Sunsa Wand – Simple Retrofit Smart Blind Solution to Automate and Motorize Your Existing Blinds, Compatible with Alexa & Google

I love it! It's the height if laziness with just the right amount of modern technology for a fraction of the price. Works with Alexa , so I have a routine set for them to open and close. Would definitely recommend! ⭐

Very easy to set up with clear instructions via app. Added security to the home with verticle blinds that close at sunset and open at sunrise.

Setting the wand up was very easy, it’s works as it should, and they are better than anything else that’s available at the moment, The Alexa skill works a treat

As mentioned for some reason in the UK Alexa is not compatible with the wand. Also it has a light sensor and a temperature sensor which apart from seeing the temperature of the wand do not do what is advertised which is to close with heat and light. These points should be taken off the advertisement for these wands until they actually do what they say they do!

Got 4 of these shipped over from the USA when they were still crowdfunding. Easy to install, easy to calibrate and super easy to set up with Google home for voice control. We did have a problem with 1 unit failing to update and becoming non responsive. A cpl of emails to the CEO and it was working again the next day.

The sunsa wand is easy to install, true, and you can work it from your phone, also true. But in the UK it DOES NOT work with Alexa, which is what I wanted it for. Luckily I only bought one to try, not the 3 I needed. You can set up a schedule on your phone. So I'm keeping it on my kitchen blinds as I'm disabled and cannot reach them myself. But I will not be getting for other rooms. So disappointed. Sunsa if you read these reviews please look into sorting this out please. Thanks

I would really interested in this item due to having blinds throughout my home. However the price is really off putting. Especially if your require 5 in total. That's total of about £850.

When it works it works, however it would often take over a minute to react or in some cases lose connectivity entirely and need to be restarted. It's also a lot more expensive than other alternatives that are more reliable and can be controlled locally.

Update 01/08/25 I want to thank Amazon for the ability to continue to update product reviews, as products are used. I open and close my blinds 8-12 times in total daily. These wands are my undisputedly my smartest purchases, by far. I love sunshine and daylight. I hate having to move, climb or stretch over furniture to open the blinds, which is seriously dangerous at my. The reason for my updated review is that I have recently learned I could have used my blinds by bluetooth from my smart phone during my weeks without internet. Shame on me for not trying that. I know better for next time and hopefully there won't be a next time. Update 10/15/24 I am 70 yrs old and I have never been so impressed with a product and/or customer service. I lost power during hurricanes Helene and Milton. I had to move the wands from their holders so I could manually open the blinds. However, once power and internet came back online they connected right back up to Amazon Alexa and after I put the wands back in their holders, all I had to do was recalibrate them. Love, love, love this product. And while I didn't have to reach out for support, I have experience from previous interactions, I know I am in great hands. You can't say that about many products and services. OUTSTANDING!! Update. 10/26/23 This company has superior customer support by far. My issue has been well resolved. I look forward to easy operations. Update 10/26/2023 In the interest of time, I purchased another wand directly from their website. While considerably cheaper that way, they charge you shipping and you have to wait a while. I advised them of my issue in their comments section during payment because I can't seem to reach out to them again through Amazon, however, I have only had snippets of time to spend on this when I think of it. I updated my review to 3 starts because, as of this writing, the second blind seems to work find. The app must have been updated because now the scheduled openings/closing work, except they don't seem to agree with Alexa on when sunrise/sunset are so I get surprised each time. LOL. I will update if/when there is more to report. Update 10/24/2023 Seller was responsive with the overheating issue I experienced however, I now have the same issue with the replacements they sent. There is a small metal piece that seems to break off and overheats the batteries. The way you know this is because when the stop operating and you touch the wand to reset, you pretty decently burn your fingers. Reaching out to them today. Update: Sept 9, 2023 Manufacture’s customer service this year was awesome. They responded right away and although they did not send the promised updated wand turner I was able to purchase a new piece for each blind and at least they work now. I haven’t tried scheduling from the app because due to excessive heat I have kept the blinds closed to cut down an HVAC costs. They are more expensive now so it still prohibits me from purchasing for all of my blinds however I don’t have to crawl over furniture to open the others (yet). I will continue to update. Update: Jan 12, 2023: Blinds closing on schedule does not work. Open schedule works fine. I am contacting seller again. My devices did not come with instructions. I had to reference Youtube. Once I had them installed, they work OK but I need to better calibrate I set a schedule for them to open at sunrise and close at sunset. Today is day one and they opened perfectly. I had to contact the seller for instructions for connecting to my Alexa so I can open/close with voice command. Seller responded almost immediately and the directions work perfectly. Kudos for that! I angle my closed blinds, depending on the season. Voice command seems to close the way I would use during summer but no worries. I can do what I need on my phone. I haven't figured out how to only open the blinds part way and I am not certain that can be achieved. (this can be done on the app) I am overall pleased with this product. My friends laughed at me for this luxury but I gave to myself for Christmas. If they were $50 cheaper per blind, I would purchase for all of my blinds.

I was looking for a streamline effective solution to automate my blinds. I have purchased a few SwitchBots for my blinds and while they work great, they are cumbersome and frankly they do not look good. While Sunsa may cost a bit more, they look great, they simply replace your current wand. Easy set up and easy to change out batteries. They work great with minimal noise and you can still open or close your blinds with the double tap feature. You can schedule time, dates etc when to open or close. Alexa control and calibration is straight forward and again simple. Had them for a few days and they are working great. One other thing to consider is the customer centric after the sale service. The Founder and CEO reached out to me asking if all went well on the install. WoW! In this age of poor service to get that level of support is awesome. I will be buying more to automate all my blinds. Well worth the money.

Very easy to install And very easy to program Works fantastic I have 5 in total

I bought 3 wands from Amazon to test them out. They worked so well that I ordered 6 more from the Sunsa site and have installed on all windows except for our bathroom window and patio door. Easy to install (very easy after the first one). Calibration of each unit is easy. The app works perfectly and is easy to set up. I have 2 groups set up (one for most of the house, and another for just the master bedroom). I also have used their scheduling feature to open and close at sunrise and 10 minutes before sunset (really nice and easy to set up and use). Their customer service is also amazing - they reached out to me after my direct order from Sunsa, and I asked them 2 questions (how to install the app on my wife's phone, and also how to install on Alexa) - I received the fully responsive answers to my questions within one day (or less if I recall). They look better than our manual wands and can even be used if our internet goes down (just touch the unit twice and they will either open or close). Well thought out and designed. As you may surmise, I highly recommend these wands - definitely worth the investment!
