I’m out here at CES in the Venetian Hall checking out Smart Wings, and honestly this was one of the cooler smart home upgrades I ran into. If you’ve been thinking about replacing blinds or adding something more “smart” to the house, Smart Wings is doing motorized shades that feel premium and are actually practical day-to-day. Emily from Smart Wings walked me through their lineup, and the big takeaway is simple: one press on the remote and the shades move—no more pulling on blinds and dealing with them getting dirty from constant handling. What really stood out to me was how they handle odd window shapes. They showed an angled shade for those corner-style windows, and you can literally watch it rise and fold cleanly at the top. The remote also surprised me—it feels like a solid TV remote, has favorites (that heart button), and it’s USB-C rechargeable. They also showed a patio/garden shade that drops down with a button, uses a mesh material so you still get airflow, and it’s perfect if you want shade while hosting or even pairing it with a short throw projector for an outdoor movie night. On top of that, Smart Wings supports the smart home stuff people actually use—Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Home, and Samsung SmartThings—plus options like Roman shades, arch window setups, woven wood styles, and blackout levels (60%, 80%, or 100%) depending on how dark you want your room.
