If your dreams of building a smart home are consistently thwarted by complexity and budget, fear not - SwitchBot might have the perfect solution for you. 

I've tried a few of SwitchBot's retrofit devices like its SwitchBot Bot smart switch, SwitchBot Lock, and its exciting new robot vacuum, which also acts as a humidifier, and I've been consistently impressed by their ingenuity. Now, in this Black Friday deal, you can adapt your curtains and Venetian blinds to smart devices thanks to the SwitchBot Curtain 3 and Blind Tilt, which are both 30% off on Amazon right now.

Smart blinds and curtains are a great way to add small but meaningful changes to your home routine, whether it's creating the appearance of someone being home when you're on vacation or automating your daily routine to make sure your home is filled with sunlight as soon as you wake.

Instead of requiring you to refit your window coverings, these handy gadgets simply attach to your existing curtain rail or blinds, and can be controlled using SwitchBot's app. With the addition of a SwitchBot hub, you can also use voice control via other smart home ecosystems, but bear in mind both products have different requirements here, which we've explained below.

If you've got Venetian blinds at home, this one's for you, knocking 30% off the list price of SwitchBot's light-sensitive Blind Tilt device.

While SwitchBot's software can be a little limiting, these retrofit devices are an excellent alternative to completely overhauling your home. Or, if you're a renter, you can enjoy all of the perks of smart home fittings without the hassle and heartache of deposit deductions due to your home renovations.

Simple though it may be, introducing smart controls to your window coverings can have a massive positive effect on your day-to-day life. For me, it means I can wake up to natural light every day, which hugely helps me regulate my otherwise wonky circadian rhythm, and that's worth every penny.
