Then there is a small lid on the left side of the blinds which you can open. I simply had to load the batteries via the included repeater that doubles as a USB outlet. The blinds come pre-paired with the included remote. I have personally not needed to do that yet as removing the batteries can be done easily while mounted. This makes it very easy to remove the blinds if you ever need to.

The two mounts are screwed into the wall and the blinds themselves just click into those mounts. It took me a moment to measure exactly where I need to place the mounts but the rest was done in minutes.

They have two small mounting brackets that you can freely move left to right on the blinds. Mounting the blinds was a pleasant surprise. I bought mine at the end of 2020 and now around 3 months later they sit at 65% battery capacity while being used at least twice a day. Overall I wish they were a little bit faster and quieter but all of this is totally offset by the fact that they run on battery. If you are looking to buy a Fyrtur blind for your (smart) home consider doing it via my affiliate link to support this blog: It is quiet enough to not be a nuisance during the day but you might not want to move them while someone is still sleeping in the room. They work pretty quiet but you can still hear the motor. The blinds are reasonable fast, they take around 35 seconds to fully close the around 180cm high window. A combination of both seems to not be available. IKEA also offers the Kadrijl which is partly see-through.

They can definitely be used to black out a (bed)room. The Fyrtur blinds are fully opaque, not letting any light through.

I had to buy the biggest one to cover some old dual windows but they are easily long enough to fully cover them. The blinds are available in different length and width. Remote and repeater that come with the blinds
