I rest my case.
Main power source: Battery 4xAAA NiMH (not included)
Alternate power source: AC to DC 5V 1800mA, switch mode power supply with output regulated to 5V and a micro USB type B connector (not included)
Motor torque: ≈0,8Nm (lift/pull capacity: 6kg/13lb)
The output axel can run with different speeds, the speed is adjusted in the app.
If your power source is comform this specs and if your device does not comply with this specs, then you should contact Teptron.

you need 4xAAA NiMH, this are rechargeable, see the manual :
Important! Only use rechargeable batteries. Non rechargeable batteries are not allowed to be recharged and should not be used. Batteries must be fully charged prior to installation.
Probably it's not a problem to use the 1.5V batteries you mentioned, when there is no solarpanel or USBcharger connected.
If you increase the tension (much) the clicking sound is much less
But I think high tension is not healthy for the MOVE.
Beside that when increasing the tension the noice of MOVE is louder, logical because MOVE has to work harder.
High the highest stretch??? I think I don't understand what you trying to say
Can you please describe it a little more?
Always make sure you get the right amount power that a batterie can deliver, for example there a batteriess with say 1200 MAH but also with 2500 MAH... The move needs 5 volt and 1800MAH = 9 Wats
4 batterys 1,5V =6V and if they are 1500 MAH can deliver 9 wats. That is what they can deliver for 1 hour fully operating, and slowy losing there power wich every batterie does.
If you take4 Batteries 1.5V and 2400 MAH you got 14.4 Watt wich means it can deliver the amount of power that the move needs longer.
Not sure the difference between a LIDL and DURACELL but almost for sure that the DURACELL got a higher MAH
The main power source for MOVE is 4 AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries.
The alternative power source that can be used is an AC to DC 5V 1800mA, switch mode power supply with output regulated to 5V and a micro USB type B connector.
The 5V is not for the batteries is it? what I can find all rechargeable batteries that I can find are 1,2V any recommendation?
Could you maybe make a photo of your situation ? (how do you put the wires and power so they aren't much visiblefor the eye?)
I ordered 6 zwave move blinds, but i am thinking about getting the BT instead.
Thank you for the question. At the moment we are focused at getting all MOVE functions stable in Android and iOS , once we are finished with that we are going to look into IFTTT and all the other systems we have received requests to integrate with.
"We have not yet started to work with Athom in making MOVE compatible
with their system but we have talked a bit with them and it is something
we will got into details with as soon as we are going to start
integrating MOVE to different home automation systems.
We have a list of over 60 systems that we have received request of
integrating with and we will go through them all but unfortunately we
will not be able to say for sure if integration is possible with the
different systems until we have started that work.
Our first step that we are working on is making the documentation and
open up the Bluetooth API and once we have had time to finish it we will
start the work with integrating MOVE to different home automation
systems but at the moment we are overwhelmed with all other work that
need to be done that we have prioritized higher than the Bluetooth API.
So we are thankful for everyones patience and hope to have more
information soon."
I would love to buy loads of these
Just email them and ask on the api status.
Yeah it is correct unfortunatly. I recently had contact with them on Twitter and they told me they gonna work on it in June again. But As with @Wimstradamus my interest for this product is also realy realy low. I have them a couple of months now and in theory these devices are great but after a couple of months of usage I have several issues with them. For instance one of our move's who is driving the biggest curtains suddenly can't lift it anymore. And on another window it can't lift it at all
My two Moves are working quite well since 4 months. Only issue was that after two months I had to re-tighten the chains by moving the devices 6-8 mm lower then the original position. I presume that some of the problems can be related to a powerissue. My advice is to use a USB-loader of good quality and enough current (>1800 mA per device).
And ofcourse I'm also waiting and waiting for BT at Homey.
