Graywind sells made to measure motorized window coverings direct to consumers, including blackout and light filtering roller shades, zebra shades, cellular shades, sheer shades and motorized curtain tracks. Its blinds ship with Zigbee motors that pair straight with several Amazon Echo models with no separate hub, and with a fifteen channel timer remote that can schedule a window without a phone. The motors run on a rechargeable battery with an optional solar panel, and carry a two year warranty.

CanadaRYSE 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.
