No Replacement Needed — Just Retrofit and Go

Forget the hassle of replacing your current window shades. The Revolve is engineered to work with roller shades that have an inner tube diameter between 1" to 1 7/8", allowing you to upgrade what you already have. It includes 13 adapters, ensuring wide compatibility across shade brands and models, and supports tube lengths of 22" or more.

Complete Control at Your Fingertips — Or Hands-Free

The Revolve isn’t just smart — it’s versatile:

  • Voice Control: Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit via Matter integration.
  • App Control: Adjust shades from anywhere with your smart device.
  • Remote Control: A dedicated wireless remote with a 100 ft range is included for effortless control, even if you’re not using a smart hub.

Smart Scheduling & Automation

Customize your environment with programmable routines. Set your shades to open with the sunrise or close for privacy at sunset. With memory positions and group control, you can create scenes that fit your lifestyle and improve energy efficiency.

Long-Lasting Power — With a Solar Boost

The rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers the motor for 4–6 months on a single USB-C charge. For even more convenience, the included 20" solar panel (mountable with brackets or 3M adhesive) offers a sustainable, self-charging solution for well-lit areas.

Performance that Speaks Volumes (Silently)

Despite packing 33% more torque than standard models and lifting shades up to 20 lbs, the motor operates at a whisper-quiet ≤32 dBA. Choose from three speed options (20/24/28 RPM) for precise shade movement tailored to your preferences.

A Sleek, Light-Gap-Free Design

A standout feature is the 6mm ultra-slim motor head, which minimizes light gaps for a clean, modern appearance — ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, or any space where aesthetics and function matter.

What’s in the Box?

  • Motorized shade kit (for 1"–1 7/8" roller tubes)
  • Wireless remote control (100 ft range)
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion battery (2500mAh)
  • USB-C charging cable
  • Solar panel + mounting accessories
  • 13 tube adapters
  • End plug

Support and Reliability

The Revolve Smart Shade Retrofit Kit comes backed with a 2-year warranty and an extensive FAQ and troubleshooting guide to help with setup, smart home pairing, battery checks, and resets. Replacement parts are also easily available through authorized retailers or the product website.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re upgrading a single window or your entire home, the Revolve Motorized Roller Shade Retrofit Kit is a smart investment. It’s an all-in-one solution that combines power, efficiency, and ease of use, setting a new standard for DIY smart shade automation.
