades, but this is my interim solution until Eisy Matter Thread is enabled.

@TheA2Z,

Thank you so very much for the details. All our efforts are in Matter support. The issue is that, although we can do Matter, Thread has been a nightmare. We might have to use a border router in the interim (such as SmartThings) but will know more very soon.

With kind regards,
Michel
