Making the right choice in window coverings for your home involves numerous options. Tech features are at the forefront of creating simple, automated shades that keep your home looking and feeling cool. Window shade automation has never been easier to manage–when you choose the right ones. Let’s look at what to consider when browsing through motorized blinds for your home.
Get Smart (Home Edition)!
We are living at a time when our home’s products seem smarter than us. How did we get here? The best part of this is creating a smart home that works for you and lets you control light filtering options any time, day or night. Our smart phone app lets you get the benefits of smart shades, such as lowering and raising on a schedule and tapping a button to adjust as needed. Keep light out or let it in as desired. Keep control in the palm of your hand. That’s the power of automation for your home!
Set the scene in your home after you leave or when you are set to come home. Never go on vacation worried about leaving the blinds open again! Automate everything on the app, and set times of day to keep the shades drawn for better light control, privacy and security. Remotes can be used to control your shades as well. Wall mounts or free standing are all up to your personal preference.
Smart Home Integration
Hunter Douglas smart shades are also compatible with other smart home systems, so you can integrate them into your whole space and keep things running smoothly. Alexa and Google Home can control your window coverings with just a simple voice command. This brings ease to your lifestyle to coordinate with lighting, climate control, and privacy all connected as one for your comfort.
Benefits of Window Shade Automation
They’re a brilliant combination of convenience, performance, and style. Energy efficiency is achieved by setting scheduled closing and opening throughout your day. Thus, harsh sunlight is blocked, reduces heat gain, or lest in warmth when the temperature dips maintaining a comfortable environment that saves on cost. The added customizable routine and scenes lets you plan how and when you want your smart shades to operate, on your own schedule. Lastly, safety is always a top concern and automated window coverings eliminate dangerous cords for children and pets to maintain a worry free space.
Rooms Perfect for Automation Upgrades
Although we can argue every room in your home is worthy of automated shades, there are some we see more fit for the upgrade. Bedrooms start off our list so you can greet the morning sun with scheduled rising and then have instant privacy at night. Living rooms bask in the automated glare control and typically have large, hard to reach windows. Therefore, automated shades make anytime of day exactly at the comfort level you choose.
Home offices are a space that thrive off reducing distraction. With a touch of a button the perfect light can be achieved. No matter the space, automated shades bring smart functionality and desired comfort to your everyday living.
