Where It Fits In Peoria
Where Automation Helps Most In Peoria
Some windows are hard to reach, and some are simply easier to manage on a schedule, whether they're in a downtown loft or a two story home on the north side.
- Out Of Reach WindowsStairwells, two story great rooms, transoms over an entry door. A hardwired motor or a solar panel charger gives you control where reach is the problem.
- Downtown LoftsA loft with a long wall of windows runs best on one button, so every shade moves to the same position at the same time.
- Winter SchedulesSet your Honeycomb Shades to close at sunset through the winter and open again at sunrise, so they're working for you through the long, cold nights.
- SkylightsMotorized Honeycomb Shades with a solar panel close off a skylight without a ladder or any wiring through the ceiling.
Push Button Control
One App For Every Window And The Patio
Shades, blinds, shutters, drapery and the Exterior Patio Shades out back can all be motorized, and every one of them can run from the same app. You can control them with a Solar Shield Blinds remote, a wall switch that needs no wiring, the app on your phone or tablet, or just your voice with Alexa, Google or Siri.
Most of our motors have internal batteries and need no wiring, so they install in an existing Peoria home just like a manual shade. Plan on charging them every 6 to 9 months, which takes 4 to 6 hours, or add a solar panel on a window that faces east, west or south. If you're building a new home, hardwired motors in low voltage or 110 volt can be planned into the construction.
If you already have a whole home system, our products can tie into it through a smart hub we provide, and many connect directly with our Solar Shield Blinds USB Bridge. We take care of the programming and set up your schedules and scenes before we leave. Your Design Specialist will go over every option at your free consultation, and if automation isn't right for a particular window, they'll say so.

Straight Answers
Automation questions from Peoria homeowners
No. The motors in most of our products run on internal batteries, so there's nothing to run through the walls and the shade goes up just like a manual one. If you'd like, a solar panel can do the charging for you.
Yes. The app lets you schedule your shades from sunrise to sunset or at set times of the day, and you have full control while you're away from home. You can also build a scene that sets the whole house with one tap.
Yes, if the window faces east, west or south and has a clear view of the sun. Window film reduces how well a panel charges, and the panel is visible from outside, so your Design Specialist will check each window at your consultation.
Yes. A single remote runs up to 15 shades, or as many as 30 when you add a bridge. One push moves every shade in an open living space, and each shade stops at the position you set, so they line up across the windows.
Yes. Many of our products connect straight to Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, SmartThings, Control4 and Crestron through our USB Bridge, and a whole home system ties in through a smart hub we provide. Before anything is ordered, we'll check that it works with your system.
Yes. A motorized shade or blind has no cord or chain at the window at all, so there's nothing for a child or a pet to reach. Motorized is one of our child safe operating systems, along with Cordless and PowerWand, and the remote or the app does the work.
