Motorized blinds connected to your phone and your smart home. Set schedules, group them into scenes, and let them run themselves.
In short. Smart blinds are motorized blinds with a bridge or hub that connects them to your home network. That connection is what adds app control, schedules, scenes and voice assistants on top of the normal remote.
A plain motorized blind already gives you a remote and a wall switch. Adding the smart layer is worth it when you want the blinds to do things without you pressing anything.
Scheduling is not only a convenience. In a Winnipeg winter, closing blinds at dusk adds a layer of still air at the glass, which is the single easiest thing a window covering does for comfort. In summer, closing them on a south or west window before the afternoon sun hits keeps a room noticeably cooler than closing them after it has already heated up. Automating that is the difference between doing it sometimes and doing it every day.
Worth being straight with you: smart blinds are motorized blinds plus a hub. If you mainly want convenience on a high window, plain motorized blinds with a remote will do the job for less. The smart layer earns its keep when you want automation and scenes rather than just push button control.
If you already run a smart home setup, tell us which one at the measure. What matters is choosing a motor and hub that speak to the system you already have, so your blinds appear alongside your lights and thermostat instead of living in a separate app you never open.
You do not need an existing smart home. A hub and the manufacturer app are enough on their own, and you can add voice assistants later if you want them. We set the blinds up and show you how to use them before we leave.
The blinds themselves are manufactured here to your measurements. The smart setup happens at install, so the blinds are paired, grouped and working before we hand them over.

Smart BlindsA motorized blind moves with a remote or wall switch. A smart blind is a motorized blind connected to your home network through a hub, which adds app control, schedules, scenes and voice assistants. Every smart blind is motorized, but not every motorized blind is smart.
Yes. Once the hub is set up, the blinds can be controlled by voice alongside the rest of your smart home.
No. A hub and the manufacturer app are enough on their own. If you do already have a smart home, tell us which system at the measure so we match the motor and hub to it.
The remote and wall switch keep working, because they talk to the blind directly rather than through your network. You lose app control and scheduling until the connection returns.
It depends on how your existing blinds are built. We will look at them during the free in-home measure and tell you whether a retrofit is realistic or whether new blinds make more sense.
No pressure and no obligation. We measure, advise honestly and give you a written quote.
