I priced out motorized blinds months before moving into my townhome, and it's incredibly expensive when you go through popular installation companies. Nevertheless, smart blinds were not something I could skip. My home is on the corner of a busy cross street in our neighborhood, and the entire street can quite literally peer in. I knew we'd need shades, and an easy and reliable way to open and close them.
We found our answer in SelectBlind's offerings of smart blinds and shades. I'll have a full review coming soon on my home's setup thus far (and how I'm using them), but the customizable options make it easy to find a blind type and style that fits your space. I was pleasantly surprised with the pricing and ease of installation, too. Plus, the SmartConnect bridge allows me to sync up my blinds together and keep them on a schedule to open and close. I can control via a remote or my phone via a mobile app.
The blinds open in the morning 30 minutes after my alarm, just as I'm heading downstairs (my bedroom faces the street), and our main floor blinds are already open in time for my first cup of coffee. They close 30 minutes before sunset, and I never have to worry about opening and closing tons of curtains or shades (or shoving myself behind my couch to do so).
