I'm about to embark on an adventure with the new house.... motorized shades.
I looked at Serena shades, but found their help a little too hands off... and the price... well, everyone knows they're expensive.
Then I found Leviosa. It turns out this North Carolina based company offers the same material choices as Serena, has a similar smart controller, but around half the price of Serena shades. And their pre-sales support is absolutely the best I have seen. Very hands on, very helpful, and they even setup a video call to look at my window situation and offer guidance.
I ordered a test shade today and their Leviosa Zone Wi-Fi based controller. This shade will go in the dining room and I'll work on an Indigo plugin for their hardware, which has an open API. If things look good, I'll be ordering more shades.
I'll keep everyone informed on this thread as things progress with this shade.
