Pair #1: Lights + Blinds

Automated lighting is often celebrated for its eco-friendly ability to help lower electricity costs, and automatic blinds also land in this category. Automatic blinds can be programmed to help maintain your home’s temperature throughout the day by raising during cool mornings and lowering to block out heat in the afternoon. This proactive step reduces the need for air conditioning, lowering utility costs. 

In addition to utility savings, smart lighting and automatic shades are also a great pair for providing healthful natural light throughout the day. Together, this duo of home features can monitor and balance natural light with artificial lighting to ensure the proper amount of light to work and function, promoting better sleep and brighter moods. Ultimately, this pairing benefits your health and keeps your utility bills low.

Pair #2: Home Theatre + Blinds

“Lights, camera, action” is the typical phrase that kicks off a movie in your home theatre, but an unspoken part of that is closing the window shades and protecting your entertainment from outside distractions. With just a simple tap on your smart home control platform, you can enjoy an automated sequence of activities: the lights dim, the automatic blinds close, and the entertainment begins. Your home theatre technology can be programmed to work seamlessly together in a pre-programmed scene for true movie-night magic. 

Pair #3: Home Security + Blinds

Automatic blinds can also play a role in enhancing your home’s security. When automated to move on schedule, blinds can open and close throughout the day to give the appearance of occupancy and deter intruders. In addition, automatic blinds provide privacy whenever necessary, such as during family dinners or remote workdays. Many families feel more secure in their homes, knowing no one outside can easily see in.
