In this video I review the Soma Smart Shades 3. I have been a long time user of their version 1 product so I provide comparisons and a real life review. The Soma Smart Shades 3 is a retro-fit smart blind motor that converts your existing roller blinds to become smart. Allowing connection to your smart home assistant (HomeKit, Alexa, Google and Samsung).

Disclaimer: The units were sent to me for free to keep but no money changed hands and Soma had no influence over the contents of this video.
