Features & Capabilities

SOMA Smart Shades turns regular window shades into smart shades using a solar-powered, wireless module. It’s easy to install and simple to control from your smartphone.

The extension’s movements are driven by a companion app via Bluetooth Low Energy. You can raise and lower blinds on demand or create automated patterns and room-specific schedules to simplify daily routines.

User Reviews

HomeKit integration and automations are the app's main strengths, with reliable scheduling for routines. However, users report frequent app crashes, problematic setup/calibration flows (Next button missing, need to recalibrate), and poor group-trigger support. Sunrise/sunset triggers are often unreliable, and connectivity with Soma Connect is inconsistent. Overall, the app is workable via HomeKit, but requires significant stability and feature reliability improvements.

Pros

Excellent HomeKit integration with automations and scenes.
Scheduling and routines supported (e.g., morning mode).
Effective control of individual shades via the app when calibrated.

Cons

App crashes or fails to launch frequently.
Group-level triggers/scheduling are not supported or have been removed; per-device control only.
Calibration/setup flow is flaky, including missing Next button and the need to recalibrate or re-add.
Sunrise/sunset triggers are unreliable or not functioning as expected.
Connectivity/reliability issues between Soma Connect and HomeKit; frequent setup and stability problems.

Recent reviews

No simple up/down. If your blinds slip you have to reconfigure every time

New units work great with Homekit. Automations and scenes work great! I see a lot of bad reviews 2 and 3 years ago, I guess all that was improved! Would recommend!!
