Continuing the discussion from:
Cick the blue link: March 8, 2017 - New Product Announcement
I have been a part of the smartthings community for only about three months, and I’ve seen a lot of interesting ideas and devices. I would like to introduce one that we have been working on and seems to fill in a need for some people:
Full Disclaimer: We are dealers of Graber products, all our products are made to order at custom sizes and options.
Video with SmartThings v2 hub:
Controlling Multiple Shades (Solar Shade on the left and Cellular Shade on the right)
Graber’s virtual cord shades utilize Z-Wave+ to operate. This means it can be directly integrated with Samsung’s SmartThings and other home automation systems. In SmartThings, it works as a dimmer switch so using Smart Lighting it should be able to run locally…
This post will be kept up to date with various deals and coupons in relation to post above. Did not want to clutter it with coupon related info.
35% off on all Z-wave shades without coupon + 5% off with coupon: SmartThings + $20 off every motorized Graber product in your shopping cart (Expires Nov 24, 2017)

Website discount on these. Officially supports use only through included remote. They can be integrated with SmartThings but it is complicated. You will need a Broadlink RM Pro and the following integration to make it work: Broadlink RM2 compatibility (bridges 433 MHz and 315 MHz ) - #69 by itsamti
For large purchases ($5000 or more) something slightly better might be possible. PM me for details.

Yep, we just added the Z-wave line 6 days ago
Quick question - the site says “Shades can be conveniently operated from virtually anywhere in the home, up to 65 feet”, if they are using ZWave connected to ST why couldn’t I open them from anywhere (in or out of the house)? What am I missing? Is that line specifically for use of the remote?

That is with the included remote. Once connected to ST the limitation is gone.
Awesome! Thanks for clarifying. Seriously considering so I will be in touch because I have 21 windows in the house!

Bummer that the sliding panel shades aren’t also z-wave optionable!

Hi There,
Are these available in the UK by any chance? and can they work with existing shades i.e. provide ability to velcro the existing shades to the new motors?

Unfortunately the motors are not available for purchase separately, also it only supports the North American Z-wave standard.
Ok.
Thanks for the prompt response.

Manufacturer rebate won’t be available until next year I believe. In terms of discounts I can get you an additional 3-4% off on top of the existing 7% on the site. But once the coupon is generated it will expire in 24 hours, so just pm me when you need it.
