Smart Shades

Matter smart shades that work with your smart home. All of it.

Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings — one shade, every ecosystem. No proprietary hub, no extra app, no lock-in. Measured and installed across the Greater Seattle Area.

Why Matter

The open standard, not another walled garden

Most motorized shades lock you into one brand's hub and one brand's app. If you change phones, switch voice assistants, or the manufacturer sunsets its app — you're stuck.

Matter is the open smart-home standard built by Apple, Google, Amazon, and Samsung together. Our Smart package uses Matter motors, which means your shades pair directly with whichever ecosystem you already use — and keep working if you ever switch. Say "good morning" and the bedroom shades rise. Schedule the west-facing windows to close before the afternoon heat. Tap your phone from the couch. It all runs locally in your home, so it works even when the internet doesn't.

Works with what you already own

No hub in the house yet? Most homes already have what's needed — a HomePod mini, Apple TV 4K, newer Echo, or Nest Hub acts as the border router. We confirm what you have at the consultation, and if you need one, we'll recommend the right ~$60–$100 option for your phone and household.

Simple pricing, real warranty

Our Smart package adds $200 per shade to the standard manual price — that includes the Matter smart motor, pairing and setup with your smart home before we leave, and a 5-year warranty backed by the same local crew that installed it. Power options: rechargeable battery, solar, hardwired, or Power over Ethernet.

Every shade style we carry can be motorized — roller, zebra, cellular, roman, woven wood, skylight, and outdoor patio shades.

Smart shade questions, answered

Do they work without internet?
Yes. Matter-over-Thread shades communicate locally inside your home network. Schedules and control keep working even when your internet is down — unlike cloud-dependent Wi-Fi motors.
Do I need a hub?
One device in your home needs to act as a Thread border router. Most smart-home households already have one: HomePod mini, Apple TV 4K, newer Echo, or Nest Hub. We sort this out for you at the consultation.
What if I switch from iPhone to Android (or vice versa)?
Your shades come with you. Matter shades can be shared across ecosystems or re-paired from Apple Home to Google Home without replacing any hardware. That's the point of an open standard.
Can I mix manual and smart shades in one project?
Absolutely — many customers motorize the hard-to-reach and high-traffic windows and keep manual operation elsewhere. You pick the package window by window.
How is this different from other motorized shade systems?
Many motorized shades on the market use proprietary systems that require the manufacturer's own hub and app, and integrate with only some ecosystems. Matter shades pair natively with all four major platforms and run on an open standard — no single company controls whether your shades keep working.
