At Bumble Bee Blinds of Boulder, we help homeowners bring this technology to life through custom motorized blinds and smart shades installation, seamlessly integrating them with systems like Alexa, Google Home, and Control4. The result is a home that looks beautiful, responds intelligently, and adapts to your lifestyle.
Smart Shades That Move With You
Today’s motorized window coverings offer far more than simple convenience. They combine modern design, quiet performance, and intelligent control to enhance comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency.
With just a tap on your phone or a simple voice command, you can raise or lower shades, adjust sunlight during the day, and schedule automatic movements for optimal lighting and temperature balance.
In Boulder’s sunny, high-altitude climate, smart shades can also help manage UV exposure and reduce heat gain, protecting interiors while lowering energy bills.
Voice and App Control: Seamless Smart Home Integration
One of the top advantages of smart shades installation is the ability to control them through your favorite home automation system.
- Amazon Alexa: Control your blinds with voice commands like, “Alexa, close the living room shades.”
- Google Home: Integrate your window coverings into routines that adjust lighting and shades together.
- Control4: For high-end automation setups, Control4 offers full synchronization of lighting, temperature, and window coverings, giving you total home coordination with one touch.
Our team at Bumble Bee Blinds of Boulder can recommend the best integration for your home’s existing setup and ensure your motorized window coverings work seamlessly with your preferred devices.
Hardwired vs. Battery Motorization: Which is Right for You?
When selecting motorized blinds, homeowners often ask about the difference between hardwired and battery-powered systems.
Hardwired Motorization:
- Ideal for new construction or large remodels where electrical access is easy.
- Provides continuous power with no battery maintenance.
- Great for larger homes or windows with frequent use.
Battery Motorization:
- Flexible installation — no need for wiring or wall access.
- Perfect for existing homes or retrofit projects.
- Energy-efficient and easy to recharge.
Both systems deliver quiet operation, precision movement, and integration with smart home controls. During your in-home design consultation, we’ll help determine which option fits your home layout, lifestyle, and budget best.
