SXSW 2025 is set to transform Austin into a hub of groundbreaking ideas from March 7th to 15th, where innovation meets culture and technology reshapes how we live. But beyond the main festival buzz, the real game-changers are happening in spaces built for fresh conversations and hands-on experiences.
Enter The Lively Grit Daily House, a media-driven speakeasy where real dialogue, disruptive thinking, and immersive activations take center stage. It’s not about corporate keynotes or buzzword-packed pitches. It’s about ideas that matter, connections that stick, and technology that makes a real difference.
That’s exactly where Mado Dynamic and its innovative C-Series shades fit in.
Revolutionizing Smart Spaces with AI-Powered Window Shades
Mado Dynamic is redefining home and office automation with a new generation of AI-driven, energy-efficient smart shades, designed for effortless comfort, sustainability, and affordability. Traditional window treatments often come with frustrating installation processes, high costs, and limited functionality. Mado’s approach eliminates those pain points, delivering an intelligent, seamless experience that adjusts in real time to sunlight, temperature, and privacy needs — all while maximizing energy savings and enhancing aesthetics.
Instead of requiring users to manually adjust their window coverings throughout the day, Mado’s shades integrate AI-powered automation to regulate natural light, optimize energy consumption, and create the ideal indoor environment year-round. With its exclusive Kickstarter launch set to start on March 11, 2025, Mado is not just introducing a new product but building a community of forward-thinking users who believe smart living should be simple, intuitive, and accessible.
Bringing Smart Automation to Everyday Living
Mado Dynamic is transforming the way homeowners and businesses think about window shades, making smart automation more accessible, efficient, and effortlessly stylish. Traditionally, motorized shades have come with a steep price tag, complex measuring requirements, and professional installation. Mado changes that equation by offering an affordable alternative with a trim-to-fit design that is easy for anyone to install without the need for tools, drilling, or guesswork.
Beyond easy installation, Mado’s C-Series shades redefine what it means to have a truly intelligent environment. AI-driven automation adjusts in real time to sunlight, temperature, and occupancy, optimizing energy efficiency while enhancing comfort. The shades lower automatically to block afternoon heat, reducing cooling costs, and close at night for privacy without manual adjustments. By providing insulation in colder months and preventing heat buildup in warmer seasons, they help regulate indoor temperatures year-round, reducing reliance on heating and air conditioning. This not only lowers energy bills but also shrinks the climate footprint, offering a balance between effortless living and sustainability.
Mado’s technology also contributes to overall well-being by managing natural light exposure, reducing glare, and enhancing indoor comfort. By intelligently adjusting based on factors like window orientation, sun path, and seasonality, these shades help regulate circadian rhythms, improve sleep quality, and boost productivity. Additionally, automated closing at night enhances security by preventing outsiders from seeing inside, adding another layer of protection to smart living.
To further simplify control, Mado’s C-Series shades integrate with an AI-powered companion app, allowing users to fine-tune energy savings, privacy settings, and lighting preferences based on their specific needs. Whether optimizing for comfort, security, or sustainability, the app ensures a fully personalized experience.
And to ensure there is even less to do, it features a solar-powered rechargeable motor. Harnessing natural light for energy, Mado’s design minimizes environmental impact while providing a truly low-maintenance experience.
Moreover, the smart shades integrate seamlessly with smart home and office systems, thanks to Matter compatibility, syncing with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Nest, and Samsung SmartThings. This means users can automate settings, schedule adjustments, or control their shades with a simple voice command.
