Thanks for putting this video together! Very informative & great comparison of the various options! Just in time for our new home renovation with existing blind! 🤞🏻
Thank you for the video! I often share with my wife about having a smart home. Your videos have been very useful in convincing her esp with the comparison between the brands out there!
OMG. You read my mind! I was literally researching about Soma Shades 2. Thanks a bunch for demonstrating how it works. New subscriber to your channel here.

Hi Alex! Yet another well thought out informative and straight to the point video! It has definitely helped me as a reference point to design my upcoming new house! Keep it up with the quality videos! :)
Interesting to know there’s a smart solution for normal blinds. Thanks for introducing soma. Almost regret that I did not get smart blinds for my recent replacement. Hope to get a set to try out for my study room.

Thank you Alex! Very informative and helpful as usual. I always get stressed up when I'm giving a lot of choice to choose from and I'm not very smart when it comes to smart things hahahahah. Your video came at a very very right timing as I'm currently planning for my house, it's like I receive a guidance when I'm lost. I like your step by step guide and explanation which I can always refer back to. The part on IKEA blinds, I will probably overlook about the gap if it wasn't for your video. Just wanna say that I appreciate your time and hardwork in sharing with us your knowledge. Thank you!!!! :')

yeah i think the gap from ikea blinds will be easily overlooked because you see so many other normal blinds being placed side by side with each other haa, but if your window has a thick frame inbetween then its fine
Very informative and absolutely useful for me when the new house comes along. Thanks, Alex! :)
Yes! Would love to get my hands on the Soma smart shades 2 ! Shades are installed and ready for the upgrade! 🍻 cheers Karen
This would help greatly in my home automation quest. Great video!
Was reasearching for some smart blinds. This video came at the best time. The soma smart blinds may be the best for me as i already have a existing blinds.

Looks like an interesting solution! Your videos are always useful for my new house 👍🏻👍🏻
One of the most advantage of our curtains is that we are selling patented curtain in kit with spliced track, your end customers can DIY the length of track from 2.2 meters to 8.2 meters, it is very convenient for distributor and store/online seller to sell it, and also standard package make shipping and stock more easier.
You vid made me think about Smart Home system for my retirement home. Kudos! I especially like the sound comparison part...useful.

Thanks Alex. I always find your unbiased reviews and actual home owner's experience helpful as I am doing renovation for my new place.
