I recently moved into a new apartment, and considering that I try to live within three smart home ecosystems at once – Apple Home, Google, and Amazon Alexa – it was a chance to have a bit of a reset with my smart home, weed some things out and also add in some new smart gadgets.
My new spot has a bevy of windows, which is a major win for natural sunlight, but also a ton of classic shades that use a metal-beaded design for raising and lowering. That’s when I realized: wouldn’t it be cool to open or close them with the tap of an app or to ask via a smart assistant?
