Have you heard about the latest addition to IKEA's smart home collection? It's the Fyrtur smart blind! This sleek and modern device is perfect for those who want to control their blinds with just a few taps on their smartphone or voice commands. The smallest fyrtur is 27 inches long, but it can be purchased in special-cut sizes, and its width varies depending on your window size.

This smart blind is available in heather gray blackout fabric that blocks out unwanted light and comes in fancy colors. The 76-inch version of the Fyrtur can be fully extended to cover large windows and its metal industrial-looking overhang adds an extra touch of sophistication to any room. However, while the functionality of this product is impressive, there is a key trade-off -- competitors cost substantially less than bilking people with IKEA's offering.

The Ikea Fyrtur Smart Shade comes in a range of sizes to fit various windows and doors. You can choose from sizes as small as 23 inches wide and 30 inches long, or as large as 48 inches wide and 76 inches long. No matter what size you need, the fyrtur shade is designed with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and comes with a magnetic wireless remote for easy control.

To mount the fyrtur smart blind, you'll need to use the included mounting brackets. These vary depending on the size of your blind, so be sure to check that you have the correct ones before starting installation. A quick run to your local hardware store can also help ensure you have everything you need to finish setup and start testing your new smart shade.

Hanging the ikea fyrtur smart blind neatly in place takes only about 20 minutes and is painless -- even if you're not particularly handy around the house! The entire fyrtur blind clips into place beneath its mounting brackets, so all you really need are some fresh pack of 8 lath screws which come with it. Once you've done a good job installing it, sit back and enjoy ultimate convenience at any place time in your home with just a click of its magnetic wireless remote!

I recently purchased the IKEA Fyrtur smart blind for my living room, and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. Although it's admittedly basic and comes in a clunky-looking metal housing, it does the job that I badly needed it to do. The Fyrtur shade is easy to install and works seamlessly with my voice assistant, which fits perfectly with my smart home setup.

One of the main reasons why I'm choosing to hold onto this smart blind is that it's affordable. I previously couldn't afford high-tech shades for my front door or living room windows, but now I can enjoy the same benefits at a fraction of the cost. Additionally, the battery lasts for quite some time with light usage, so there's no need to constantly charge it. Overall, adding smart shades has given my home a more modern touch and has made me feel like I have a good first-hand sense of what a smart home can be like. I'll definitely report back after adding more smart shades!
