RYSE is a Toronto based smart home company that motorizes the window coverings a home already has instead of replacing them. Its SmartShade drives the bead chain of an existing roller shade and its SmartCurtain rides the rod behind the fabric of an existing curtain, both installed without tools and both running on a rechargeable battery. Control is over Bluetooth from the RYSE app, and the separate SmartBridge adds remote access along with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
