Ready to go
IKEA's FYRTUR Blackout Roller Blinds come in sizes ranging from 23-inches to 48-inches wide, each of which can cover up to 76-inch tall windows. The FYRTUR Blinds are simple to install with a rechargeable battery supplying the juice for months in between charges. These smart blinds operate with a small wireless remote, but connecting these blinds to HomeKit requires IKEA's TRADFRI Gateway, so be sure to pick one up if you plan to install these in your home.
Smart and affordable
Unlike other HomeKit options, the SmartWings Motorized Roller Shades do not require a home hub to get them connected. These indoor blinds from SmartWings utilize Bluetooth connectivity so you can pair them directly to your smart home, and since there is no hub involved, they are the most affordable way to add HomeKit to your windows. These blinds are available in many colors and sizes and come in other styles, such as a unique zebra blind and a wood-look finish.
All the options
The Graywind Motorized Shades come in loads of options, with different colors and sizes on offer. They'll connect up to HomeKit so you can use them with the Home App, and you can customize them on the Amazon page. For the HomeKit option you'll need the 'AC37' motor, and if you do, you'll not be able to use them with any other smart hub or assistant, so keep that in mind.
Thread inside and out
Powered by Eve MotionBlind technology, Omnia's Smart Roller Blinds support the latest smart home connectivity standard, Thread. With Thread, Omnia's blinds feature quicker response times, greater reliability over Bluetooth, and a hassle-free setup that doesn't require entering in your Wi-Fi password or installing a dedicated hub. Omnia's blinds are custom ordered, so you can specify the exact size you need, the transparency level, and the fabric colors to match your home's decor.
Cellular smarts
Like IKEA's FYRTUR blinds, the TREDANSEN lineup comes in several pre-sized options that cover most standard window sizes. These blinds — available in black-out and light filtering styles, feature a more traditional cellular blind design but still include conveniences such as rechargeable batteries, physical remotes, and, HomeKit. The only downside? HomeKit requires IKEA's TRADFRI Gateway to make all of the magic happen.
Great, outdoors
Available in four weather and UV-resistant fabrics, the SmartWings Motorized Outdoor Shades bring smart home convenience to the great outdoors. These outdoor blinds connect to HomeKit with just a scan of a pairing code thanks to built-in Bluetooth so that you can add a little privacy via Siri in a matter of minutes. In addition to HomeKit, these outdoor shades support a physical remote control and solar charging via an optional panel for added convenience.
Hey Siri, close the blinds!
While you may need to order a custom size for your windows, smart blinds are some of our favorite HomeKit accessories with their ability to add even more convenience to the home.
