Test

If you regularly read my connected house tests, you know that I love all these gadgets.Recently, I have a house with roller shutters and I was looking forward to being able to change my switches to something connected and controllable to the voice.I was also very looking forward to being able to create a routine so that my shutters open in the morning at the same time as the sun, offering me a magnificent view.How to get up with that?

As soon as I got out of the box, my first impression is that of an excellent product.The finishes are worked, the switch is quite heavy in hand and the very pleasant touch.Design level, I find our vollo max easy really very beautiful, all in simplicity.Its backlight, configurable, beware, is also all finesse.It is a pretty blue (which gives badly in the photo) that lights the three buttons: opening, stop and closing.It is also possible to program the ignition and extinction of backlighting, for example, to turn it off at night and not be embarrassed if you like to sleep in total darkness.

As we have seen, the installation of the switch as well as pairing at the Konyks application is a real child's play.My Echo Show, which manages all my objects connected to the voice, immediately detected the new menu.Now, I can say: "Alexa, opens the shutters of the living room/bedroom", "Alexa, closes the shutters of the living room/bedroom".Really, I love it, especially when the sun is bothering me at certain times when I'm on my computer.

The application is not to be outdone.I was able to adjust the roller shutters of the living room as well as the master bedroom according to the schedules that suited me best.Thus, they open at 7:20 am from Monday to Friday, and close at 6.30 p.m. every day, Monday to Sunday.On weekends, I take care of it personally so as not to be woken up by the sun, you never know, sometimes my son decides to make a fat morning!

Note that it is a shame not to be able to wedge yourself directly on the sun's timetables thanks to the time zone.Maybe via a future update?

Edit: After a return from the brand, it is quite possible to wedge on the sun's timetables thanks to the scenarios!Indeed, it is possible to interact with the shutters when the weather changes, example when the local temperature is greater than 28 ° C, but also when the place changes and that you start from the house, to add a scheduleand even when the status of the device changes, example, when an unusual activity is detected.Super practical!

Conclusion

As always, Konyks offers us a great product well finished here with very beautiful finishes.The Vollo Max Easy is a major asset when you have roller shutters.Sold at a price of € 32.90 or even less in promotion, he will be your ally not to move and above all, make your son believe that you are a magician.Now, I'm waiting for a double connected switch, both for roller shutters and for light!Come on Konyks!
