Smart Shades You Can Actually Afford! (SmartWings Review) 

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.

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.

My dream is a house completely outfitted with smart shades... they would be so convenient!

brb... measuring all my windows. probably won't order the blinds because I'll forget to, but they look AWESOME

Hi, I am looking for an outside mount option since I don't have a lot of wiggle room for an inside mount. The window trims are 1 3/4" in height. Do you know the height of the valance of shades is enough to cover the top trim ? I don't like it exposed if outside mount is the only option I have.

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

Does it work. With Tuya Bridge

Well... Are the tuya China cloud based or can i use them a little more dumb mode?

What's your reasoning behind putting the layered blackout shade as an outside mount and not an inside window frame mount. Loved the video.

ahh my windows are 106 inches wide I'd need two & there would be a gap between them

Can't remember if you mentioned warranty?

it is not possible to install this in 5 mins

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.

The problems with all the shades is they never block out all the light from coming in.. i like it pitch black

How much did it cost you to do your entire house? Sounds expensive (and awesome)!

Can I pair them with a third party Smart button?

What is the warranty

Hi, would you know if these shades work with apple HomeKit?

is there blackout version of these?

These look great! Thanks for the amazing review!

Great vid budd, thank you

thanks for redefining what is ' affordable.'

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.

What else would you recommend for those starting up their smart homes? Like top 3 things that you currently use?

I’m looking for some that works with Siri.

Are they synchronized when going up and down?

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?

Could you use android phone to control those shades or is It only iPhone

Nice

2 months in, still happy? Considering nearly 2 dozen of these.

Cool idea, but way too expensive

This is just an ad for smartwings

"Not much more". Proceeds to show blinds at half the price

🤩

$175? no thanks

Hand gestures are distracting

Yea $300 is affordable for one blind…mfer

“Shades you can afford” Total comes out to 400

I clean windows, dirty glass.

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
