Motorized window shades have been installed in luxury homes for decades. However, for the majority of homeowners, this technology convenience remains out of reach. The hardware costs hundreds of dollars and installation requires expert contractors and AV specialists.

Problems with conventional manual shades:

1. Snooze on. Manual shades don’t sync to open with your morning alarm.
2. Ouch! They require uncomfortable bending and reaching to operate.
3. Eco-Fail. It’s unrealistic to adjust manual shades throughout the day for optimal energy efficiency.
4. Bad Vibes. You can’t easily adjust in-room lighting, so it’s tough to set the mood the way you want it.

The SmartShade lets anyone enjoy the benefits of motorized window shades without even stepping on ladder. Unlike traditional motorized shades, SmartShade converts your EXISTING manual shade into an app-enabled SmartShade. While existing solutions require replacement of the entire roller system or complicated retrofit, SmartShade installs with basic hand tools in minutes.
