Initially showcased at IFA 2024, the SwitchBot Roller Shade is now available for consumers. This innovative device enables easy customization and supports a DIY installation process, making it simpler to add smart features to your windows without professional help. Prices start at $200, varying according to the size, with the largest option priced at $310.
The Roller Shade offers a choice of interchangeable fabrics, allowing users to opt for blackout, full UV shielding, or thermal-insulating materials. Additionally, these shades are fully adjustable and can be trimmed to fit most windows effortlessly. They accommodate window widths ranging from 22.8 inches to 72.8 inches, thanks to a lineup of four models that expand to different lengths.
In addition to its easy DIY setup and adjustable size, SwitchBot integrated several practical features into the Roller Shade for everyday use. These include support for the Matter protocol, a powerful 2,600 mAh battery that can last up to eight months on a single charge, and no requirement for any cables or adapters. You can, however, connect it to an optional solar panel for extended battery performance.
Control of the shade can be accomplished through a built-in wired controller, the SwitchBot Universal Remote, the Hub 2, voice commands, or via a mobile app. The device operates quietly, thanks to its advanced motor that reaches noise levels as low as 30 dB in Silent Mode, making it ideal for bedrooms where peace is desired.
The SwitchBot Roller Shade is currently on sale at the SwitchBot website. Prices range from $200 to $310 based on size. We look forward to getting hands-on experience with these innovative DIY shades in the near future — in the meantime, consider exploring our selection of top smart blinds for other options.
