I’m so beyond happy with this purchase. Our bedroom has an oversized three panel window. I got quotes from multiple companies for a motorized blackout shade to go behind our blinds—lowest quote was just under $2,000 for one window. I decided to try my luck and order one of these instead—it’s perfect. Fully blocks out light and works amazingly well with our smart home. Took about an hour to install. The solar panel is a must—makes it a very hands off product. If you are looking for nice, smart, motorized blackout shades—this is the best option on the market.

Easy to order and install. Came in a reasonable amount of time as well.

Love the blinds! They work perfect with thread connection built in they stay connected to Apple HomeKit platform. Great build quality!

The ordering process was easy. Just make sure you read all the instructions on how to measure for the shade sizes thoroughly. They did not take long to receive. The installation and programming of the remotes is easy. The quality of the materials seems good and they operate well. I would definitely order more of these for my home.

We love the shades! The measurements were spot on and installing was a breeze. Connecting the shades to SmartThings hub was cinch. Due to the height of the windows, these are a perfect fit for what we needed. Having the option to use the remote control and or hub was essential due to the location of windows. We included the solar panel for charging the Zigbee motor. The shades came packaged nicely. No issues. Highly recommend SmartWings.

Blinds are really cool except one of them is stubborn with HomeKit. Im not sure what is going on with it as I had to reset it out the box.

The ordering and installation process was simple. Quality and appearance of product is nice! There is still something I need to figure out with SmartThings why occasionally it doesn’t open and close as per the automation schedule.
Main reason it is a 4 not a 5 is I’m a bit concerned that if we invest in these throughout and then want to go from SmartThings to HomeKit in the future this would be a big investment to replace….

The installation was really easy. The instructions did a good job of showing how that process works. It took me a couple of times to figure out the programming of the shade using the instructions. All you really need to know is that you select the number on the remote you would like to assign to the shade. Then, press and hold the button on the shade until it jogs (moves up and down real quick) and quickly press the stop button on the remote. For zWave installations, press and hold the shade button until the shad jogs, keep holding, it will jog once more. Let go of the button and the light will start flashing. Now you're in Z-Wave pairing mode.
I automate this Window Shade using the Home Assistant. I've been able to program it to open in the morning, and close right before Zoom meetings. I even have it close when the sun gets to a specific position to start shining direct sunlight into the house which always ends up overheating the house in the summer.
All in all, things work great and do what I needed.

Can’t say enough about how great these are. Works seamlessly with our Apple HomeKit setup and creating scenes are fast and simple. The price is a bit high (paid $350+ for a single roller blind), but it does work and looks great. Would likely buy again.
Toddy T.
Very easy to measure and order. Follow the measuring directions precisely. It's important for proper sizing. The motorized blinds work great! Installed in 20 minutes each. Charged fast and block the light just as I wanted. I'll purchase again for other windows.

This is our 6th shade that we installed. After the first shade order that took about 3 hours to install due to our own screw-up of factory resetting the device, all of the others took 15 minutes tops to install and program. Very easy and works nicely with Echo / Alexa devices. We upgraded to a new Echo (not an Echo Dot) which has ZigBee and makes finding new devices so easy. Now we can control each shade individually or as a group as shown in the video.
The quality of the packing, shipping is excellent and the installation brackets are spring loaded and installed with 1 or 2 screws per bracket. The quality of the shades is also excellent.
Our next order will probably look at the Zebra shades for other rooms in the house. We are extremely pleased and highly recommend.
Jeffery D.
Exactly what we wanted!

Great looking and price can't beat it

I'm writing a review mostly for the customer service! I spoke to an employee named Rachelle for a slight discrepancy I had with 1/3 shades that I ordered. Her customer service was fantastic, and my problem was taken care of very quickly. The products look nice and work well, but kudos to customer service!

Super easy install and set up! I was looking at another product before I found SMARTWINGS and I couldn’t be happier. The ordering experience was very easy. I called ahead and inquired about the fabric samples and was greeted with a friendly and helpful staff member. I recommend ordering the samples before placing your order so you can see and feel the differences in your space with your lighting and furniture.
I called for tech support and got helped again but wouldn’t have had to do that at all if I actually read the details on the website regarding the version requirements for the Alexa motors and the instructions that came with the blinds. I was surprised when my call went to voicemail and then elated to get a call back within less than a minute. I didn’t even leave a message thinking I’d just call back.
I plan to order more as soon as I recover from my initial purchase. These are not an inexpensive luxury but so far they are worth every penny and competitively priced.

We have been installing these automated blinds around our house for a few months now and each has worked very well. We installed the latest one in our living room window - the installation was quick and easy and we were able to integrate it into our SmartThings home automation system and get it on our automation scheduled right away!!
Anthony T.
I'm not one to write reviews but I'm very happy with this company. The have very nice customer service and the blackout shade that I bought works very nicely.
Moha A.
I randomly came across these on YouTube as an affordable option for smart blinds. Rolled the dice and am super happy with the purchase! I’ve only had them a couple of weeks so I will update later but they are fairly quiet, install was straightforward (pro tip- make a pilot hole when installing fasteners), delivered quickly, and Rachelle from customer service went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the product. Highly recommend!
Solomon R.
We love our new SmartSwing windows blinds - we installed 3 blinds to cover the large master bedroom window and love being able to control all three with a single remote in addition to connecting the shades to our SmartThings smart home network!!
Vanessa L.
Great product! Easy to program with Alexa and install.
Lovell C.
Great blinds. Super easy install. Will definitely buy again. The learning curve is about a 4.5 out of 10 to really get acquainted with how the blinds work and setting them up with HomeKit, so not too hard but not 100% super easy either. I had to reset one of my blinds for it to work with HomeKit, figuring out what the problem was took me an additional 10 minutes. But, After you get them up and running, it’s pretty much smooth sailing after that.
Khelsey M.
I love these blinds, great material. Smart design. Easy to install. Versatile. The mechanism works great. I can't love this product enough. The fact that its integrated with alexa/google makes it more appealing. Fast shipping , packages are exceptional. I am pretty happy with the quality of the product, the fit, and how it works. I have been using it now for a few weeks and have no problems to report. It affords complete privacy. I’m very impressed!
Solomon R.
It was very easy to install the blinds and configure to connect to our SmartThings. We are able to control the blinds using both the remote control and our SmartThings home automation platform.

Easy install, very quiet operation. Ver happy

Works great with Home Assistant.
Wish the battery level would show 100% rather than 40% in the software...
Jacob J.
I ordered these to cover our slide glass doors and we were highly satisfied. The customer service in particular has been really good. It is hard to find great customer service these days. I highly recommend these shades, they are very easy to install and work great! see less
Brandon J.
i love them so much!! i bought the apple homekit version, and it works so smoothly with apple homekit. the only issue i have is that the remote that came with the blinds, the spring in the back is messed up so i can’t put batteries in it. not a big deal because i use the homekit accessory to raise and lower the blinds. other than that i would definitely purchase them again!
Ashish P.
Easy install, great customer service

Even though it took a while for delivery (it was coming a ways) it arrived safe and sound. Installation was a breeze and it works phenomenally. We got the simple remote because we only got one blind. It is in a living room where we watch television and the sun sets through the window... the blackout is superb! Well done.
CRAIG C.
I absolutely LOVE these blinds!!! I requested fabric samples before ordering and Smartwings was responsive and sent them very quickly. I was a bit hesitant to order with the limited information and reviews but I'm so glad I did! I did lots of comparison shopping and this was the best deal with the best features. I ordered the blackouts for my living room and a very high, unreachable window in our stairwell. During the ordering process, it's a bit unsettling because the payment site is in Chinese which made me concerned about fraud, but I paid via Pay Pal for extra reassurance and there were no issues. I received a notification that my order was shipping from mainland China about two weeks following placing the order and I said to myself "well, that means they'll be here in another 6-8 weeks." I was pleasantly surprised to be very wrong. They arrived the following week - about 3 weeks total from placement of my order. Coincidently, I ordered other blinds for my home on the very same day from blinds.com and those blinds arrived 3 weeks after the Smartwings. One small surprise after struggling to pair the blinds with Alexa for about half an hour was that they blinds were incompatible with my Echo device. I didn't realize it needed the integrated Zigbee hub so I had to upgrade my Echo to the latest/greatest version. Once I got that taken care of, it was fairly straightforward to pair them and set up the voice routines in Alexa. Now my blinds are open when go downstairs in the morning, which is really nice, and I can close them from the comfort of my sofa whenever I want. Excellent product and I would buy them again for sure!

I bought these shades for my beach house to block out the sun in my family room in 2 windows that reflected on my TV.These were easy to install and great. These look so good, a good price, easy to move up and down, I am very happy with this product.
Bill Hudgins
These blinds are definitely a game changer for my window set-up. It is so, for the versatility of it being able to be used for room darkening and on the flip side open-up to the natural light by the click of a button. The sleek look and the ease of operation makes it worth the investment.

If you are debating on this product, I'd say get it!
We are very happy with the product & overall experience. I was nervous about the color since I could only view on screen, but it's perfect.
The seller is also great to work with & responds super fast. We got our item much faster than anticipated which was perfect.
The customization is absolutely perfect! & doesn't have too much gapping on the sides.
We installed it the "opposite way you should put a toilet paper roll on" lol bc of the way our desk butts up to our window, but you can hang it either way which is nice.
We also needed a small extension cord for charging bc our outlet was a little too far away for the plug, but that isn't anything that faults the product itself bc that will vary with every room. Just a callout if you don't already have a spare extension cord hanging around.
We were also happy that it stops before it rolls all the way up, that was a happy surprise especially if guest are in that room there isn't the risk of damaging the blind.
