Advantages of Automation
Technology is ever-changing. Staying on top of the current trends can be an exciting journey. As home automation has made our lives easier and more convenient, motorized window solutions that can be programmed and integrated into our smart devices are a natural next step. With just the push of a button on a wall panel, remote, or smartphone or by using voice control devices, natural light can flow into your home or your privacy can be secured. Let’s see how automated blinds and shades can streamline your life.
Automation can help keep your energy bills lower. By programming your motorized blinds to close and open at specific times of the day, you are able to control the temperature of your home. In the summer, you can block out the rays of the sun during peak times by closing blinds and preventing solar heat gain, ensuring that your air conditioning won’t have to work harder to keep things cool. During the colder months, you can program the blinds to stay open during optimal sun hours to add heat to a room and cut your dependence on your heating source. Integrate your smart window treatments with your smart lighting and thermostat to gain optimal energy efficiency.
Don’t worry about giving up your existing custom window treatments in favor of automation. Many styles can be retrofitted with automation technology so you have the best of both worlds: motorized shades and blinds on the window solutions that you love. You may even be able to use the same automation technology on future window treatments when you’d like to switch things up.
It may feel as if you’re living in the future, but imagine the opportunity of adjusting your shades from anywhere. Smartphone integration makes this convenience a snap, giving you full control to close the blinds in your home from anywhere, including the office or a tropical island while you’re on vacation.
Privacy is always in style and having automated window solutions will provide an extra layer of security. By setting a timer on your window treatments, your home will look lived in even if you’re away. If you’re watching TV in the den, you can use your smartphone to close all your automated blinds and shades in every part of your home without leaving the couch. Say goodbye to closing them by hand, room by room!
If you have a grand foyer with high windows or a bank of windows awkwardly located behind some large furniture, automated window solutions will let you open and close them without climbing over a sectional or using a step ladder to reach them. Think of all of the time and energy you can save by using this amazing technology.
If your aesthetic is modern with clean lines, motorized blinds can help you achieve this look. As the components are hidden and there are no cords that can look messy, you’ll enjoy a sleek, sophisticated look in any room.
