Smart Privacy
A window with a motorized blackout shade inside the frame. The Innovio™ layer in the glass turns UV light into electricity to run the shade, so the window installs without an electrician or new wiring.

The Innovio™ layer turns UV light into electricity.
the frame
A blackout roller shade runs in guides at the sides of the glass.
an electrician
A local window installer fits it like any other window.
The glass powers the shade.
The Innovio interlayer is laminated into the outer pane. It absorbs ultraviolet light, which you can't see, and passes visible light, so the view stays clear.

A battery in the frame stores it
The battery sits in the valance at the top of the frame, so the shade also runs at night.

You lower the shade
A motor raises and lowers the blackout shade. You control and schedule it from your smart home platform.
Smart Privacy turns the outer pane into a laminated assembly that generates its own power. That power runs a shade inside the frame, so the window needs no wiring to your home.
Built first for aluminum-frame homes in the Bay Area.
Many mid-century and contemporary Bay Area homes have aluminum windows. Smart Privacy launches in an aluminum frame, so those homes come first.
- Frames
- We launch with aluminum frames, and vinyl frames follow later. If your home needs vinyl, join anyway and we'll keep you posted.
- Timing
- We plan the first Bay Area installs for mid-2027 and will confirm dates with each homeowner directly.
- Sizes
- Large picture windows and sliders need a closer look, which we do on a short call.
- Installation
- A local window installer fits it like any other window. The shade needs no wiring to your home.
A person replies, then we talk about your home.

A 15-minute call, if you want one
We talk through rooms, timing and frame type. Phone or video, your choice.
What homeowners ask first.
Is this a reservation?
No. Joining puts you on an interest list and starts a conversation. It costs nothing and does not hold a delivery date, an install slot or a place in line.
Where do you install first?
The Bay Area, starting near our Oakland office. If you live elsewhere, join anyway and we'll tell you when your area opens.
Does the shade need batteries or an electrician?
The shade runs on a battery in the frame that the glass recharges, so you don't swap or charge batteries. The window installs without an electrician.
Will it work with my smart home?
Smart Privacy is designed to connect to your smart home platform, so you control the shade and set schedules from the app you already use. We'll confirm the supported platforms before launch.
What if my home needs vinyl frames?
Aluminum frames come first and vinyl follows later. Tell us your frame type when you join and we'll send vinyl news when we have a date we can hold.
