Set up was glitchy, which made it take a while to do. Charging of device wasn’t clear. I had no way of knowing they were charging or when they were fully charged. And worst of all, it doesn’t even connect to any of my google home devices. What’s the point of “smart technology” if it doesn’t pair with your smart technology you need to use to control it. I can still schedule when it should open or close, but that’s a nuisance to have to do often when I should just be able to program it using my google neat hub!

I’m overall happy with my little switchbots (U-rail 2). I think the reality is that they’ll have to be calibrated often……. When visitors open the curtains manually, they seem to get out of whack. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but I know that they’re a compromise to a motorized rail solution. However, the price was right, and with the hub I can control them with Google Home voice commands, and/or routines. That’s worth a lot to me.

Works most of the time with ikea U track. Sometimes gets hung up where two sections of track join together. Overall I’m happy with it and it does what I want it to.
