Find your solution

If Alexa already turns off your lights and reads you the weather, your shades should answer to her too. How a shade reaches Alexa is decided by the chip inside the motor when you order. Get it right and you can close the bedroom shades by voice from bed or fold them into a morning routine. Every shade on this page can be ordered with a motor that works with Alexa, made to the size you measure and shipped direct.

Which shades and blinds work with Alexa

Alexa control is available on our roller, roman, zebra, solar and woven wood shades, so you choose by room. Blackout roller and blackout roman shades darken a bedroom on a voice command or a routine. Light filtering roller and roman shades soften daylight in a living room or kitchen. Zebra shades slide sheer and solid bands past each other, and the motor carries a tilt angle setting so the bands sit where you set them. Solar shades cut glare on a sunny wall while you keep the view. Woven wood shades bring bamboo, jute and grass texture, and our woven wood spec lists smart control that works with Alexa, Google Home and Apple HomePod.

A styling tip for open-plan rooms: put the shades that share a wall in one Alexa group so they move together, and keep the same fabric across that group so the windows look matched at every height.

Which motor to choose for Alexa

There are three ways in. The Zigbee motor has a built-in Zigbee chip that connects directly, with no hub, to five specific Echo devices: Echo Plus (2nd Gen), Echo Studio, Echo Show 10 (3rd Gen), Echo Show (2nd Gen) and Echo Show (4th Gen). If your Echo is on that list, the Zigbee motor is the simplest route. Any other Alexa device, an Echo Dot included, still needs a hub, so a Zigbee motor on its own will not pair with it.

The Matter motor connects directly to Apple HomePod and HomeKit, and also reaches Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. It is the right choice in a mixed household where one person talks to Alexa and another uses an iPhone. The standard RF433 battery motor and the plug-in motor reach Alexa through an RF hub, which brings in Google Home as well.

Each motor stores six stopping points: an upper limit, a lower limit and four positions in between, so a favorite halfway setting can be saved rather than guessed. The motor has to fit inside the tube, so a motorized roller shade needs more width than a manual one: at least 20 1/8 inches on our squared cassette, 20 1/2 inches on the large cassette and 21 1/4 inches on the open roll. Motorized woven wood is made up to 96 inches wide and 118 inches high, with a 25 1/4 inch minimum width on the lithium motor.

Pairing, measuring and installing it yourself

Battery motors charge on a 5 volt, 1 amp charger in about four hours, with a red light while charging and green when full. If you set up through the Tuya app with a Zigbee gateway, put the gateway on a 2.4 GHz network, then put the motor in pairing mode by short-pressing its button five times and holding the fifth press for three seconds until the green light flashes.

For an inside mount, measure the width at the top, middle and bottom and use the smallest, rounded down to the nearest 1/8 inch, then measure the height on both sides and use the smaller figure. Roller, roman and zebra shades hang on a cassette bracket: drill with a 0.2 inch (6 mm) bit, pick the anchor in the box that suits your wall, and fix each bracket through two holes on opposite sides. Hook the valance onto the latch, press until it clicks and check that the top and rear have both locked. Set the upper and lower limits once the shade is in place, since each can be fine-tuned only once.

Check which Echo you own before you choose the motor, order samples, measure, and let Alexa handle the shades.

How do I measure for my shades?

Choose an inside or outside mount first, then follow our shade measuring guide. Measure each window individually before entering your width and height on the product page.

Should I choose light filtering or blackout?

Light filtering fabric softens daylight. Blackout fabric blocks light through the fabric itself, while light can still enter around the edges. Your mount and any side tracks affect the final result. Solar and unlined woven fabrics have different privacy characteristics, so check the product details.

Can I add a motor?

Open the product configurator to see the controls and motor options offered for that shade. Motor and smart-home compatibility vary by product and the motor you select.
