Smart shade systems are the umbrella product for fully integrated motorized window treatments. The shades, motors, hub, app, and ecosystem support all come from a single platform — typically Lutron, Hunter Douglas PowerView, Somfy, or Crestron — designed to work together cleanly. Penn Shades installs and configures complete smart shade systems for Pittsburgh-area homes.
Signs You Need Smart Shade Systems
You want motorized shades and you want the whole experience to feel integrated — one app for all shades, scene support, and reliable performance. You've tried piecemeal motorized solutions (some shades on one app, others on another) and want a unified platform. You're building or renovating and have a chance to spec a single smart-shade platform across the whole house. You want the platform to grow with you — add shades to additional rooms later without re-architecting.
Smart shade systems cost more than mix-and-match motorized solutions, but they give a far better long-term experience. We help you pick a platform during the consultation based on your goals and budget.
Our Smart Shade Systems Options
We install three primary smart shade platforms. Lutron is the residential premium standard — works with most fabric and material lines, integrates with Lutron Caseta lighting, and supports Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Home, and Control4. Hunter Douglas PowerView is the manufacturer-specific platform — best when you're committing to Hunter Douglas shade product lines across the whole home. Somfy is the most flexible — works with the broadest range of shade products and integrates with virtually every major smart-home platform.
All three support battery-powered motors (easier retrofit, no wiring) and hardwired motors (best for new construction, no battery management). All three support scenes, schedules, and group control.
Smart Shade Systems for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Smart shade systems are most often specified in new construction (Sewickley Heights, Fox Chapel, Cranberry, Wexford) and major renovations of older homes (Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, Mt. Lebanon) where the smart-home setup is being designed all at once. Downtown high-rise condos and apartments (Mt. Washington, Strip District, North Shore) increasingly spec smart shades from move-in.
We install across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry Township, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding western Pennsylvania communities.
