Experience Smarter Shades

Features & Capabilities

Automate Shades reimagines shade control as a connected home hub. Organize shades by room, group them into scenes, and automate with timers. One Tap shade tiles let you quickly open, close, or activate scenes, while a long press opens a dedicated control screen.

ARC live feedback shows shade position, battery level, and signal strength, while sunrise/sunset automation and multi-location control keep your spaces comfortable and secure. With HomeKit compatibility and voice assistants (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant), you can monitor and operate your shades from anywhere.

User Reviews

Users praise Kirill's support and note improvements in the app and reliability over time, but recurring issues with hub unresponsiveness, post-update regressions, and connectivity persist. Battery status can be inaccurate, and support quality varies. Overall, the product shows potential and largely works when issues are addressed, yet reliability concerns and update-related regressions remain frequent pain points.

Pros

Outstanding customer support, especially Kirill, with patient and knowledgeable guidance.
App stability and functionality have improved significantly over time.
Long-term reliability with occasional issues but generally trouble-free operation when issues are resolved.

Cons

Hub/app frequently becomes unresponsive, requiring reset or re-setup of many blinds and automations.
Updates can break rooms/scenes or cause UI glitches, leading to loss of configurations.
Connectivity issues: difficulty connecting to the hub via Ethernet/Wi‑Fi and weak connections between shades and hub; HomeKit status not updating properly.
Battery status reporting is inaccurate for some shades; incorrect battery levels and unnecessary low-battery alerts.
Support quality is inconsistent, with some users feeling abandoned or unsupported.

Recent reviews

I purchased the Automate system specifically for integration with Apple Home, so I could open and close blinds with Hey Siri. The system works fine for a few weeks, but then the hub becomes unresponsive and the only solution is to remove it from Home and add it back again. This is very painful if you have lots of blinds and automations, because you have to rename and recreate everything. After 3 failures and no help from Support I have given up. Do not purchase this system if Apple Home integration is important to you.
