It’s a gorgeous fall day here in Pennsylvania. The sky is clear, and the sun is warm. It would be great to open all the windows and then the shades to let in some of that beautiful air and light. But I’d have to run all over the house opening about 20 shades—and some of them are kinda dusty because I don’t touch those a lot.

Wouldn’t it be nice to press a button and all the shades would open up on their own?

I can really do that.  Well, not me, because I don’t have Lutron’s Sivoia QS Wireless Cellular Shades with remote control operation. But you can get them by entering this contest here.

The Lutron Sivoia QS Wireless Shades make it easy to adjust your home’s shades, and since they operate on battery power (the batteries last about three years), they’re less complicated to install than other shade systems. You can learn a lot more about them here.

If you want to try to win a system valued at $299, follow this link to our contest.

Below is a brief video of the Sivoia QS shades being demonstrated at CEDIA Expo:
