About this app

The SHC hub and App has been re-designed to embrace the architecture of a home and provide effortless control of motorized shades. Easily operate or Personalize the daily routine of shades; organising them by room, grouping them by scenes and automating them with timers. Unlock the convenience of smart shade operation, with the Smart Home Collection with Version 3.0 app

The new Smart Home Collection App not only allows you to activate, adjust and automatically position your shades but does so through One Tap on the Shade Tiles. One Tap to close, One Tap to open and One Tap to activate and stop scenes. A double tap stops a shade’s operation, and a single long press opens a dedicated shade control screen giving you access to more customized settings.

White tiles indicate the shade is open or partially open and a shaded tile indicates the shade is closed.

Quickly view the Health Status of all your shades. A summary screen displays the battery levels of all your shades along with signal strength indicators, prompting necessary action to either charge your motors or troubleshoot connections.

Smart Home Collection App lets you create an automation routine, and once setup, autonomously raises and lowers your smart shades at the optimal time, so your home’s climate is always at its best.

The Smart Home Collection app has been designed to make controlling your shades easier than ever with a long list of features and control options!

Ratings and reviews

Even worse now. Bootloop. The app does not fit the screen. The top is cut off so is very difficult to set up/use as all the top buttons - which are critical buttons - only have about a 2mm touch area. Managing settings going forward have the same issue. I found touching perpendicular (finger sideways) to the "button" rather than parallel is the only way to make it work.

Installed the app and learned it is not compatible with my wireless. It needs 2.4Ghz (outdated wifi standard). Was able to add hub, but cannot pair devices. In fact, pairing process broke the pre-configured setting on the remote for that blind. Now down arrow on remote causes blind to go up and vice versa. Have to call Budget Blinds for instructions on how to fix it. BTW, I'm in IT and this app is not intuitive at all! Beware.

Just got the blinds and hub installed yesterday. It did take several attempts to connect to the hub. Tip: The professional said you need to temporarily disable your firewall to pair the app. The app does not fit the screen: the top bar of the three bars is cut off from the image. I can no longer see the Edit button! Pissed!
