OmniSmart Connected Zebra Shades
Precision Band Alignment
OmniSmart motors deliver 1‑degree incremental band positioning, giving you exceptionally fine control over light and privacy. Program presets for different times of day—fully aligned (≈80% light) for morning brightness, partially staggered (≈50% light) for afternoon glare control, fully staggered (95%+ light block) for evening privacy. The motor stores your preferences and can activate them by schedule, sunrise/sunset, or voice command.
Battery or Hardwired
Battery motors are ideal for retrofits. The battery pack is concealed inside the headrail, and a single charge lasts 3–5 years with typical use (about two cycles per day). Rechargeable lithium‑ion packs are included, and low‑battery alerts appear in the app. Hardwired motors connect to low‑voltage transformers—plug‑in or in‑wall—and provide unlimited runtime with zero maintenance. They’re recommended for new construction or shades that will be operated frequently.
Works with All Major Platforms
OmniSmart motors natively support multiple ecosystems:
-
Wi‑Fi — Direct connection to your home network, no hub required; control via our app (iOS/Android) or voice assistants
-
Zigbee 3.0 — Compatible with Amazon Echo Plus, Samsung SmartThings, Hubitat
-
Z‑Wave Plus — Works with Ring, Wink, Vera
-
Proprietary RF — For standalone remote control without network dependency
Integration modules are also available for Control4, Crestron, Savant, and Lutron.
Sunrise/Sunset Automation
Using your home’s GPS coordinates, the app can automatically align bands at sunrise and stagger them at sunset. This enhances comfort and improves energy efficiency—staggered bands during hot summer afternoons reduce cooling load. A built‑in vacation mode can randomize band alignment and lift positions to help deter intruders when you’re away.
Scene Creation
Coordinate multiple shades and smart devices with customizable scenes:
-
“Morning” — Align bands, raise to 50%
-
“Movie Time” — Stagger bands, fully lower, dim lights
-
“Away” — Randomize band alignment and lift positions
Scenes can be triggered by voice, app, schedule, or sensors (e.g., stagger bands automatically when the room temperature exceeds 78°F).
Quiet Operation
OmniSmart motors are engineered for acoustic comfort, operating below 35 dBA at 3 feet—quieter than a library. The intentionally slow motor speed eliminates abrupt movement and ensures smooth, graceful transitions.
Retrofit Kits Available
Already own manual zebra shades? Upgrade them with our retrofit motor kit, which includes a motor, battery pack, and remote. Installation takes about 20 minutes with basic tools and is compatible with most zebra‑shade headrails.
