"GE Lighting is launching smart shades at CES that come in at a pretty reasonable (for motorized shades, at least) $299.99. They're not the cheapest smart shades out there. SwitchBots start at just $199, but they're still quite a bit more affordable than Lutron's, which start at $399. They should look pretty sleek, too, since they hide all their mounting hardware."
"The new GE shades come in white or gray with silver trim and offer either light filtering or full blackout options. If you're worried about integrating them into your current smart home setup, they support Matter, so compatibility shouldn't be too much of an issue if you've got a modern smart home hub. But if you've got older gear you can't be bothered to upgrade, don't worry, GE includes a remote in the box."
GE Lighting is launching motorized smart shades priced at $299.99. The shades are less expensive than Lutron models and somewhat costlier than SwitchBot options, which start at $199. The shades hide their mounting hardware for a sleek appearance and are available in white or gray with silver trim. Two fabric choices are offered: light-filtering and full blackout. The shades support Matter for integration with modern smart home hubs. A handheld remote is included for users with older smart home gear that lacks Matter compatibility. The product balances affordability with modern smart home compatibility. Remote control provides immediate functionality out of the box.
