To see just how easy it is to set up, continue reading for a step-by-step.

What Is It?

Okay, so the Apple HomeKit sounds appealing…but what exactly is it? What does it do? To put it shortly, it’s the smart home integration of your Apple products. By allowing you to control your home from one single app, you can take control and manage your home.

Thermostats, doorbells, lighting, security systems, and of course…automatic blinds and shades, can all be controlled with the touch of a button, or with a simple “Hey, Siri…”

Often referred to as automatic shades, automated window coverings, remote control blinds and a whole bunch of other names, motorized shades make your life easier. With shades that fuse into a smart home system, you can sit back and enjoy these benefits (and more!)
