How Smart Blinds Can Transform Your Home in Many Ways

15 March 2022 by June Alvarez

When people think about smart home automation, they often turn to security cameras, dynamic thermostats and other "top of mind" solutions. Yet, there is another smart approach that can make life easier and help with many other elements of daily life. If you've never considered introducing smart blinds, what are you missing?

Safety First

You can use smart shades or blinds to help fool potential criminals. They can be programmed to open and close according to a schedule or even randomly, to give the impression that people are in and out of the home at various times. You can set the system up when you head off on holiday to give you an extra element of security.

Nosy Neighbours

If you live in an apartment complex or have nearby neighbours in any case, think about adding smart blinds to help you protect privacy. This can be particularly valuable during wintertime when the days are shorter, and you're more likely to have the interior lights ablaze. Program the blinds to shut when the sun goes down, and it's one less thing to think about.

Those Difficult to Reach Places

Some people live in a home with cathedral ceilings that feature windows at a much higher level. It can sometimes be difficult to adjust any shading fitted to those windows, but you won't need to think about that any longer with smart blinds.

Dealing with the Sun

You can also save energy with certain types of smart blinds that are able to adjust themselves according to the heat of the sun. They will move into position to block those UV rays as needed, and this can certainly reduce the temperature inside your home. In turn, you should spend less on energy and enjoy more pleasant conditions at the same time. Further, these blinds can direct harsh sunlight away rather than allowing it to penetrate and bake down on your furniture or carpets. If you allow this to happen over time, it can lead to fading or discolouration.

Value Proposition

Finally, when you add any smart home solutions, they can certainly help increase your property's value. Buyers will be impressed with your attention to detail and should be more interested in your proposition.

Installation

If you want to install smart blinds, talk with your electrician first. They will help you connect everything up and test the entire system to make sure it works.
