Operation of Tiles Simply touch the tile and the shade will move; If the tile is open the shade will close or if the tile is closed it will open. If the shade is not moving in the intended direction, touching the tile again the shade will move in the opposite direction.

A long press on the tiles will allow additional functions or double tapping a tile while it’s moving will stop the shade room or scene. Tiles also include haptic feedback so you know if you have opened or closed the shade. Bi-directional feedback White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a grey tile indicated the tile is closed.

Shade tiles also include health and a red indicator means the battery is below 30% or the signal strength is poor Scenes Timers and Rooms Every screen has been redesigned with a fresh new look including a new way to do everything that is so intuitive you have to try it.

Reviews of SHC Budget Blinds

  • Functional but incorrect time zone

    This works for setting timers, but the time zone is clearly incorrect and I can't figure out how to fix that. Is there some way to change the time zone? Maybe it was set up incorrectly, but the people who installed it did the set up.
  • App is horrible

    The schedule doesn’t take. I’ll sometimes have my blinds open or close randomly throughout the day. Doesn’t always accurately reflect the blind status - will show it’s closed when it’s open all the way or vice Versa. One of the blinds always makes a clicking noise for 10 minutes (drives me crazy) after opening.

    Essentially it seems like they’re doing the bare minimum to make/keep sales but not doing enough to make sure the app works as efficiently as it can for the customer. Maybe you have to pay extra for that since that seems to be the direction we’re going in…
  • Horrible app

    The connection process is absurd. If it doesn’t work, you are left with no options. If you want to reconnect, you can’t. It just doesn’t work
