Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit my existing shade?
The kit ships with adapters for common roller tube sizes. Note your shade width and tube diameter if known in the quote note and fit is confirmed during quote review.
How long does a charge last?
Typical bedroom and living room use runs months between charges. The motor charges in place over USB-C, so shades stay mounted.
Can I control it from my phone?
Yes, when paired with the Vanguard Shade smart hub, which adds app schedules and works with leading voice assistants. The RF remote works on its own out of the box.
