Ensuring the Continuous Comfort and Convenience of Smart Shades

One of the most convenient smart technologies ever invented is automatic blinds. While once a luxury, motorized shades have become increasingly popular and accessible. With the touch of a button or voice command, you can raise or lower one or every window covering in your home. 

When integrated with sensors, they automatically adjust based on the amount of sunlight or the time of day. Wake to filtered sunlight peering in the windows. Go to sleep knowing your shades will close for complete privacy.

But what happens when they stop working?  

At Bob’s Smart Home, we offer world-class service, ongoing maintenance, and support to resolve any issues quickly. In many cases, remote system management enables the identification and resolution of potential problems before they become apparent.
