Learn More About Smart Roller Shades
What is a Smart Roller Shade?
The structure of a roller shade is quite simple, consisting of a fabric panel and a rolling tube. By rotating the tube, the fabric moves up or down, allowing you to control the amount of light. Different from manual roller shades, smart roller shades feature a built-in motor. The motor operates the rolling tube in response to signals from a remote control, mobile app, or other smart devices. As one of the most widely used window treatments, roller shades come in a variety of fabrics to suit different spaces and styles.

How to choose your smart motor?
-
Since smart motors determine the compatibility with smart ecosystems, choosing the right one is especially important for your smart home.
Firstly, you need to confirm whether you already have a smart ecosystem at home or plan to build one in the future; if so, simply choose a motor that supports the corresponding ecosystem.
If you don't have a smart ecosystem and only want to experience entry-level smart shades, you can choose Bluetooth or Hardwired WiFi motor and control your shades through Graywind App.
If you want to ensure strong compatibility for a long term, we highly recommend selecting a Matter motor for your smart shades.
