What is a Smart Roller Shade?
The structure and fabric of zebra blinds differ greatly from roller blinds. Fabrics of Zebra blinds are typically made of parallel, alternating transparent and opaque stripes, creating a "zebra pattern" effect visually. The structure features a double-layer fabric, with one end secured by a connecting strip and the other end fixed to a rolling tube, which ensures the fabric rolls evenly when the motor drives the tube. Additionally, the hem bar of the zebra blinds is equipped with a hidden weighted bar, preventing the fabric from swaying under external forces like wind.

Since smart motor determines 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.
