- These are super budget friendly smart shades for your entire house! It's an awesome way to upgrade your smart home that won't break the bank (even if you only retrofit one or two rooms). The motorized shades look beautiful, with Zigbee controller they connect with my SmartThings for easy automation routines, and perfect for vacation mode or solar passive homes to help with heating and cooling throughout the year.

Installed 18 of these a little over a month ago (have 2 sunrooms which are basically all windows on 3 sides). I'm using smarthings to automate them based on sunrise/sunset, away modes, etc as well as using alexa as needed. Took a while to set them up in the smarthings b/c you can't batch set heights but aside from that, loving them so far. Spent around 4k all in. Other smart shades would have set me back closer to 10k for the number i needed.
Hi Christopher, thank you for posting pricing, i havent checked the website but do they offer shades for big windows?
@@GeneralCondom Yep, we got one that covers a full slider - 70 inches wide by 84 high.
Hi Oswald - Did you get the Z-wave plus smart motor or the Zigbee? If you get zigbee, did you need a zigbee hub and smartthings hub to control it?
Did you get the ones that are mounted inside the window frame or outside?
brb... measuring all my windows. probably won't order the blinds because I'll forget to, but they look AWESOME
Hi, would you know if these shades work with apple HomeKit?
These look great! Thanks for the amazing review!
this is missleading on the price. they start at $140 ish dollars but after inputting size and type of motor etc they are wll over $350 each blind
Well... Are the tuya China cloud based or can i use them a little more dumb mode?
Great vid budd, thank you
Does it work. With Tuya Bridge
I actually like your dual layer trick, Ben. I just ordered a few, but I think I'll make some updates for my master bedroom.
Care to elaborate? Did you like them?
Can I pair them with a third party Smart button?
What's your reasoning behind putting the layered blackout shade as an outside mount and not an inside window frame mount. Loved the video.
the reasoning behind this is it allows him to allow sunlight in via the 50% inside mount without the home feeling like a fish bowl. And blackout for the evenings.
He made a mistake and should’ve mounted the blackout on the inside for a “tighter seal” and the 50% transparent shades on the outside since light will be bleeding through anyway.
is there blackout version of these?
With the SmartWings blinds, are they centered in the window (for inside mount) when installed or 1/2 off to one side due to motor placement in the cassette?
My dream is a house completely outfitted with smart shades... they would be so convenient!
Imagine one button to control ALL the window shades in your home... it's amazing 🤩
@@AuthenTech ➡️ hello Ben ., do they make these shades for skylight windows
@@Voltrondefenderoftheuniverse yes
@@alexyang5956 ➡️thanks 👍🏻
What is the warranty
They start at $179 or $198. But you have add ons. Motor, solar panel, shipping etc. I ordered for 2 sliding glass doors and I ended up paying $1,500
I guess he’s definition of affordable isn’t ours
What a deal! lol
Can't remember if you mentioned warranty?
Are they synchronized when going up and down?
No they're not, at least not the HomeKit version.
Nice
Look nice but I'd stick to buying a paper shade for my room I'm staying on rent month to month cuz I don't plan to stay there any longer next summer.
ahh my windows are 106 inches wide I'd need two & there would be a gap between them
thanks for redefining what is ' affordable.'
What else would you recommend for those starting up their smart homes? Like top 3 things that you currently use?
Lights, locks, security cameras, thermostat. The lights are the only one of those that gets adjusted often the rest are set and forget. I love the eufy smartlock
I’m just starting my journey and I’ve decided smart shades, thermostat, and lighting.
How much did it cost you to do your entire house? Sounds expensive (and awesome)!
for my house with 8 windows and the features I selected it ran about 2400$. Now that price is gonna very depending on what features.
Don't be fooled when this says "affordable" I just checked and they are no more or less affordable than all the other over priced motorized blinds out there.
Have you looked at the Lutron Serena?
Compared to Lutron Serena, which would have been my first choice if not for the price, the price of Smartwing’s shades are actually pretty decent.
Any alternative recommendations?
Priced the same setup on lutron Serena and these. It's just slightly over 1/2 the price. I'm covering 3 huge windows and prices just quickly with wider windows.
Could you use android phone to control those shades or is It only iPhone
Yes, Android works too. You can get Alexa controllers, or other means/apps of control
@@AuthenTech awesome
Samsung smart things comes preloaded on most androids now
it is not possible to install this in 5 mins
2 months in, still happy? Considering nearly 2 dozen of these.
Still running them and love the automations! Haven't had to charge batteries yet which I'm impressed. ST app says battery approx 45% left
Cool idea, but way too expensive
🤩
"Not much more". Proceeds to show blinds at half the price
“Shades you can afford” Total comes out to 400
Exactly and he has 15 of them. wow
Do you know how much blinds like Serena or Hunter Douglas cost? Likely 3-4 times as much!
$175? no thanks
Yea $300 is affordable for one blind…mfer
I clean windows, dirty glass.
Hand gestures are distracting
I'll never understand how anyone considers $150+ per blind "affordable"
How lazy have we humans become that we cannot even walk 3 feet from out bed to the window to close it. If there is an aconomic collapse, 95% of people will not survive
These are not affordable
These are base price
They charge you for every feature
Please change
Your video description
IKEA is affordable
Look at the Lutron Serena and you'll see why he calls these affordable.
@@GM-cr4ykso a Mercedes S class is affordable because a Rolls is more expensive?
Does the fact that a crazy expensive option exists, make everything else afforfable?
