This is a really cool product! I may have to make use of your affiliate links now 😄

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Please do!

[@AndrewDanne]

Congrats on getting recognised for a Vendor review. Nice!

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Hey, thanks!

[@clairerovic]

Looks cool, unfortunately I would need two 😢. Just to much of a luxury.

[@HiveMindAutomation]

I'm acutely aware that in this economy it's a bit hard to justify $300 a window.
There'a a 10% discount code in the Description if that helps! :)

[@bladeshatepigs]

Does it definitely work the same on grommet curtains without the beads?

[@HiveMindAutomation]

I haven't removed the beads, but I see no value in them in my setup to be honest

[@bladeshatepigs]

@@HiveMindAutomation thank you

[@josebenedico7379]

Do I need a hub or another item to connect it to as Amazon Alexa echo?

[@HiveMindAutomation]

Yes, it needs the Switchbot Hub to enable the Amazon Alexa integrations

[@HiveMindAutomation]

I have a video about the switchbot hub in planning stages now.
