Anyone using Zooksmart or Greywinds Blinds?

Featured Replies

A while ago I went with greywinds blinds and got the matter motor upgrade.  The eisy finds them without even putting them in programming mode but they look like a motion sensor with temperature, luminance and other odd fields, and only on or off even though one is open 50% now.  

My amazon echo network also found them quickly and added them automatically.  Alexa control isn't bad but it means I need to tell Alexa to open or close them and I would prefer to use the state of the house, sun angles and other cool features I can use in my eisy.  Most of the "Alexa ready" blinds on amazon use the zooksmart engine.  I also have a set with Zigbee motors and they showed up too, same issue.

Thoughts? ideas? or just wait for UDI to load the code?

@CoolToys I'm surprised this post hasn't been closed by now!  I'm about to jump into blinds and came across your post.  I'm still running the ISY/Polisy and am leaning toward Hunter Douglas only because there seems to be a nice plug-in available - that's really the dealbreaker for me.

@Ross, we looked at Hunter Douglas and they are a better quality product without a doubt.  I had hoped that since the Greywind/Yooksmart had the Matter option it would work with my eISY.  No such luck.  When listening for matter devices they immediately appear but then are blank.  I still have hope, but am stuck telling Alexa or Apple to open and close the blinds for me when the fixed schedule doesn't work.

I know nobody asked, but I highly recommend SmartWings shades.  I just added two with a Zwave interface (using ZMatter on Polisy) and couldn't be happier.
