Question

Suggestions for blackout smart blinds for my kids rooms? There are so many to choose from Would like the ability to integrate via SmartThings or Zwave.  

Answer 1

IKEA Fyrtur are the budget friendly pick

@clorindaclorinde are the blinds actually good quality?  

---

The fabric is pretty basic and only available in grey, but the hardware is great quality.  

---

@clorindaclorinde that fabric will be a deal killer.  

---

For 50% the cost of any other powered smart shade, to me, the compromises are worth it.  

---

@clorindaclorinde I would think the same. Just not my wife lol

---

I'm pretty sure you could hack them and add different fabric for less than other brands.  

---

The fabric more than passed the wife test at my home. My wife loves the look. They are nicely textured

Answer 2

I'm with @clorindaclorinde If you have SmartThings, you don't need the Ikea hub.

@ferde I don't know about any tubular motor, but I do know that the Zemismart one does work with ST.  .
