2.2 Converting Manual Blinds to Smart

To convert your existing manual roller blinds, first unclip the blind from its brackets and remove the chain drive mechanism. Measure the diameter of your shade tube to ensure compatibility (this motor is designed for 38mm tubes). Insert the motor into the shade tube, then attach the bracket to the end of the motor, ensuring it aligns with the slot.
