Tony,
Glad to see some manufacturer input here. I ran across your shades while searching around for options. I have a few sample swatches from you and the quality looks great. What wireless protocol do they use? You mention API, so I assume they are WiFi capable? How about a sample shade for testing??
Yes, the ‘Leviosa Zone’ is a wifi-bridge to the 433 MHz shade frequency mandated by FCC. We provide demo shades to dealers for sales/marketing, and many customers purchase a ‘test’ shade before ordering for their full house.
Looking for shades on a new home build. Came across the Leviosa product and wanted to check on HA integration as that is important to me. Anybody made any progress on integration since Jan?
Tony - Any progress on getting support? Looking to purchase new blinds for my house.
Hi Ben-
Leviosa has been compatible with many home automation systems since 2018. Sorry we did not update. See details here. Since Leviosa is an open system, we have 100% compatibility with major systems to date. We plan to offer the integration with HA by the end of the year.
Would definitely be interested in a direct integration to HA.
Purchased one for our movie room and having to integrate via SmartThings.
This is kludgy at best to be honest. The unfortunate part is these blinds have no idea where they’re ‘at’ - there’s no % open involved, it’s all about setting top & bottoms stops and then (personally) I set a middle ‘waypoint’.
The problem then is if you hit ‘open’ and it’s at the bottom, it only opens to the ‘waypoint’, not all the way open, and doesn’t display anywhere in HA natively (via SmartThings at least) where it’s at currently.
My solution to this is quite convoluted - it works, but it’s pretty kludgy.

Result:
Like anything, the ends justify the means and I now have blinds that are actuated via Home Assistant and can automagically open / close. Ie. when the movie room receiver turns on call script.movie_room_blinds_close
Again, works well and I’m pretty happy, but wish it just had % open and I could set that vs. the tom-foolery of setting variable to remember position, etc…
any updates on the leviosa shades?
also any one have good luck with the Ikea roller shades recently with or without the ikea gateway?
Update: Leviosa will complete the integration with Home Assistant for the May 2021 release. In the meantime, PM if you are interested in beta testing - very easy to setup.
how is the integration coming along for Leviosa with Home Assistant?
I’m also interested in the Levisoa blinds because it will be integrated into HA. I ordered some samples just now!
I’m pretty sure we will be buying Leviosa shades since they have Home Assistant support. Will order a sample shortly. Thanks @Leviosa!
I am impressed with communication by Leviosa, It’s nice to see a rep actually using the home assistant forums.
I just ordered my samples from them as well, home assistant integration is a must for me… It’s nice to see companies understand that!
What spelling issue?
There should be no comma in FAQs. Forgivable in general but not on a professional website
Fair comment, since it is not a spelling error but a punctuation error. 
“FAQ’s” should be “FAQs”. An apostrophe is not a universal plural indicator. Tiny issue I know, but one which should have been caught by even the most basic spelling and grammar check. Just doesn’t inspire confidence.
The page styling in which the headers are all uppercase makes the situation more difficult, such that “FAQ’S” is much better than “FAQS”.
Add to that the difference in guidance across style guides:
Probably the easiest solution is to avoid the “S” altogether, and go with the idea that FAQ means “Frequently Asked Questions”. Pretty sure that that’s much more common than the ol’ “Frequently Asked Question” page. 
Is it just me or anyone else also think that the Leviosa shades are quite expensive. I tried selecting a few different options and saw a price of above $400 for just one blind?!!
