Elevate Your Living Space

It is the perfect blend of technology and design. Tailored to effortlessly merge with your existing interiors.

Problems with Ordinary Shades and Blinds

Sunshine brings in light and heat. Serving as a bridge between our living space and nature, window treatments play a pivotal role. Adjusting shades might seem trivial, but when you’re dealing with multiple blinds, and each takes ages to pull up, it becomes a chore! Think of the inconvenience of reaching inaccessible blinds, the safety concerns with children or pets playing with blind cords, or the energy wasted cooling sun-heated rooms. And, let’s be honest – we all have those moments when we just want to be lazy.

Time spent on opening and closing five shades twice a day in ten years: 

10 x 5 x 2 x 365 x 10 = 6000 Minutes = 100 Hours = 4.2 Days!

When exploring automation solutions, you might encounter recommendations to replace your old shades with pricey new motorized ones. But why discard the existing ones when they’re still perfectly functional?

That’s where we began seeking a better way. And so, our story started…

Meet – Arpobot Smart Shade 

It is SMART!

Begin mornings with shades rising in tandem with your alarm, creating an invigorating start. When it’s movie time in the evening, a simple command like “theatre mode” to your smart speaker sets the perfect ambiance. And as the sun blazes during the day? Your shades intuitively adjust their height, optimising room temperature and comfort.

Make life easier by setting groups!

Our product is built on Thread and will support Matter in the future. This ensures an effortless connection with all your other Matter devices. Connect it to Apple HomeKit, Google Home or Amazon Alexa with no extra app installed or extra hub purchased from us.

Perfect Solution for Diverse Window Styles!

We cherish the elegant simplicity and the comfort of our living spaces. This has guided our mission to design technology that blends seamlessly with your interior style.

Hassle-Free DIY Installation

Skip the added expenses and inconvenience of professional installations. There’s no need for precarious ladder balancing acts or those last-minute runs to the hardware store for overlooked parts. You only need to:

• Loop the chain
• Pair the device
• Set limits

*To install the wall mount, screws and adhesive will be provided.

Wire-free: Swappable Battery

Not every window happens to have a power socket nearby, and even if it did, a trail of cables can ruin your room’s look. It made us realise: going wire-free isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. However, built-in batteries come with their own pitfalls – limited lifespan and the cumbersome task of charging, especially when you’re dealing with multiple devices. Thus, we dared to innovate.

• Compact yet powerful: it easily fits into your pocket with a capacity of 4000mAh.
• Swap for tomorrow: quick replacements when power runs low. Plus, it’s tailored for compatibility with our future products.
• Beyond the shade: This battery isn’t just for your shades; it doubles up as a portable charger.

There’s a Type-C port at the bottom end of the battery that can be utilized for consistent power charging, for those who have a power socket nearby.
