The Kurlax skylight solar powered shade…
The Kurlax skylight solar powered shade works as advertised, including a remote device, and the appearance is very good. My rating would be 5 stars, however, it is lowered to 3 stars. A few reasons for the lower rating: The wrong color shade was sent, we ordered Beige for our solar shade, the color sent was White. Installation was very complicated due to misinformation in the set of installation instructions (12 or so pages) found on the Kurlax website (no instructions are sent with the product). These instructions appear to have installation steps out of order. I tried following the stated steps in this order, multiple times. The upper rail could not seat properly into the side rails following these instructions, which resulted in an inability to install the battery and metal bar. A video on the same website correctly shows that you need to install the top of the upper rail into the side rails before installing the sliders into the upper rail. If the sliders are installed into the shade part of the upper rail before the upper rail is installed into the side rails, the upper rail cannot properly connect to the end of the side rails. Now I am searching for instructions for connecting this to Alexa. I will continue my search. Some form of communication to customers on finding various set up information would make the overall experience more pleasurable.
