Rollerhouse Roller Shade Motor Motorized Systems for Interior Shades Motors Radio, Wireless, Quiet, Compatible with 1 inch Shade Tube

TL;DR: I don't regret the purchase. It works like a charm. You'll just have to struggle with the creatively-worded instructions. I wanted to motorize two Smith and Noble roller shades (each about five feet wide and four feet tall), but I only bought one Rollerhouse (AKA Rollerhouses) motor assembly to try out. It works beautifully, and I just ordered a second one. It took me over an hour to figure out the charming pidgin-English instructions and to manhandle my existing shade to remove both ends of the tube (without completely ruining the shade material). I suspect the second one will only take me about 20 minutes to install. To determine the correct size before ordering, I removed the chain end from one roller shade tube. I measured the tube diameter, but I also noticed that Smith and Noble prints the size on the end piece. Mine said "25mm," so that's what I ordered. When I first tried to put the motor tube inside my shade tube, it wouldn't fit, and I thought I'd ordered the wrong size. But it turned out that the company had pre-fitted it with adapters for a larger tube. They provide the correct "crown and drive adapters" needed, and it only took me another 15 minutes to figure out how to get the larger ones off! The instructions for setting up the remote are clear, but the diagram does not quite match the remote they sent. In order to both pair the remote with the motor and set bottom and upper limits, you'll need to remove the remote's battery cover and access two small buttons found inside, marked C (for confirm) and L (for limit). One review suggested a battery was not included, but mine had a new CR2450 in the box. What is NOT included are the four screws that will attach the brackets. So don't throw your existing ones away! The recharging cord looks very short in some of the promotional illustrations, but it's actually about five feet long. In any case, it's very easy to just remove the shade if you need to move it near a power outlet when it needs recharging. The instructions say that it takes 5-6 hours to charge. It seems to have been mostly charged before going into the box, so you won't need to wait half a day before installing it. The limit settings work well, so, after pressing the up or down arrows on the remote once, it will stop exactly where you want it to. It's perfectly fast enough for me. And it's pretty quiet. Cat Owners Alert: The motor end-piece has a four-inch-long wire antenna that protrudes horizontally and is semi-visible when the shade is open. That means cats will spot it immediately and try to play with it (just prior to destroying it and making your Rollerhouse--AKA Rollerhouses--useless). My temporary solution was to use some painter's tape to attach the wire to the wall. So far, the cats are none the wiser. But we'll see. They're pretty clever.

I eventually got this motor working, and it now opens and closes my roller shade on schedule through the Tuya app. The motor itself works well and is reasonably quiet. However, the setup process was much more difficult than the product description suggests. The documentation is very limited, and several important programming steps are either unclear or not explained at all. Pairing the RF remote, programming the motor, connecting the Tuya IR/RF hub, and getting everything to work together took many hours of trial and error. I am comfortable with technology, but I still found the installation frustrating. Without outside help, I probably would not have completed the setup. If Rollerhouse provided a detailed step-by-step manual or clear video tutorials, this product would deserve a much higher rating. Once everything is configured, it works reliably. Just be prepared for a challenging installation if this is your first Rollerhouse or Tuya device. If you enjoy troubleshooting, you’ll eventually get it working. If you’re expecting a quick plug-and-play installation, you may be disappointed.

I measured as correctly as possible and ordered the screw on motor for rollease skyline blinds. The adapter in the tube wouldn’t fit and the piece didn’t fit properly to screw on the 25mm motor. I attempted for two weeks to contact customer support via email and WhatsApp and when they did respond, didn’t complete the conversation in a manner that solved any problems so ended up returning the product. I suspect I could have made this work but the main reason for the low score is complete lack of what I consider reasonable customer support.

If want it to connect to Alexa need to get the “Broadlink RM4 pro” otherwise works with included remote as expected.

I purchased one of these with an eye toward automating the blinds in my live aboard 1968 Airstream RV. The kit comes with the motor, mounting brackets, charger and remote. One thing that I really liked was that the mounting brackets were made of metal. Because my blinds were so short, I was able to modify the brackets to reduce their profile dramatically and was able to tuck them very neatly under the existing valences. I used 3/4 inch metal electrical conduit from Home Depot as the roller tube and purchased a very inexpensive (+/- $7) vinyl blind from Walmart from which I salvaged the actual blind material. The installation of the first blind was very simple to and took about 45 minutes to install. One thing peculiar to the Airsteam was that the walls fall away from the plane of the blind when it was installed so I cut down the top my window screens about a 1/4 inch which gave the blind a 1/8 inch slot to feed into between the screen and the window and follow the inside arc of the screen while maintaining the screens function. Wow! I was blown away by how slick and seamless the blind worked and appeared when it was installed and adjusted. One quick side note: the included remote setup instructions were beyond cryptic, but a quick search on youtube made everything clear and simple. The setup instructions were the one criticism that I had with this item, but I'm giving it five stars anyway because I was so pleased with the final appearance and functionality of the product. I contacted the company and arraigned to purchase six more of these to do all the windows in the Airstream. As the additional charging cables and remotes were redundant, the seller agreed substitute two multi blind remotes and free shipping in lieu of the unneeded items. Great communication and flexibility on the seller's part, by the way. I was so happy with the Walmart blind material that I used it on all of the windows and can change them out later if I want with a minimum of effort and cost. I set my blinds up as 3 separate groups that I can operate independently or together very simply (and impressively) depending on different conditions. Six months on, I have charged the blinds once about 4 months in and using the +/- 6 ft charging cable and am using the blinds on a near daily basis. For the Airstream, at least, the Wow factor on a 53 year old trailer is through the roof and blows people away with how slick it looks and works.

I can't get the remote to pair with the roller shade motor. It also took some modifications to get it to install at all on a 1 inch tube. But the biggest problem has been the total lack of response from Technical Support. The e-mail address they give is "full" and bounces. And they have yet to respond to the WhatsApp contact that they list. If I don't hear from them tomorrow I'm returning this. If I do, I'll update this review.

An ill fitted blind resulted in the shade being too wide for the window. Returned the blind and decided to go with a different, non compatible blind type. Return accepted within a couple of hours of the drop off, company emailed me a couple hours later asking how they might resolve any issues. I have several of these along with 12v solar chargers, they work flawlessly. One window with alot of shade, I've had to charge the Rollerhouse 1x in the last year. Very simple plug in play product!!

This is not smart. You will need to buy a wifi RF hub to add it to your home automation.

Es un diez redondo! Me contactaron antes de hacer el envío para asegurarse de que sería compatible. Llegó rápido. Se monta en dos minutos y programar el mando super simple. Muy satisfecha con esta compra!

Utilisation en store elec J ai 6 moteurs qui fonctionnent trés bien montage et reglage facile voir tuto sur internet tres bien fait le delai un peu long mais avec un dia 16mm tres rare on attend Le fabricant est reactif par écrit suite a une reclamation concernant la prise alim charge prise usa et connecteur tete moteur en usb et cable en jack je recommande de bien préciser a la cde vos besoins J'espere que roller house enverra bien le bon connecteur en mode france sinon impossible de charger le moteur

These are very sturdy, clearly well-made pieces of kit. I swapped out the piece that slides into the blind to match the size of my blinds (a simple process using supplied parts), charged them up, slid them in, and then set up the remote and they worked perfectly first time. Great product, would buy again. Customer support are also helpful if you do have any problems. I bought two motors and one of them turned out to have a dud battery, so the seller sent out a replacement for me, no quibbles, no probem.

despite the item did not work properly., programmed it several times, but get different position of blind every time i open or use, seller accepted return on my own cost to shop item back, supplier excuse was item is dangerous item to issue pre-paid postage, but not dangerous if Pay for shipping.. no common sense whatsoever.

Pictured having a barrel-type power adapter, it actually has a micro USB power adapter. The solar charger from the same posting came with 3.5 x 1.35 mm plug, so you cannot plug the solar charger directly into the motor, even though they are posted in the same posting here under the same brand. No adapter provided in either packaging either!
