The Smart Glass Feather River Door: A Light-Front Glass Door with a Smart Home App for Controlling Screens and Wi-Fi

The smart glassFeather River door is a prehung fiberglass door with built in smart glass. The button on the door can be used to change the glass tint from clear to opaque, and you can use a smart home app to control it. You can also set the glass on a schedule and have it be clear during the day and opaque at night. The price for a three-fourths lite, half lite and full lite is $988, which is more than the price of a non-smart front door.

Home Depot has a smart- home system called Hubspace. It works just like any other smart- home app and has options to control your Hubspace devices. Everything I have tested from Hubspace has worked well, despite the fact it is a little newer to the space. It also plays nice with the two most popular voice assistants, so it’s pretty painless to add to your home.

Hubspace is a collaboration between a retail giant and a third party. It can connect to your smart home system and use your voice to illuminate or clear your door.

The Smart Glass door can work on both battery and USB-C if you’ve got a nearby outlet on the hinge side of the door; the battery is expected to last around two months depending on usage. It is possible to control the door via the wi-fi if you lose it. If the door loses power, it’ll automatically switch the window to opaque mode, giving your home privacy while you wait for power to come back on or for the battery to charge.

The door is designed to fit a standard entryway and comes with a frame and weather stripping for easy installation. According to The Home Depot, the glass is exterior security strength, and a hurricane glass option is coming soon.

Smart home gadgets have no limits these days. You can control everything from a garage door to every single light bulb in your house … if you have enough gusto to replace them all. Front doors have had smart accessories added to them over the years—smart door locks, video doorbells, sensors to tell you whether the door is shut—so why not make the door itself smart?

With the Smart Glass door’s paintable fiberglass construction, composite window, and decorative panels at the bottom, the Smart Glass door has a nice, contemporary look. Four window sizes can be chosen, allowing the smart glass to fill the entire door or just the top quarter. The door with the small, Craftsman-style window is the least expensive at $798, while the three-quarter window and full-size window both retail for $998.
