Smart / Motorized Blind solution - Mastervue / Somfy

[JibbersCrabst]

Hey guys.

I am busy installing blinds into my new place and wanted to motorize a few of them to work with Alexa.

I got a quotes for Mastervue electric motors which uses the following remote: https://blindsolutions.co.za/product/mastervue-1-channel-remote/

I see that it works on 433MHz range. So, in theory, I'm sure they would be able to link up to Alexa using a Broadlink RM Pro? https://www.communica.co.za/product...fmzTj6wPY1lPOxJcZXwP7Vrvq9EmwjwxoC3BsQAvD_BwE

I was quoted for Somfy's, but they are literally double the price. If the Broadlink can integrate with the Mastervue's using 433MHz, what other disadvantages would there be in not going for the Somfy's (besides the 1st party app integration)?

Thanks.
