Let’s face it, the world is getting smarter: smartphones, smart TVs, smart boards, smart homes, smart thermostats, and smart doorbells, to name just a few. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that smart technology has moved to something any person with windows deals with every day: your blinds. Smart blinds and smart shades add a little tech and a lot of convenience to your window coverings.
Imagine your blinds opening on their own to let in the morning light, or closing automatically when the sun sets. How nice would it be if your window coverings could monitor the temperature and open and close to keep the inside of your home comfortable, without you having to pay any attention? And what if all of this could be powered by the sun? Welcome to the world of smart blinds.
Smart blinds are similar to regular window treatments—they offer privacy, control the amount of outdoor light you let into your home, and help block out heat in the summer and keep warmth inside in the winter. But instead of pulling a cord or twisting a wand to control your blinds, smart blinds let a home automation platform like Alexa or Google Home do it for you. Or, in the case oftilt brand smart blinds, they can also work without a home automation system.
With today’s fast-paced lifestyles, complete automation of temperature, lighting, and privacy settings is very appealing. After all, who doesn’t breathe a sigh of relief at one less thing to worry about? You can set open and close schedules, and blinds with temperature sensors can respond on their own to help heat and cool your home. Smart blinds come in a variety of colors and styles. Some are also solar-powered, further boosting your energy savings.
If you’re ready for new window treatments and like the idea of controlling your blinds and shades without having to lift a finger, then it might be the perfect time toorder custom smart blinds for your home.
But if you want to switch over to automated blinds without having to go out and buy all new window treatments, that’s also doable. DIY automation kits allow you to “smarten up” the blinds you already have.
