The category is short on genuine venetian-slat-tilt motors, and this is the most credible one we could verify: a Tuya Zigbee motor built for aluminium venetian blinds rather than a repackaged roller motor. Be aware it's Zigbee to a Tuya gateway, not a device we could confirm on the Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA supported-device lists — in practice that means routing it through the Tuya cloud integration rather than fully local control, so don't buy it expecting the same local behaviour as our Aqara or Zemismart roller motors.
What can Home Assistant control on the Zemismart AM24-ZB Zigbee Venetian Blind Motor?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Lift position | Cover (0-100%) | Primary cover entity controlling raise/lower, reported via the Tuya cloud integration. |
| Tilt position | Cover (0-100%) | Secondary cover entity for slat tilt angle only, exposed as a separate entity rather than a tilt attribute on the lift cover. |
| Motor direction | Select | Reverses lift/tilt motor direction to correct for installation orientation; set once during setup. |
| Gateway dependency | Infrastructure | Not directly exposed by the integration, but the Tuya Zigbee gateway hub being online effectively gates whether the cover entities update at all. |
This shares the AM24 line's firmware with the WiFi AM24-WF, so once it lands in Tuya's cloud the Home Assistant side behaves the same way: two separate cover entities per blind, one for lift and one for tilt-only slat angle, with tilt position that can drift from what the physical slats are actually doing after cloud round-trips. The difference here is upstream of HA — the motor talks Zigbee only to its Tuya gateway hub, not to a generic coordinator, so if that gateway drops offline or loses its own cloud connection, both entities go stale even though your Zigbee network and HA are otherwise healthy. The community localtuya integration can pull it off the cloud polling path the same way it does for the WF model, but you're still going through the gateway's Tuya credentials, not a native Zigbee cluster.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Zemismart AM24-ZB Zigbee Venetian Blind Motor work with Home Assistant locally?
- Partly. The Zemismart AM24-ZB Zigbee Venetian Blind Motor connects to Home Assistant through the manufacturer's cloud integration (Tuya (Smart Life)), which relies on the Zemismart cloud. It works in Home Assistant, but commands go via the internet and stop working during an outage of your connection or the Zemismart service.
- Which protocol does the Zemismart AM24-ZB Zigbee Venetian Blind Motor use, and do I need a hub?
- The Zemismart AM24-ZB Zigbee Venetian Blind Motor uses Zigbee. To pair it with Home Assistant you need a Zigbee coordinator (for example a SkyConnect/ZBT-1 or Sonoff dongle) attached to your Home Assistant host. Zemismart's own hub is not required when you integrate through the manufacturer's cloud integration (Tuya (Smart Life)).
- How much does the Zemismart AM24-ZB Zigbee Venetian Blind Motor cost in the UK?
