# ShadeWise ☀🪟

_Your blinds, finally aware of the sun._ (formerly **SunShade** )

ShadeWise automates your blinds, roller shutters, curtains, awnings and venetian blinds based on where the sun actually is relative to each window, combined with temperatures, light level and the weather forecast. Keep the heat out in summer, let free sunlight in during winter, avoid glare on your screen, and never wake up a napping child again.

**Works with any brand** – anything Homey exposes as a blind/curtain (windowcoverings) can be driven: Somfy, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Shelly, Motion, etc.

## Main features

- 🧭 **Per-facade logic** – each window gets its orientation; ShadeWise computes when the sun hits it
- 🌡 **Heat protection** – closes sun-exposed windows when it’s hot inside/outside or a hot day is forecast
- ❄ **Winter gain** – opens sunny facades to collect free heat
- 😎 **Glare protection** – for offices/TV rooms, with adjustable sensitivity, ignored when it’s cloudy
- 🌅 **Morning opening / evening closing** – by sunrise/sunset, fixed times, weekdays/weekends and public holidays
- 💤 **Nap mode** – close a kid’s room by hand and ShadeWise pauses, then resumes when you open it again
- 🧊 **Frost & wind safety** – frost lock that still allows morning opening/evening closing (full lock when on vacation)
- ✋ **Manual override detection** – if you move a blind yourself, ShadeWise respects it for a while
- 🚪 **Window/door contact** – never closes a shutter on an open door
- 🌦 **Open-Meteo forecast** – no account, no API key, location from Homey
- 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇳🇱

## Dashboard widgets

- **My sunny day** – sun curve, clear-sky curve, light level, today/tomorrow
- **My blinds** – live state of every blind, coloured by sun exposure, with heat/glare/nap/manual badges
- **Comfort report** – today, yesterday, week or month

## Getting started

1. Install ShadeWise and open the app settings.
2. The **setup wizard** lists your blinds: pick the ones to automate and give each window its orientation (N, S, E, W…).
3. Optionally add indoor/outdoor temperature and lux sensors – that’s it.

Optional companion devices (“ShadeWise blind”) show position and reason and include an automation toggle, and many Flow cards are available (pause/resume, nap, set position, conditions, triggers).

## Feedback

This is version 1.0.0 – feedback and ideas are very welcome!  
When reporting an issue, please include the app version, the type/brand of blind and a screenshot of its settings.
