What Are Automated Shades?
Automated shades are motorized blinds for home that can be programmed or controlled remotely. They integrate seamlessly with smartphones, voice assistants, and smart home systems to create a responsive living space tailored to your daily routine.
Whether you prefer battery-powered motors or hardwired setups, these shades work quietly and efficiently—offering both functionality and high-end design.
Why Homeowners in Northeast Austin Love Them

2. Comfort at Your Command
Control hard-to-reach windows with ease using a mobile app or smart home hub. Our motorized cellular shades are perfect for second-story windows or angled ceilings.
