If you’re in the process of updating different features of your home, now is the perfect time to consider installing smart shades. These home window treatments provide several great features, including convenience and efficiency. They come in a variety of styles and colors, allowing you to customize the appearance of your living spaces without compromising functionality. Investing in a smart home system is essential in an evolving homeowner’s life.
Smart Shades Boost Convenience
Imagine sitting on your couch, relaxing later in the day. The sun is going down and is now shining directly through the window and directly into your face so you cannot see. Rather than having to get up and close the shade manually, you can use your smart device to close it for you. These smart shades can even be paired to a smart home hub or your smart thermostat so you can use voice controls to activate them.
If you’re away from home and realize that you forgot to close your shades, you can do so remotely. This will allow you to make your home appear safer while you’re gone.
You can set your shades to open and close automatically. Your shades can close in preparation for bedtime, helping you to wind down naturally. This can also increase your privacy if the sun is going down and people will be able to see through your windows. It can be inconvenient to monitor all of the window treatments in your home, closing them and opening them as needed.
The apps that these companies use to control their smart shades tend to be very simple to navigate. You will be able to set up your shades with ease and change your settings as needed. A huge advantage of this is mobility as you do not even have to get up, but just must grab your mobile device and control the smart shades from there.
Increasing Energy Efficiency
The window treatments that you choose for your home will determine how efficient your home is. In the winter months, shades, blinds, and curtains can block cold air from coming inside. They can also block warm air from escaping. This will reduce the amount of time that your HVAC system needs to run to keep up with your temperature demands.
You can open your smart shades in the middle of the afternoon when the sun is shining. This allows you to utilize the heat from the sun to warm your home without having to turn on the furnace. Close your smart shades when inclement weather is coming through to block drafts that can reduce efficiency. All of this can be done conveniently with the smart device you have paired to your shades. You can make adjustments remotely as well.
