Kirsch, LLC

About this app

Control your home's window coverings from the convenience of your Android phone or tablet. The Automation app provides intelligent operation of popular Kirsch window coverings. Adjust your window coverings to manage incoming light and energy usage throughout your home with the tap of a button or through automated operation. The Automation app merges seamlessly with your connected lifestyle, providing a level of convenience and ease that is the crowning touch for your Kirsch window coverings.


This app requires a Kirsch Automation Hub for operation. Don’t have one? Use our "Demo" feature to explore the Automation app experience.


Features:
* Control Kirsch motorized window coverings, individually or in groups, throughout your entire home.


* Quickly and easily navigate the app using built-in tabs: Dashboard, Rooms, Scenes, and Automations.


* Add favorite Scenes, Shades, and Automations to your Dashboard, so they appear first whenever you open the app.


* Create customized shade position settings called "Scenes" for convenience, or to manage your natural lighting and privacy needs throughout the day.


* Put your Scenes in motion using Automations. Schedule your Scenes to activate automatically at different times of day to deliver the look and comfort you want, without you having to press a button. Configure Automations to occur at a specific time, or based on unique Sunrise and Sunset times in your specific location.


* Easily enable or disable Automations, so that your blinds take the day off when you do.


* Manage Scenes and Automations from anywhere with Remote Access. This requires an Internet connection and initial in-home setup.

Ratings and reviews

The support person setup the app on my phone but left no documentation on how to setup the app. One option that was set, was to delete the setup information, including permissions, if the app isn’t used for a period of time. The app stopped working. I updated to the new version and it won’t run because of permission settings but it doesn’t indicate which ones. I don’t know why the installer set the app to self-destruct. It seems like a useless option.

App sucks and must be like two feet away from one of the blinds and have GPS and Bluetooth on connect to shades (not just first time but Everytime). Doesn't work with Google home doesn't work away from the house. They could have easily made the remote Wi-Fi enabled and that would have made everything work. But low tech company trying to add on tech to their products is a spectacular fail.

Update: The app and technology don't work. I have 2 hubs and 1 transponder in my 2000 sq ft ranch that is 1 year old. With a orbi mesh wifi network. I have 9 Kirsch shades. They don't stay connected to the app. I constantly have to refresh random shades to get them to open. Also let's not forget that there is still no Google Home integration. Their support is good but it's just a poor product. Stay away if you want automation.
