After my initial delight at being able to use Alexa to control the timing of opening and closing my curtains (the Silent Gliss timer is a pig to set and reset) I became disappointed at the realisation that the device is just really and off/on switch albeit with an interface to the Silent Gliss controller.What you can,t do effectively is to pause or stop part way when opening or closing the curtains.

I have only just received and installed the product, unfortunately it arrived with no literature to assist be with the set up. However a quick phone call to Ajax and they provided me with the literature very promptly via email.
The literature was very informative and easy to follow,even for a novice like myself. First impressions of the product are very impressive.

Definitely the simplest and best solution for providing Smart control to your Silent Gliss 5100 curtain rail. Does not interfere with your existing Silent Gliss timer or remote control.
Simply adds to what you already have, except that setting smart timers using an app on a smartphone/device is much more flexible with more functionality than using the Silent Gliss timer.

Works fine with Silentgliss 5100 and Smartlife app using both Schedule and/or Sunset/Sunrise times. The later does have time delay/advance up to 5 hours (4hrs 59min). For both programs, ON means curtain Close also switches On smart plug. OFF means curtain Opens and switches Off smart plug. Relies on good WiFi signal. Definite recommend.

I had an email from the vendor asking for an image of my curtain motor. Two days after sending it the adapter arrived neatly packed with all I needed to make it work. Nicely set out instructions, although it is so simple to fit they are not really needed. After setting up routines I now have my curtains opening in the morning at a set time per morning and closing at sunset +20 minutes through the Alexa app. Great stuff.

Arrived within 48 hours. Instructions provided but incredibly simple to install if you already have a Hive Smart Plug. If not the AXAET ETMars Smart Plug (supplied) should work but I was not keen to load an apk file onto my phone (I could not find the App in Play Store).Insert one end of adaptor cable (RJ10 connector) into 5100 motor RJ10 socket, the other end (USB cable) into the supplied adaptor plug which is then plugged into your Hive Smart Plug and you are ready to use Alexa App to install device and write routines for oral instructions and scheduled operations. Setup took less than 10 minutes. I’m surprised Silent Gliss haven’t produced an adaptor like this but might not be any cheaper in any case. The ETMars smart plug is now surplus to requirements but I am very happy with the solution.

I bought this product to pare my Silent Gliss 5100 curtain track with my Echo Dot because I’d always had a problem with programming the timer that came with it. The Ajaxonline Smart WiFi Adapter was easy to install, but not being very techno savvy, not so easy for me to set up. I emailed the company and AJ rang me and talked me through what to do. I couldn’t be happier with the product. It does everything I wanted it to do. 10 out of 10 from me!

The kit works like a dream. It is easy to connect and works well with google home. The after sales service by Ajay was excellent and I would but from this company again.

first ETMars smart plugs failed with the same fault after a matter of just a few weeks. (China manufacture) When I spoke to Ajax they could not have been more helpful. They supplied two replacement smart plugs which arrived in just two working days. They came with full set up data and seem to be of German manufacture.No problems with installation and we now have once again two sets of automated curtains. Full marks to Ajax for their after sales support and service
