Neo Smart Blinds

I have been in touch with an excellent technical expert from NeoSmart Blinds (NSB) who provided a thorough and detailed assistance in the programming of one of my shades in the living room of our house. I got the new shade as a replacement for the one whose motor broke about 3 years ago. After I received the new shade, I called NSB technical support and fortunately Khalil picked up my call. He helped me pair the new shade with the remote controller and program the new shade to operate in unison with the other 4 old shades in our living room. Many thanks to Khalil, the 5 shades now close and open all simultaneously at the scheduled times. Khalil was great at telling me detailed instructions over the phone, especially since the NSB app is not exactly very user friendly. He stayed with me the whole time on the phone and never once did he show any irritation with my many questions. He has a gentle and reassuring voice and has excellent telephone manners. Khalil has amazing listening skills and overall customer service skills. What I appreciate most about Khalil is his detailed knowledge of the hardware (the shade), as well as the software app and was able to direct me to the correct screens of the app. Khalil is a great asset to the company and a delight to work with as a technical support person!

The Neo Smart Blinds was a bonus happy discovery when I found out they work with my Alpha Motor controlled blinds. Now I no longer need to find the remote control or click several buttons to get to the right blinds. Everything can be controlled from the convenience of my phone. Also allows me to set schedules to auto open or close blinds for day and night. It syncs with Alexa and Google, even better, since I can get Alexa to do all that work with voice command :). When there was an issue with one of my blinds not connecting back to with Alexa after a recharge, I sent Neo an email and they called me back in hour, solved it in a sec. Great service, user friendly app, great functions. A game changer for a lazy person like me!

I believe the low ratings this app has received are mostly of a much older version of the app. Everything I have attempted to do with the app has been successful and largely painless (adding shades, adding rooms, pairing shades, creating schedules, and linking with Alexa). It functions very well and there have been no stability issues at all. The setting of limits and favorite positions is a little clunky, but that is the case with my shades as well, so I can’t blame the app for that. Good product.
