Tilt My Blinds Lets You Retrofit Your Existing Blinds To Make Them Smarter

September 22nd - via: techcrunch.com
Tilt My Blinds, which is currently on track to be successfully crowd funded on Kickstarter, offers a clever way to get in on the home automation action by letting you control your blinds’ ’tilt’ mechanism via a smartphone app, dedicated wall switch, or its own built-in light sensor.
