SmartLink

Episode 1 of Turning My Home Into a Smart Home I'm transforming my home into a smart home with SmartWings' matter enabled custom motorized blinds and shades. I'll show you a "lazy" DIY install hack that works. How I enjoy effortless control through a remote, mobile app, or voice commands. Seamlessly compatible with HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, and more, these innovative shades offer convenience and style, making your living space smarter and more comfortable Purchase links: My Specs are below Roller Shades: bit.ly/49wI2hk Smart Link: bit.ly/49htWSh I’ve wanted to upgrade my blinds for a while, as I hate the look of renter builder grade plastic vertical blinds. I’m so grateful to have found an affordable option that actually works. I actually show how to remove your vertical blinds as an added bonus.

If you don't have a Matter Controller (like my Echo Show 8 2nd Gen), you will need the SmartLink from Smartwings. - App: Pair to the SmartLife App first; the names will automatically sync to Alexa Disclaimer: In this video, I used one screw per bracket for my inside mount. Please follow the official Smartwings installation guide (which calls for two). If you choose to follow my "lazy" method, proceed at your own risk! 🤣 –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Music: Hey by Next Route https://nextroutemusic.gumroad.com/ Free Download / Stream: https://audiolibrary.com.co/next-rout...
