Motorized and smart window treatments offer an elevated blend of convenience, automation, and custom style. Below, you’ll find the key benefits, features, and real homeowner experiences that show why more families are choosing 3 Day Blinds for smart home upgrades.

With 3 Day Blinds, you can enjoy truly automated living through our exclusive 3 Day Blinds Smart Hub, which connects your window treatments to your Wi-Fi network for seamless control.

Whether you want to set the mood for movie night, wake up gently with the morning light, or adjust your shades while traveling, motorization makes it possible.

Smart Home Features You’ll Love

Our Smart Hub transforms the way you control light, privacy, and comfort in your home. It also works with most major smart-home ecosystems, allowing you to pair your window treatments with lighting, thermostats, and whole-home automation scenes.

  • Set Scenes – Create the perfect atmosphere for any activity. For example, a “TV Time” scene can lower your shades just enough to reduce glare without blocking all natural light.
  • Set Timers – Automate your daily routine. Program your shades to open gradually in the morning or close in the evening for privacy and energy savings.
  • Control From Anywhere – Whether you’re at home or away, use the app to adjust your blinds and shades instantly. Mimic your normal routine for added peace of mind.
  • Smart Home Integration – Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit (optional) offering hands-free control and automated routines.

Benefits of Motorized Blinds, Shades, Shutters & Drapes

Motorized window treatments bring more than convenience. They also improve safety, comfort, and efficiency:

  • Increased Privacy & Security – Program your shades to open and close at specific times to keep prying eyes out and create the illusion that someone’s always home.
  • Child & Pet Safety – Eliminate hazardous cords for a safer, more family-friendly home.
  • Energy Efficiency – Save on cooling and heating by scheduling shades to close during peak sun hours or open for natural warmth in winter.
  • A Variety of Options – Motorization is available for many of our most popular window treatments, including Cellular Shades, Roller Shades, and select drapery and shutter styles.

"I stumbled across a [3 Day Blinds] offer online, along with an enticing promise of a free consultation. The process began when I reached out and scheduled an appointment. A fantastic salesperson came over, bringing samples and taking meticulous measurements. I was impressed by the product offerings and the overall experience, which convinced me to go with 3 Day Blinds.

For my home, I selected room-darkening honeycomb blinds for the bedrooms, and motorized roll-up shades for the living areas. It's incredibly convenient being able to control the shades with both a remote control and a phone app, I absolutely love the versatility. The installation process was smooth and efficient; a friendly local duo from Livermore managed it seamlessly. They handled the measurements follow-up and installation with ease and friendliness, making the experience quite pleasant."
