App Control KIG 300 EU for Electric & Solar Products (2.4 GHz Wi-Fi)

I'm two months in to owning this and it hasn't failed yet, - so far so good.The device controls my Velux Solar Blinds in the loft, which are connected to a 5GHz access point network. In order to setup the system I had to put the device closer to my router as you need a 2.4GHz router.That being said, setup was very easy once I connected the device to the router rather than access points.My alternative was electric blinds which would have cost 5x the amount of this setup, so fantastic value for money all things considered.

Followed the instructions to get this control to copy the configuration from my existing remotes and it worked first time. I was able to immediately find it in Home Assistant and also Alexa picked up on their presence.In HA I did need to set up a helper group so I could control three windows and shades with a single command. I assume that Alexa or Velux's own app allows something similar.Has worked well since I got it and whilst it seems a little expensive for what it is, normally a way to use a smart phone to control the windows/blinds as the only available option it isn't too bad.

Bit fiddly setup but well worth it. So easy to use in app

Love this, just easy to setup and it works. But not with Alexa. Having to use google assistant or HomeKit. It’s amazons fault for not having a skill setup for window devices. Which is rubbish.

Don't usually write reviews. But this is so easy and simple to set up and works perfectly. Worth every penny if you have a few windows

I had a malfunction on the supplied unit which I reported to Velux but had no joy so I purchased one. Velux decided to send out a replacement after the order was placed. This company refunded without fuss in complete empathy with the situation and I cannot praise them enough. The product itself is extremely good and works very well.JC

Like all velux control products - I have then all - it's a total nightmare to install - the manuals use just pictures and are extremely confusingThe velux window products are obviously excellent - so how come they let morons write their user manuals?I'm a software developer working on extremely complex systems - I wouldn't dream of producing something as awful as their manualsUnfortunately there is no way around it - all their multi-window control units are hell to install - just make sure you have lots and lots of time and patience before you start

Why did you choose this product over others?:Downloaded the app, unpacked the kit, plugged it in, followed the simple instructions to register the windows and remotes and everything was up and running in about 10 minutes. The windows were then picked up by Home Assistant and, five minutes later, we were controlling all the windows, installed over a decade plus, through our phones. Dead easy and totally reliable. Marvellous!!

De integratie van de diverse Velux besturingen/knoppen in deze app controler is fantastisch. Het werkt en de app is goed uitgedacht. Gebruik het voor dakraam en verduistering.

Me preocupaba que al activar el uso de los dispositivos (en mi caso, las ventanas con sus persianas) a través de la app del teléfono, perdiera la posibilidad de seguir usándolas con el control remoto de antes. Pero no, solo se añade la posibilidad, y el control remoto no se pierde.Todo funciona bien y ha sido muy fácil de instalar.

Das Gateway funktioniert bei unseren Solar-Rollläden perfekt. Über die App sind diverse Programmierungen und die direkte Steuerung der Rollläden oder Fenster möglich. Das ist mal eine sinnvolle Ergänzung und App.

Personalmente non ho avuto nessun tipo di problema per configurarlo e fino ad ora non ho notato mal funzionamenti dell'app.Gira bene nel mio cellulare e fa quello che promette....apre chiude le finestre le tapparelle e gli scuri e si può decidere quando e quanto aprire in automatico o in manuale agendo nell'app.Per ora tutto perfetto e assolutamente comodo per chi ha una finestra da tetto

La passerelle Velux est vraiment au top. Acheté pour domotiser mes volets roulants Velux solaire.On peut brancher la passerelle n'importe où dans la maison et la connecter au Wifi. Une fois l'application installée sur le téléphone on couple nos télécommandes à l'appli et hop on peut contrôler fermeture, ouverture, ou pourcentage de descente/montée. Programmation possible au crépuscule/ aube ou programme horaire.Possible de piloter à distance (genre on est au boulot et on a oublié d'ouvrir les volets en partant le matin).Dans les paramètres on peut aussi voir le niveau de charge de la batterie de nos volets. Et un mode ultra silencieux est disponible pour le volet et celui ci descend ou monte plus doucement pour faire encore moins de bruit 😉Le gros plus !!! Compatible avec mes Google home donc pilotage à la voix ^^Ok google ferme volets chambreOk goole ferme les volets de toute les chambres.Vraiment au top et très simple d'utilisationJe recommande fortement cette passerelle
