Z-wave Home Automation Hubs

Our Smart Shades communicate using a frequency called Z-wave that is used by many home automation hubs. Z-wave capable home automation hubs and are designed to let various different devices, from door sensors and lights, to your HVAC system and shades, all work together under one network. Z-wave is a low power wireless mesh network which has the ability to extend your range endlessly while letting your devices run for long periods of time, especially if they are battery powered. Z-wave enabled hubs vary in cost and start as low as $70 for our highly recommended Samsung's SmartThings hub.

Through a smart hub, you can control your shades using your phone or other devices as well as set up automations based on temperature, movement, time, as well as many other triggers or events.Additional sensors compatible with the hub maybe required for some of these triggers or events.
