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.

Yoolax sells custom made motorized blinds and shades direct to consumers, cut to the measurements of each window. Its catalog covers blackout and light filtering roller shades, zebra shades, cellular shades and motorized curtains, and the same fabric can be ordered with a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee or Matter over Thread motor. That choice is what decides the ecosystem: the Bluetooth version runs from the Yoolax app with no hub, while Zigbee and Matter reach Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home and SmartThings. All of them run on a rechargeable battery with an optional solar panel.
