Shades and Blinds

I surrounded my outdoor kitchen with these motorized, remote controlled shades. This is primarily to keep the sun out, but also mitigates wind and rain in the winter. Keystone Elite Plus shades block up to 90% of UVA rays, but you can still see through them. This shade comes in 4′, 6′, 8′ and 10′ widths and all shades have an 8′ fabric drop. I ordered (2) 8-foot, (2) 6-foot, and (1) 10-foot to surround the outdoor space. Controls are integrated into Home Assistant using the same Broadlink RM4 Pro that I use to control the family room television. This means the shades are also controllable from anywhere by voice.
