Here’s How Smart Blinds and Shades Work
Smart blinds and window shades use automated window treatment technology that first came around in the ‘90s. They come outfitted with a built-in motor and other devices that provide functionality that makes them “smart.” Smart blinds and shades can be powered in one of three ways: batteries, an electrical plug, or hard-wired into a central panel.
They are designed to keep all the wires hidden for a sleek look. And more modern smart blinds and shades come with additional equipment such as light sensors that provide more features.
Some Common Features of Smart Blinds and Shades
As with traditional blinds and shades, their main purpose is to control the amount of sunlight that enters your home and provide privacy. However, they become “smart” when you can control them without physically pulling them down. They are connected through an app or another smart device in your home so you can control them remotely. With an app, you can raise and drop them from another room or even when you’re away. If they’re integrated with a smart device like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you can use voice commands to control them.
They also feature timers and temperature detection. You can have them set to raise when your family arrives home from work/school or have them drop when it’s time for everyone to go to bed. Or if the temperature in the house is too hot or cold, they can automatically adjust to make things more comfortable.
The Benefits of Smart Blinds and Shades
These are the major advantages of installing smart blinds and shades:
