Dendo Systems

A few measurement/compatibility issues initially, but all solved with by the excellent support service sending out some new (modified) adapters for my blinds. Super easy to install with really easy-to-follow guides, worked flawlessly the first time. Smart-home/app integration is the next step forward (again in my opinion). Haven't been able to assess battery life yet.

I'd spent about a year on and off looking for the perfect battery powered roller blinds, reading review on review. Everything was either ludicrously overpriced or cheap and nasty. I just needed something reliable, easy to fit, a decent battery life and affordable. These fit the bill and I was able to automate them with an RF bridge instead of using the remote all the time. It baffled me that there no major electronics company could produce something like these, I'm really happy that a smaller business could fill that gap.I've had these installed now for nearly 6 months and I couldn't provide a review until I tested the battery life. I have some large blackout blinds and I wanted to see how they go with the battery. Still haven't had to charge them since installation, using them between 1-2 cycles per day from fully open to fully closed.I started by asking a couple questions on the website chat late at night, thinking I might just be speaking to a bot, about its compatibility with Home Assistant, I spoke to a real person. They answered any little question I had about them, were really friendly, I couldn't believe it.I placed an order for 7 blinds plus a remote after watching their straightforward video / drawings on what adapters to buy for my blinds. The website was easy to navigate and delivery was fairly quick. I could have purchased them from 'oz smart things' for a little more and they include every adapter, but their website and adapter selection is soo easy, I would feel bad just throwing away the other adapters.Installation was so simple after watching their couple minute videos, I had thought that it would take an hour or so per blind, really it was 5 minutes and I was able to do them all by myself. Though I did have newish blinds.Setup is pretty easy to, set the channel, bottom limit, top limit and you're done.There's a maximum of 6 channels so we have doubled up two blinds in the kitchen.The remote is great, looks sleek, small and is self explanatory. There are settings for closed, 25% open, 50% open, 75% open, open. Though I use a Broadlink RM4 Pro (~$55) to integrate these with Home Assistant and mostly control them through that.Charging is easy with the long magnetic cable, haven't tried the solar charger as they've lasted long enough already.Really scratching my head to think of negatives, if there were more channels available for control that would be good, only because I'm pedantic and want to customize everything.I just wish I had got them sooner so that the cords that I previously had wouldn't have scratched up the walls as much.

Blinds arrived so quickly. Very Easy to set up and install. So happy with the smooth operation. Staff helped me online to select the correct brackets. I couldn't be happier with the service.

I highly recommend this product and company. I have installed the battery operated motorised blinds with solar panels about 18th the ago and they have worked flawlessly. One minor issue was covered under warranty with prompt response and quick changeover. These blinds connect seamlessly with my smart home hub and I can automate them easily. With the battery and solar panel connected - I have not needed to charge once in 18 months. This cost effective product has delivered brilliantly - no question. Thanks Dendo and team.

Overall I am very very happy with the product and the result. Would recommend them to anyone.I started by purchasing 2 x motors, charger and remote. I know have 14 motors and they're all working well.The product is supported by an extremely helpful and responsive help chat function. Dendo were swift to answer questions and help step me through quirks I had. The pairing process is simple and there are step by step guides. Just remember to set the lower level first.Couple of tips: A remote only has 6 channels. Unless you pair blinds you will need a remote for every 6 motors you get. You need a remote channel even if you use BroadLink or Bond or other bridge as the pairing sets the controls.Also make sure you check the biggest and smallest blinds you have to see if they are different diameters. I didn't which is my fault but Dendo were great and sent out some extra adaptors for me.To get it to work with Google you need an RF bridge. I have both BroadLink and Bond. Bond is sooo much better even though it costs more. Bond allows for automation using their inbuilt controls and schedulers. BroadLink only works with IFTTT.Overall the level of service I received was fantastic, the motors work as advertised and the speed of the shipping was excellent. Thumbs up from me.
