In the case of a beaded chain, find out how many beads/balls there are per inch (2.5 cm). Below measurements are approximate, choose the one that suits the best. When in doubt, contact our support, we are happy to assist.

    Soma Smart Shades - great product!

    This is a great way to automate your curtains. Easy to install and setup, quick to get going and works perfectly. I have it on a corded curtain track and it works fine. I've now ordered 3 more.

    Relatively straightforward to setup although I couldn't get Google home to work with it. It's also very loud so not great for opening blinds in the morning.

    Not worth the price

    3 times the price of an aqara unit, yes very good motor and lifts any blind and very quiet, but comes with only double side tape that was too weak and fell off, had to replace. Worse thing about it with its price point, they have no wifi connection, you have to pay another $100 for a bridge, that is a joke.
