Yoolax Home

We bought some of their new sheer vertical blinds in late 2025. Overall pretty good and the price was much better than the big name competitors although still not what I would say cheap. There’s a big problem though with this product: you cannot control the degree of openness. You can control the angle of the vanes, but there is no setting for how open the curtains are. To illustrate, here is an example of how you would program an automation: 1. Set vanes to 90 degrees. 2. Open curtain 3. Wait 3 seconds. 4. Stop curtains. If the curtains were closed, this would get you approximated half opened curtains. If the curtains were already open, it would do nothing. You’d half to make a second automation that would close the curtains and wait 3 seconds. Yoolax: please allow us to control the position of the curtains along the track!

I typically don’t write a review, but couldn’t help on this one. This app is nowhere ready for customer use. The blinds look great and I wish it also worked as seamlessly. I got a matter motor and they recommended me to buy a gateway box. I couldn’t connect the blinds through the gateway. Blinds connected directly with Alexa. Works when it does. However they are frequently disconnected from Alexa. This app is a joke. Barely any features work. If connected through Alexa, blinds can no longer be controlled through the app. When only connected through the app, blinds frequently go offline to the point I cannot control the blinds through app or Alexa. Remote is the only option. Not sure if there is any point having the automation features in this app if any of them barely work. Yoolax- please fix your app. I paid quite a bit to install my entire house with your blinds just to find out I can barely control automatically. The blinds look great though.

I was loving this app. Had no trouble setting it up, even got it working with Alexa thanks to another reviewer's tip about how to do that (have to add the shade as a sub device to the BLE Gateway Pro). Then all of a sudden the Yoolax app stopped working for me and would not allow me to log in, giving me an error message that said "network is unavailable" even though my internet is working just fine. I tried deleting and reinstalling the app and after I did that it would no longer work with Alexa and the only way I could operate the blind was with the physical remote. Update: I emailed customer support and within one two days they emailed me back to tell me my problem was caused by a bug that they found and fixed. Sure enough, I was able to log back in and use everything as before. 4 stars because getting everything set up is a hassle, and because the network connection is iffy even though we have fast fiber internet, the shade is not far from the router, and we are using a wired connection for our gateway device.
