Features:
- Connectivity: Bluetooth
- Custom size: Yes, and everything else
- Compatibility: Levolor app
Over 300 colors and materials to choose from ensures you’ll definitely find something that matches your style at Levolor. Once you’ve settled on a color, texture, and material, choose the size and mount, control type, power source, remote, and whether you want the standard, top down/bottom up, or day/night.
But high degree of customization doesn’t quite reach the standard home automation systems, unfortunately. Though these are smart blinds in that they can be controlled through an app on your phone where you can add schedules that will run whether you’re at home or away, they connect only through Bluetooth to the app and are not readily compatible with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, HomeKit, or any other apps aside from Levolor. This is a good option if customization is important to you, but you don’t mind an extra app to use them.
Depending on customizations, one of Levolor’s motorized room darkening 24×36 inches roller shades can cost from $500-$700, so it’s definitely not the most affordable option and something to consider when weighing the pros and cons of customization, price, and smart home compatibility.
Pros:
- Highly customizable
- Can use with the Levolor app
Cons:
- Not readily compatible with home automation systems
