Smart Shades Recommendation

[tmc1284]

I am looking for a recommendation for Smart Shades.

I am going to be renting my home out as a Vacation Rental often and will need to be able to remotely control them when I am not home. I have a SmartThings Hub, Nest Thermostat and Android Phone. I would not be opposed to purchasing a Bridge that is designed for the Smart Shades if needed.

I will be living in the home for at least half of the year so would like to be able to set up Schedules for when they open and close. Then remotely disable/enable the Schedules from my phone so that the schedules would be disabled when the home is being rented and I could enable them while it is vacant while I am travelling so the plants in my home would receive light.

I am just starting to look into Smart Shades and would assume that all of them can be manually opened/closed often which my guests would of course need to be able to do.

I wouldn't set up any home automation for a rental. Unless you go with commercial duty products, you're asking for a never ending stream of problems.

I am looking for the same thing right now. The only ones that I can find are the Hunter Douglas brand. The app gets kind of mixed reviews, but you never know if that is the app or of it is just the general public that don't know how to use things like this.
