SHADE CONTROL WITH GOOGLE HOME BLUETOOTH
Marshall’s new Homeline Bluetooth speakers are revamped rockstars.Review: Aqara Smart Hub M2 – a new smart home challenger appears.Meta has reportedly canned its dual-camera smartwatch.Have any thoughts on this? Let us know down below in the comments or carry the discussion over to our Twitter or Facebook. Maybe now, SmartShades means I won’t have to spend that much. It was going to be over $1,000 per window, because window coverings are insanely expensive. I’ve recently moved into a new place and was looking at smart blinds. Plus, you can move the unit easily to another window or home. That sounds like a better option than snaking wires around, or even paying an electrician to wire things in. The SmartShades need wiring into the mains, but you can snap on the $69 BatteryPack unit to each SmartShades control box and have up to six months of wire-free control. Signing up for a RYSE account gets you more functionality, including Alexa, Google Home, remote control from outside the home, and scheduling/grouping options. Up to 10 SmartShades can be linked to each SmartBridge, and then you get HomeKit voice command integration as well. While individual shades can be controlled in the RYSE app, you’ll want the $69 SmartBridge hub to control your whole house.

The other wonderful thing is that the unit is compatible with plastic- and metal-beaded chains, and cord loops of 1.6mm to 3.2mm diameter. Then you can use the RYSE app, Alexa, Google Home, or even Siri + HomeKit to control them. Hitting the market after a successful Kickstarter run, the SmartShades retrofit your existing blinds and shades to smart ones. That’s about to change, with the $169 RYSE SmartShades. One thing that isn’t so easy is making your blinds smarter, at least not without a huge cost. When you’re trying to create a truly smart home, it’s simple to fill it with cameras, lights, and other gear.
