Bluetooth vs. Wi-Fi Electric Blinds: Which is Right for You?

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi electric blinds are both popular choices for smart home automation. But which type is right for you?

Range:

Bluetooth blinds have a shorter range than Wi-Fi blinds, typically up to 8 meters. This means that you need to be relatively close to the blinds to control them. Wi-Fi blinds, on the other hand, have a range of up to 50 meters, so you can control them from anywhere in your home, or anywhere in the world through the internet.

Reliability:

Bluetooth blinds are more susceptible to interference from other smart devices in your home, such as microwave ovens and cordless phones. Wi-Fi blinds are less susceptible to interference, so they are more reliable.

Control Method:

Bluetooth blinds typically require a dedicated app to control them. Wi-Fi blinds, on the other hand, can often be controlled using a smart home hub or voice assistant, such as Alexa or Google Home. This makes Wi-Fi blinds more convenient to use.

Which Type is Right for You?

Overall, Wi-Fi electric blinds are a better choice for most people. They offer a longer range, more reliable connection, and more convenient control options. However, Bluetooth blinds may be a better choice if you only need to control your blinds from a short distance or if you don't have a Wi-Fi network in your home.
