Why Smart Window Shades Are a Must-Have for Your Home

Integrating Automated Window Treatments Enhances Wellbeing and Reduces Energy Costs 

The decor of your home matters and bare windows make a room feel sparse and unwelcoming: shades provide the finishing touch. Window treatments complete a space by adding elegance, imparting style, and providing a sense of ambiance. When integrated as part of a home automation ecosystem, they become a vital part of managing the comfort of your property. 

More than just fashion, smart window shades minimize energy costs, protect your assets and work in concert with your security system. In addition, shades are essential for implementing daylighting features, creating a more human-centric lighting environment.

Better Light, Better You

Sunlight affects rooms and the individuals who occupy them in remarkable ways. For example, the absorption of ultraviolet light creates vitamin D, essential for calcium absorption. As a result, increasing natural light in your home improves focus, perceptions, and wellbeing. 

Manage The Sun, Wirelessly

Window treatments, integrated with tunable lighting, help manage the natural light in your home, bringing balance to your day. Start your mornings with soft colors from your luminaries as the shades gently rise on schedule. Next, move into brighter focus as you begin tasks, and finally, transition into warm hues as you are ready for bed. 

Stay Comfortable, Save Energy 

While there are clear health benefits in opening your home to the sun, its heat can be problematic. Rooms often heat unevenly, with southern exposures warming faster than other parts. Climate controls strive to provide a consistent temperature as you travel from room to room. However, if one side is too hot, it can overwork your HVAC system unnecessarily. Motorized shades can work with your HVAC system, lowering during the hottest part of the day to better manage your indoor temperature while using less energy. 

Your Assets Protected

The UV light from the sun that provides health benefits can also cause damage with overexposure—motorized shades, triggered by sensors and schedules, automatically lower during the brightest time of the day. This way, your fine furniture and artwork are protected from discoloration and fading by filtering the sun, extending their value and vibrancy. 

Your home should be a place of peace and solace, the one space where you can relax and be yourself. Automated window treatments allow you to set the level of privacy you desire at the touch of a button or even the sound of your voice. Lower sheers to filter the sunset just over the horizon or blackout all the light as you start a movie, free from prying eyes.
