Chowmain Software has released a free manufacturer-sponsored Sunsa driver for Control4.

The Sunsa Wand allows users to control manual blinds from anywhere. It is compatible with any existing window blind model, including horizontal blinds, vertical blinds, and mini-blinds and operates automatically through the smartphone and/or integrations with smart home technologies like Control4, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

It installs on existing blinds in under two minutes with no special tools and without damaging the blinds. Consumers get the exact same benefits of expensive high-end blinds systems, without the cost and without having to replace existing blinds.

Simply replace your current blind’s wand with the Sunsa Wand and you have automated, motorised smart blinds that can tilt your blinds open and close.
