1. Convenient and Efficient

 

The best part about motorized window treatments? You can utilize them in any area of your home, no matter where you are– even while you’re away. Using the smart device of your preference, like your smartphone, laptop, tablet, or wall keypad, simply push a button and operate all your shades in an instance.

Lower shades, raise them, or schedule them to work at set hours of the day. You can easily adjust when the sun begins to set or move in the sky. Never worry about trying to control shades that are too high up or hard to reach because they cover large, bay windows. Smart shades take all the hassle out of their everyday use.

2. Style and Design

 

There is an endless variety of shade styles to choose from for every room and area of your home. Whether you need colorful, sheer shades for your kitchen and laundry room, or more neutral shades for the bedroom and family room – there are multiple options to pick.

Looking to entertain your family in your media room? Don’t let sun glares ruin another movie again. Blackout shades can keep you completely enveloped in darkness and can create an immersive atmosphere in your home theater. These types of shades are also great for privacy, and for when you’re ready to lock up the house for the night.

3. Save Energy

 

Motorized shades don’t just bring style to your home – they also help you lower your energy usage by keeping your house insulated during any month of the year. When it’s freezing or burning up outside, your heaters and HVAC are no doubt having to turn up a notch in order to keep your home feeling comfortable. With automated shades, you won’t have to worry about your system working double-time and upping your monthly costs.

By lowering your shades, you are trapping cold or heat inside and helping to maintain your house’s internal temperature. Pair your shades with a smart thermostat that regulate the temperature and work together never to let your HVAC system drive up your energy-usage and bills.

4. Safety and Security

 

Not many realize that motorized shades are an essential asset to any expansive smart security system. But by adding this solution to your security, you can boost your entire property’s protection. By setting your system to an “away” setting, your shades raise and lower at certain times during the day that mimics your everyday routine and activities.

This “mockupancy” feature throws off robbers who might be targeting your unoccupied home. Your shades will make it seem like your house is full of life, and keep them from even considering breaking into your house. Operate your shades and system from wherever you are, so you never have to stress about your house’s safety while you’re gone.
