Smart Technology
how it Works
Smart homes continue to become more popular as technology advances, and one of the most exciting new innovations is smart motorized blinds and shades. These clever window coverings can be easily controlled from anywhere and programmed to open or close at just the right moments. Plus, they can seamlessly work together with other smart devices in your home, making your everyday living experience even more convenient and connected.
Motors and Power Source
- A quiet motor is discreetly built into the headrail of the window covering, and it can be powered either by wired electricity or long-lasting batteries.
Controls
- Remote Control: You can conveniently use a handheld or wall-mounted remote to control it whenever you want—no phone needed!
- Smartphone/Tablet App: Use a dedicated app to control your shades from anywhere. You can create personalized “scenes” and schedule them to operate on a schedule or in sync with sunrise and sunset. It’s a convenient way to manage your shades effortlessly and tailor them to your daily routines.
- Voice Control: Easily connect with your favorite smart home assistants like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit to make your daily life more convenient.
Smart Home Integration
- Many systems can be easily integrated into a larger smart home ecosystem, allowing them to work harmoniously with other devices, such as smart thermostats. This makes managing your home more convenient and seamless.
