The Sunflower Providing Smart Shade

ShadeCraft is a robotics and tech startup based in Los Angeles. They have come to sunny Las Vegas with a world first. This is the autonomous shade, called the Sunflower. The Sunflower is solar powered, connects to the internet and your smart home devices AND contains cameras, lighting and a bunch of other sensors.

The Sunflower is the first smart sunshade we’ve ever seen and this is just loaded with features for a first run product.

The Sunflower has…

  • Solar charging for…
  • Lights
  • Speakers for music
  • AI integration
  • Security cameras (monitor the backyard!)

  • Wifi
  • Bluetooth
  • Automatic retraction
  • Follows the sun to keep you shaded
  • App connected

It is absolutely futuristic looking, a great idea, ticks a bunch of boxes we didn’t know existed and is something we absolutely want today.

It’s beautiful, it has won a bunch of CES awards already and will hopefully be priced to sell, sell, sell.

Available in 2018 though, so stick with your dumb sunshade for now.
