Smart shades, without the wiring
Every CBM shade can be motorized. Rechargeable motors install without an electrician, and with a two-way motor the CBM Smart Network Bridge adds app control, scenes, timers and voice control.
- Rechargeable motors install wire-free: no electrician needed
- Remote control, or a simple pull wand with the CR25PW
- App, scenes, timers and Alexa or Google Home voice control with the CBM Smart Network Bridge (two-way motors); Siri runs your app scenes
- Two-way motors report each shade's position, and rechargeable ones their battery level
- No cords or chains within reach: a safer choice for homes with children and pets
