Many of us have blinds over our windows maybe with or without curtains. Generally, we open and shut them as the sun becomes an annoyance. Sometimes we forget and just click on a light. If you want to be better about turning to your windows before turning on a light, the FlipFlic is the handy device that can turn your blinds into “smart blinds”.

This little solar powered device will rotate your blinds open and closed for you, provided you have the type that the tilt function is operated by a wand. If you don’t, no worries, there’s another product in the works for you.

This product will open and close your blinds based on either the comfort level you set, which is determined by light and/or temperature or on a schedule. This is great because you can set them to automatically close at night or to open up and let the sunshine in first thing in the morning. This project is currently being funded through Kickstarter but has met its goal. You can snag a FlipFlic for $85.
