I Didn't Know These Existed!!! DIY Rechargeable Smart Roller Shades... No Wiring Needed.

[@Lego70001]

if it is latex paint, professional strength goof off will take the dried paint right off. If it is oil based, you'll have to use acetone. Just apply with a sponge brush or cloth, let it sit for a minute and wipe off. Some residual may need to be cleaned off with warm water and vinegar. 20+ years -retired painter who gave up the brush to pick up a wrench. (i work on cars now)

[@mandimusic5109]

Acetone - there's a reason it's called the Universal Solvent! Gently warming old latex is a great first step tip though, it can be crazy effective. But for real, I always have a big vat of acetone around.

[@broncoramfan]

I've used goof off n a plastic razor blade. I'm not a pro, just a diy guy... the shades look amazing. A great pick for the look n vibe of the house

[@ModernBuilds]

YES I LOVE TECHNOLOGY!!!!! Thanks for watching, I really had no idea these rechargeable smart roller shades existed, but this is a HUGE upgrade for the income property! The full, finished house tour will be out in December! Thanks Smartwings and thanks for watching!

[@cldeez-h3v]

You need One remote control for One SmartShade ?

[@ModernBuilds]

@@cldeez-h3v I got one 15-channel remote that can control the whole house. That's all I technically needed. I also used a 5 channel remote in each bedroom so that they can be mounted onto the wall next to the light switch in each bedroom.

[@clsmokes]

Paint thinner for oil based, acetone for latex.

[@n3tadm1n]

This is the way

[@ModernBuilds]

I knew it would be simple, I just didn't want to do any damage! thanks a million!! I'll try that today :)

[@matthewjaramillo743]

I use a heat gun to get rid of paint. I like this option vs. buying more chemicals.

[@eglontinak7527]

You should invest in European external shutters. When we close them is dark like you can see anything

[@Dietrichard]

As usual, can't miss. Thanks Mike.

[@cdbfarm65]

Very nice. love the technology. Thanks for sharing handsome!

[@gf8958-p7p]

Love these shades.

[@mikemoab]

Nice. Love the look.

[@talesfromthebottle6314]

Wireless rechargeable blinds is pretty cool. I remember installing electric blinds in my dads place 15-20 years ago was cool but cost a fortune and just like these even with those plastic strips light is still getting in

[@andrewadams9686]

I got a set of these for the bedroom and I love these shade! You can get them with z-wave, or zigbee, or wifi only. whatever works for your smart home

[@MBMCincy63]

Yay, you are back! I look forward to your videos! These sound really neat to use!

[@TheDarkPreacher65]

For those who are considering getting smart roller shades but don't wanna have to run electrical or mess around with recharging them, there are smart roller shades that come with a tiny solar panel that attaches with adhesive to the glass of the window. There are also devices that can control your blinds by turning the adjustment rod, and can also be solar powered. And if a device like these works with Alexa, HomeKit, or Google Home, you can probably get it to work with Home Assistant, so you can do some really complex or even stupidly simple home automation, but either way, it can end up looking 1-800-SUPERPRO if you do it right.

[@lynns.fischer7026]

Thank you so much for this one. Very informative

[@TheStabbedGaiusJuliusCaesar]

Love this concept, but sadly I'm very light sensitive when I sleep. And even with those light blockers on the side, I could see enough light coming through for this to not be a better option than my regular curtains. 😅

[@retina6288]

Get a can of Dirtex. They have it at Sherwin Williams and it's amazing at getting paint cleaned up without damaging anything.

[@matthewchance8835]

Those are cool shades

[@ScottBuckets]

Wow. I love these shades. Didn’t know wireless existed. 👍

[@ModernBuilds]

When they emailed me I was shook!! "welcome to the future" 😂

[@DucNguyen-bd5ir]

I love the series but this has to be longest flip ever.

[@ModernBuilds]

I know!!! All the wrap up content Is being released this month!! Can't wait to share :)

[@ryandavis7390]

This is a nice find. Reminds me a lot of the ikea fyrtur line which came with rechargeable batteries and a zigbee radio that let you hook up to a smart home but I think ikea discontinued them for some reason. These however seem to have a lot more customizations which is nice but they are out of their minds with the different “motor types”. I can guarantee there is technically no difference between a “matter motor” and a “zigbee motor” other than the radio and protocol yet there’s almost a $100 difference!? That’s nuts. Otherwise cool product.

[@Suzieq5446]

Looking forward to the big reveal.

[@LAbeauty316]

to preface, all my knowledge about how houses are built comes from watching youtube videos, so i'm not exactly the most educated on this, BUT i know that windows are supposed to have frames around them and i believe they also have headers. knowing this, how would it be possible for there to be no wood to drill into? is it just incorrectly built, or am i misunderstanding how windows are built? anyone please feel free to chime in and correct me if i'm wrong about anything!

[@sunshine242-l4y]

To preface, all my knowledge about how houses are built comes from watching KZbin videos and owning a house, so I too am not as educated as others as well. But if I were to guess, those 2x6 headers may have some insulation sandwiched between them and may account for the absence of wood when screwing in certain areas

[@Legacii]

Maybe previously drilled holes?

[@volksbugly]

Try acetone on the paint Just make sure you fully clean it off.

[@ModernBuilds]

Will do!!! Thanks for the tip :)

[@baghdadbaghdadia7026]

😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤ love your work. 👏👏👏👏

[@VFRExplorer]

Mike, I'm in OKC, working on remodeling a 1948 house. In one of your past episodes, you worked with an electrician Andy. I could not find any of his contact info. Do you have his company name or any way I could find him? Thanks!

[@dice7drop]

IDK if this is the "right way" but I just finished painting a room and used a plastic putty knife to remove the old paint on the window seal.

[@thezfunk]

Ikea has had this for awhile now.

[@RogerSmth]

How loud are the blinds? Any way we could get a short that's just the sound of them operating?

[@ModernBuilds]

They're not "silent" but they are very quiet. I'll upload one today or tomorrow, that's a great idea!!

[@joshpayne4015]

Aaah, a sponsored video.

[@Aye_ohhh]

I've had these for about a year. They are not the best quality. They are not completely even/parallel. They tend to shift to one side (even with the troubleshooting method of adding tape to one side of the roller). After a while, the fabric will rub against the edge and tear. Good thing customer service is good. They sent me new fabric, but I had to change it out myself.

[@JQin931]

$200 each pass

[@tbabajan]

Well there should be a header over every window so I mean, be pretty poopie if you didn’t hit wood!

[@lovly2cu725]

YUp may have options to be hard wired or solar or battery

[@mattfrazier3115]

Mike always puts such a hard “L” when he says “caulk”. 😂

[@mytrung]

Is there a breakdown with how many windows you have vs the cost? EDIT// 12 Windows ~$3500 w/o motors but add ~$1200 for motors

[@MU1RD3R]

Please do some trime on the windows, looks horrible without.

Comment from France : thank you (for the people who don’t speak English) for AI translation but the French lady voice is the same as the slam ads. You must try the AI software who translate but with you voice. (Like the Mr beast channels for exemple)

GooGone FTW

[@ModernBuilds]

really!?!!? I'll give it a shot!

[@b1walker]

Was worried that you might be 😵

[@Manuel_Rush]

Look, your idea was beautiful. But these tricks are only good for the administration. Not residential houses. I didn't like it. It's like I entered the office.😕

Сколько стоит это чудо как мак бук?

[@MrGwwhite]

This is the longest fffllllliiippp I have ever witnessed and renters are going to trash those blinds immediately.

[@justahunk]

"Honey! Can you take out the trash?" "Sorry, babe. I'm recharging the blinds right now." "did you accept the new Terms of service for the blinds.?" "No, the new blinds app is not compatible with my version of iOS." "Oh i think we need to update our phones, to iphone 16's to get on iOS 18. They're only $1100 each. "sounds great babe, couldn't be happier with our rechargeable blinds"

[@notsponsered]

"Can you close the blinds?" "Sorry, I can't find the remote."

[@josepablofernandez5045]

Essential gray? More like millennial gray

[@shellyshell898]

Where did this even come from 😭

[@Rapha2587]

Mike, I would like to make a constructive criticism, as I am a long time viewer of the channel... You kind of defeat the whole purpose of the video when you show the end result at the beginning. If you show the before/after right out of the bat, why would people stick around for the rest of it!? Honestly, I don't understand why people do that... You can get away with it in the thumbnails, as it's small, and people don't pay too much attention to it, but don't spoil the video right at the beginning.
