I want to install smart blinds on 4 windows, from small (2’x3’) to kind of large (4’x5’).

I need them blinds to be local-only and integrate into Home Assistant.

I’m looking at SmartWings, but blinds with a z-wave motor for one of my large windows would cost Just under $400. That seems a bit expensive to me (especially considerin that I got my current non-motorized, non-smart blinds for those windows for like $50 each - and they’re good blinds!). Is that just what smart blinds are going to cost? Or did I land on an expense option?

Do you have a preferred make or model of local-only smart blinds?

    I am using IKEA blinds. They have their disadvantages, but they’re zigbee and work well enough. I cut them to fit, which was a simple job but requires attention to detail and tools which I didn’t have; nevertheless they look good from across the room.

    Stateside, I’ve heard good things about Lutron but they’re pricy.
