ISS in our living-room

My wife and I are both, still after 2 weeks, extremely happy with the two installed motors and the ease of use of the controlling app. Automating sunrise and sunset shades positions was a breeze... feels like we have our own International Space Station! Getting the packages through Canadian customs did add 30% to the initial cost, but the end product we now have makes us wonder how we ever got along without. Great job!

Outstanding customer support, very good device

Amazing device and outstanding customer support. At the first the device couldn't lift my shades, I send email and they answered me in 30 minutes! Christine from customer support ask me some questions and send me another device with stronger moter! I totally recommend Soma for your shades!

Missing speed control over zigbee

Everything is perfect! I just wish I could control the speed of the curtain via websocket/zigbee

Works great for hard to reach high window blind

Installation worked as per instructions. Had an issue after a few days where it quit functioning. Had to perform setup from scratch again but has worked fine ever since. Motor a bit loud but we were aware of that before purchase as per previous reviews. We will now be purchasing another one now that we know the first one we bought functions well.
