Z-Wave + integrated blinds/shades: Custom Graber Virtual Cord Shades

Hope that answered your questions and didn’t seem confusing.

Yes that clarifies it! Thanks!

Here is the how-to video to exclude the shades from SmartThings. Original post updated as well:

Noticed that min width for Roman Shades at least, is set to 24". Is that a limitation of the motor? I need 22" which I’ve found in Bali.

The artisan Roman Shades are limited to a minimum width of 24". With the z-wave motor or a regular RTS motor with a ZRTSII, Graber only offers a minimum width of 24" on the Roman shades. The main difference between the brands is Graber is the more premium quality product, and Bali is the mass market product. Both are owned and operated by the same company.

Edit: I can check if an out of spec request can be made if you are interested.

I’m very interested!

Can you message me the exact size you need? I need both width and height to make a request. Also the fabric and roman type. (You can get the info by clicking on customize & buy on the product page)

Looks like I am unable to message you since I am new. Can you start off the direct message?

Wish i could buy retrofit kits for our existing shades… Have a lot invested in Smith & Noble Roman shades and blinds to throw them away

I am actually checking if this can be done… so far I haven’t made any progress. Will keep this thread updated if its possible.

Manufacturing time has been extended for all new orders from 3 - 7 working days to 5 - 11 working days. A lot more demand than expected.

Thanks for the update.i am in no hurry… But at the same time very inquisitive about it :slight_smile:

Your’s is expected to ship on the 22nd :grinning:, if you have questions fire away.

Great! Cannot wait to test it. If this test works out good, I may order another one - full window size - to install as a real test blind in my colleagues home.

Just a reminder, tomorrow is the last day with 10% off on these. If anyone needs the coupon, please check the coupon post linked in the first post!

Also any video requests? Anything you want to see specifically? I also have a roller shade coming in next week so if you have video requests ask away.

Not sure if this question was asked earlier - Is there a solar charger option for the batteries available?

Not for the z-wave motors. It’s available for the regular Somfy RTS motors with a ZRTSII for now.

Do you know if this is something that may be available in future?

For now not too sure. But I wouldn’t expect any changes to the current offering for at least a year.
