Control Your Home from Your Smartphone

Technology is taking over and it’s about time! We use technology daily to check emails, work, play and even pay bills. We have created strong bonds with our devices because it makes our lives convenient and it is super “cool.” Our smart devices can do so much, even controlling multiple items in the home like:

• Programming the coffee maker so it brews when your alarm goes off
• Monitoring the thermostat from an app on your phone to conserve energy and lower your energy bill
• Turning on your car and the air conditioner before getting in
• Arming or disarming your home security systems before you walk through the door

Technology makes our lives easier in every way

How It Can Help

Child’s Room

Having motorized window treatments can protect your children. Every year there are injuries including deaths, caused by window covering dangling cords. If they are not properly secured, they can become a health hazard to a child. That is why motorized window treatments are ideal for your children’s rooms. You can rest assured knowing that they are safe.

Persons with limited mobility or seniors

Getting older can be difficult for some people who can no longer do activities that were once so easy. Opening and closing window treatments manually can be difficult for anyone and, for seniors, it can be extremely hard. Adding motorization will allow them to still have control of light and privacy in the home.

Energy Saving

Having motorized window treatments can save you money. Programming your window coverings with your app can ultimately lower your energy bill. Programming your windows to open and close during peak hours of sunshine prevents you from having to use your air or heater as much.

Skylights and hard-to-reach windows

Almost every home has one window that is hard-to-reach, especially behind the tub or over the kitchen sink. Sometimes we cover these windows with treatments and never use them because it is super inconvenient to reach. So instead of putting yourself in harm’s way to open your window, you can have it motorized to make your life easier.
