smart shades are a really cool feature to add to any smart home the problem is once you start getting a look at the market you realize just how expensive they can be for these Lutron serena shades for instance you'll have to pay at least 350 bucks to get one shade so that means that right now while outfitting your whole home with smart shades seems like it would be really cool it would actually set you back thousands of dollars that said these shades perform pretty well and could be really nice for some vaulted windows or if you have a small apartment or a single room that you want to outfit with shades the cool thing about these shades in particular is that they're homekit compatible that means that you get Siri voice control as well as integration with other homekit compatible devices and even some devices that aren't overall I really liked working with these shades they're quiet they're unobtrusive app control is really intuitive and setting them up actually is really easy you only start to run into some performance hiccups when you start trying out some of the features like geofencing or a series control but even the problems with those two features were really minimal when taking into account the overall success of the product
