About the Company

RYSE

Markets DIY motorized window shade controller

RYSE makes SmartShade, a device that adds motorized control to existing window shades. The system enables users to raise or lower shades via a mobile app or voice assistants (Alexa, Google Home, Siri HomeKit) and to schedule automatisms for daily routines. The hardware installs DIY and wire-free, using a battery pack so no wiring is required. RYSE sells directly to consumers through online channels and focuses on tech-savvy homeowners and renters who want convenient home automation without replacing their existing shades. The company differentiates itself by offering an easy-to-install, battery-powered motor that works with existing shades and integrates with popular voice assistants, avoiding complex professional installation. The goal is to make existing blinds and shades smart and controllable as part of a broader home automation setup.
