Considering all the smart home technology on the market right now, it’s not entirely surprising something as simple as your blinds can be intelligent, too. Whether you want to retract, extend, open, tilt, or close altogether, Alexa Smart Blinds (that’s to say, blinds you control through voice commands on an Amazon Alexa device or through a smart app) are a great way to automate your home with ease.
Alexa smart blinds are still pretty new, but there are already some great options if you’re looking to make the switch. Across a handful of styles, including rollers or zebra-style, totally custom installs or pre-fits, there’s an option that’s bound to work for you and your space. Below, you’ll find our favorite Alexa smart blinds you can buy right now. Because who wants to stand up and twist the blinds when you can just ask Alexa to do it instead?
1. Serena by Lutron Alexa Smart Blinds
When it comes to setting up smart blinds, you want something easy to set up, easy to use and maintain. Fortunately, that’s the case with Serena by Lutron’s Alexa Smart Blinds. While they’ll certainly work with Alexa, they also function across all smart devices, including Apple and Google. Plus, the quiet raising means you won’t be disturbed in the morning when you want the shades to come up. Overall, these are far and away the best choice to ensure you’ll get the privacy you need with the ease of modern tech to reimagine your blinds experience entirely.
2. Ikea Fyrtur Alexa Smart Blinds
Ikea continues to be the go-to for home furnishings, and their Fyrtur Alexa Smart Blinds are a fantastic option. While you can’t customize the size of the shades completely like you can with other options on this list, there are a handful of pre-sized options that should fit several sets of windows in your home. You’ll also need to place them close to an outlet, as the provided signal repeater can be no further away than 32 feet. But for those looking to upgrade their existing setup with a quality and cost-effective replacement will be more than impressed with these.
