Smart Blind Controllers

Select Blinds' Smart Wifi Controller Remotely Controls Blinds in the Home

— July 12, 2024 — Art & Design
The Neo Connect Smart WiFi Controller from Select Blinds is designed to enhance the functionality of motorized window coverings. This device allows users to control their blinds through the Neo app or via voice commands using Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Siri. It supports the organization of blinds by room and enables scheduling for automatic operation at specific times or based on sunrise and sunset. The controller is compatible with Select Blinds’ motorized window coverings, excluding certain designer shades. It operates on a 2.4GHz WiFi network and requires a smartphone or tablet running Android 5.0 or iOS 8 or higher for setup and operation.

The Neo Connect Smart WiFi Controller is priced at $199.99, reflecting a discount from its original price of $299.97. It is available for purchase directly from the Select Blinds Canada website, with free shipping included. The product is recommended for use in homes with up to 2,000 square feet per controller, and additional units may be necessary for larger spaces or multi-story homes. The controller is intended for indoor use only and requires a remote control for initial programming.
