9 Best Smart Blinds

Buying Smart Blinds

Smart blinds are window coverings that can be opened or closed through an app or a voice command on your smartphone. They come in various styles, such as accordion, slat, honeycomb, roller and light filtering. While these style choices are important, there is one major feature to consider above all: the power source. Blinds can be hardwired or powered by solar, battery or electrical cord.

Each source has its pros and cons. If your home gets little sun, solar wouldn’t be a great choice. Batteries need to be changed or charged but they don’t rely on the sun or electrical cords. Those cords for blinds can be an eyesore. And hardwired blinds need to be installed professionally. So making the right choice is key.
