  • Solid hardware, flaky software

    The hardware is easy to install and of great quality. Alas the weakness of Ryse is its software. Oftentimes one or two of my three SmartShade blinds don’t react when an Home Automation event occurs. I have to reselect the same scene several times to have all the blinds cooperate. And as I’m writing this, one of the SmartShades has just disappeared from the Ryse app, while the other ones still work fine via SmartBridge. Pretty disappointing.

  • You need a smart bridge

    The recent my blinds would not connect to Alexa or Google or Siri was because you need to purchase a $50additional device from their website. Call the Smart bridge and that’ll get you to use voice commands as well as open and close them from anywhere in the world not just be a Bluetooth but through the Internet, you can be across the world and open and closer blinds yourself.

    Very happy very satisfied this more system technically would cost you a lot more money if you bought it from anywhere else or people that install blinds with sell it for quadruple the price so you get a good deal

  • Still very buggy

    Almost no improvements in two years! App is still not refreshing the shade status automatically upon opening the app (seriously..??), and it keeps forgetting random shade units (I have six, connected via their bridge) on a regular basis, so I have to re-add the affected ones and restore the automation again and again. I can see driver details, but no way to tell if they're the latest or enforce checking for updates. My window shade automation works about 90% of the time, why is it so hard to get it to be stable and reliable??

  • Completely broken

    I have 4 3rd gen smart shades that ever since the new app update a couple months back half the time I have at lease 1 shade not open or object detect and stop with no object. Even when object detection is disabled. Right now I’m setting in my room clicking open all for the past 10 minutes only for every shade to still be closed as it’s completely unresponsive.

  • Update broke the app

    I have 6 axis gears, and some the last update the app just crashes every time I try to access them
  • New version needs a tuneup

    I own many Axis Gear units.
    With the updated app, anytime a blind is down either partially or fully, when I use the app to raise the blind, the app always indicates that the blind is fully open. The app does not remember or know the actual setting of the blinds. Can this be fixed please? Thanks
  • Awesome

    Very easy to use and setup was a breeze.
  • Loading screen times out and gets stuck.

    Stuck on loading screen. Where is your timeout error ?
  • App is now slow

    This app was decent for a new product, I can appreciate the complexity of connecting hardware to software.
    For some reason, the app is now very slow to start. The app will open, but all the actions and status will tale 4-5-6 seconds to load.
    It’s very long to simply open and close blinds….
    Please fix it, and I will update my review

  • App crashes when trying to pair Bluetooth

    Blinds had issues, did a factory reset and tried to pair again - app crashes whenever I try to pair. Not fantastic
