Motorized window shade system

An electronically-controlled motorized roll-up window shade, comprising:

• a controller;
• a tubular motor provided to said controller, said tubular motor configured to raise and lower a shade material, said tubular motor disposed in a tube member wherein said shade material rolls onto said tube member when said shade material is raised;
• a first power source provided to said controller, said first power source disposed in said tube member;
• and
• a two-way wireless communication system provided to said controller, said controller configured to control said motor in response to a wireless communication received from a group controller, said group controller configured to open and close said motorized shade to produce a desired room temperature during the day and to provide privacy at night, wherein said group controller is provided to a central controller to provide coordinated temperature control using said motorized shade and said HVAC system.
