Description
SwitchBot Blind Tilt – Pull Cord Blind Adapter
Not everyone has blinds with a wand… so I fixed that 😉
This is a re-imagined adapter for the SwitchBot Blind Tilt, designed specifically for pull-cord blinds. If your blinds are operated by a cord rather than a twisting rod, this design lets you automate them without losing manual control.
The adapter allows your blinds to be:
- Controlled directly from the SwitchBot app
- Automated via Alexa, Google Assistant, or Home Assistant
- Still operated manually, exactly like normal blinds
So if the smart stuff ever fails, or you just want to tug the cord like a caveman, you still can.
🧠 Design Goals
- Compatible with pull-cord blinds
- No permanent modifications to your blinds
- Keeps manual operation fully functional
- Uses simple, easy-to-source hardware
- Clean, printable, and robust

If this design saved you from replacing perfectly good blinds, a boost would be massively appreciated.
It fuels future tinkering, questionable design decisions, and the occasional “why didn’t I think of that sooner?” moment 😅
