ZigBee Smart DIY Motor for Chain Roller Blinds (AM43)

MOES · AM43 ZigBee Chain Roller Blind Motor

The MOES ZigBee Chain Motorized Blinds Motor AM43 turns traditional chain roller blinds into a fully automated system without replacing the entire blind. It uses ZigBee connectivity and requires a Tuya ZigBee compatible hub for standard operation, though it can also be integrated locally into Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA. It supports remote control from the app, scheduling, advanced automations, opening percentage adjustment, upper and lower limit settings, and voice control with Alexa or Google Home. Its rechargeable battery makes installation easy without complex wiring, making it a very popular option for automating blinds in a simple and affordable way.
