Just wondering if those in the UK know of any affordable motorised vertical blinds that will work with SmartThings. Preferably battery powered if possible.
By vertical blinds, I mean these things.
Regards: Elliott.
It is possible to do it in Wi-Fi or ZigBee, using two motors, one for the rope that pulls the curtain vertically and another to pull the chain to turn the blind, right side and left side. The Wi-Fi I have, I don’t remember the brand compatible with ST anymore, but the ZigBee, you can use the MOES one, for it to appear in ST it has to be via Hub Matter MOES M1 or Matter ZM M6, both export to ST. The programming will have to be in two steps, the 1st to turn the curtain and the 2nd to pull (opening or closing) the curtain.

Thanks, just bought a pair of these that I plan to use with the zemismart SmartThings Zigbee edge driver. I hope it works ok.
Will post an update at a later time when it arrives and I have installed it.

Got it all working. I am using 2 x Moes AM43 2MQTT ZigBee blind motors (one for tilt, one to extend/retract), paired together with the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem and Alexa to control the blinds.
I’m also using the Zemismart SmartThings edge driver, available here: https://bestow-regional.api.smartthings.com/invite/qWjB0pNyY62y
