Welcome back to the Crazy Joe's Drapery and Blinds podcast - your go-to source for expert window treatment advice in Toronto, Mississauga, and across Ontario.

In this episode we cover the best smart home setup approach for new builds across the GTA - Mississauga, Vaughan, Brampton, Oakville, and Toronto - and where motorized blinds fit in.

We cover:

- The most important smart home decision: choosing your ecosystem (Google Home vs. Alexa vs. Apple HomeKit)

- The core four smart home devices to prioritize: smart thermostat, smart lighting, smart lock, and motorized blinds

- Why motorized blinds belong in a new build from day one - and the advantage of electrical rough-ins during construction

- Scenes and routines that make smart home technology genuinely impressive: morning, leaving, evening, and movie scenes
