You Have Choices

We think motorized shades are one of the best and most useful smart home solutions, especially here in Las Vegas. With our sunny and warm desert climate, the power of motorization is a boon for easily controlling glare, heat gain, and potential UV damage from the Nevada sun to home interiors. Did you know that they can be installed without wires too? Powered shades can be almost as simple to install as manual ones. Less so, in a way, when you consider there are no pulls or string mechanisms to attach!

While wireless shades can be installed in many cases, there are some situations where a wired is the better approach, and you should know the pros and cons of each. Let's explore them in more detail below.
