Avoid at all costs! Basically the blind units are very loud, crack, get worn out, lose their position, break your chains, etc.

I returned them and they claim I sent them a box of random clothes and blankets. Wild

reply to the company's comment: yeah i sent back the units, but you are scamming me. you sent me a pic of a box i did not send, you even put tape over the label to make it seem legit - i did not do that. company is scamming me

Hi William, we are very sorry that the devices did not work out for your setup and are happy to process a return for you according to our return policy, which requires that customers return all components in their original condition and packaging. However, we have evidence and confirmation from our warehouse that the returned package we received does not contain any RYSE products. As a result, we are unable to process a refund.

It works

It works! I honestly didn't think it would, but set up easily and then connected my phone. All good.

Expensive, but works.

For an expensive product, it’s shipped directly from China. Expect a good week for delivery.

Product itself works as expected, however not very fast at moving the blinds up and down, even at 100% speed. Device is also a bit bulky, if your blinds are within the window frame, the blinds crash into the device.

Smart Bridge not very smart. Won’t recognise devices as “online” if you have a large house with multiple wifi points (mesh system) - as it thinks it’s on a different wifi network.

Not really worth the money.

These curtains are a no brainer

These curtains are a no brainer! They came well packaged and assembled! I scanned the QR code, followed the VERY detailed and in depth instructions and my curtain was ready to go in under 2 minutes! It comes with everything you need (including batteries!!). The app even had a functionality demo video which went over every thing about the device. I’m throughly impressed!

Better than an alarm clock!

Very simple to install! Was easy to customize the sun shade I already had since my windows aren't too tall. Battery lasts a reasonable time and I love being able to integrate a ryse bridge with Alexa. Helps me wake up easier in the morning.

Smart Curtains Working in 10 min

I installed two sets of Ryse Smart Curtains and the setup was incredibly smooth. Since I already had the hubs and compatible smart shades, everything integrated seamlessly. It took about 10 minutes to get all four devices (across two windows) fully operational, including syncing with Google Assistant and configuring scheduled routines. Quick, efficient, and hassle-free.

I love that I can open my curtains from my bed. The setup was simple, and the app works great. It’s a game changer for lazy mornings!

SmartCurtains = Best Purchase EVER

Just tried their newest SmartCurtain device, and I am happily surprised. I was skeptical of the quality (and honestly if I even needed this), but this has seriously changed my entire morning routine...I have blackout curtains, and it's really hard for me to wake up in the morning, but now my curtains wake me up with sunlight! I also love how it hides behind my curtains, so it doesn't compromise my aesthetic/ decor. I honestly will recommend to all my friends plus buy more!

I can't say enough great things about…

I can't say enough great things about the Hello RYSE Smart Shades! As a renter, finding smart home upgrades that don’t require drilling or replacing existing fixtures can be tough. But RYSE made it effortless to convert my existing roller shades into fully automated smart shades that work seamlessly with Apple HomeKit.

Installation was a breeze—no need for complex wiring or permanent modifications, which is perfect for renters like me. Within minutes, I had my shades connected and operating through my phone and voice commands. The ability to schedule them to open and close throughout the day has been a total game-changer for comfort and convenience.

Beyond functionality, the sleek design blends seamlessly with my apartment decor, and the performance has been flawless. If you're looking for a smart home upgrade that won't compromise your lease, this is the perfect solution. Highly recommend!

Although it seems to be a good product

Although it seems to be a good product, the specs should mention that it only works for quit light roller blades system - I installed the Ryze on sun block roller 95” wide and 98” long and it could not function : the mechanic was not strong enough to pull the chain and the whole system was jumping out of the cradle anyway due to the weight to pull . Again this should be mention - Be aware before buying

Love the Ryse SmartShade!

The Ryse SmartShade was very easy to install. The motor appears to be very strong and quiet. The app works great to raise and lower the shade. I did realize the Smartbridge is going to be needed to automate the shade with schedules and to use the home assistants like Alexa, Google or Homekit. But to just use the shade you can raise and lower it with the Ryse app via bluetooth connection or just touching the front of the Ryse SmartShade module. I am going to purchase the Smartbridge for the scheduling features and Alexa integration convenience. The battery isn’t needed if you have a nearby electrical outlet to plug in the included power cord that could be discreetly hidden and even painted over with the wall color like I did but if not, the battery would be a nice option. Overall I’m really enjoying this SmartShade unit and it’s a great addition to my other smarthome features such as smart wall switches, plugin on/off modules and dimmers for lamps and appliances.

Ordered 2 months ago and haven’t received my order. Was told 4 weeks ago that it would be here in 5/6 days. When I track order says it hasn’t even left yet. Very poor communication. Be careful ordering from these guys. €600 order and nothing arrived. Bit worried now this is a scam.
