Smart Blinds, Shades, And Shutters For Your Home

We have witnessed significant advancements in home automation technology during the past ten or so years. Everything from entering our front door to watering our garden may now be controlled digitally. You may also automate the control of your window coverings with the help of the New View Blinds and Shutters line of smart blinds, shades, and shutters.

So, how exactly do smart blinds, shades, and shutters operate? What are the advantages and options? Here is a summary.

What do smart blinds, shades, and shutters mean?

In essence, it refers to a situation where digital devices are set up that let you mechanically open, close, or modify your shutters, shades, or blinds without having to be in the same room.

Simple remote controls that let you change your window coverings with a button are at one end of the scale. On the other end of the spectrum is full PowerView Motorization, which allows you to set timers and other parameters on a device to control how your window coverings open, close, or adjust. This can be crucial in protecting your furnishings and maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home. It’s also excellent for security when you’re out for the evening or on holiday.

What kinds of blinds, shades, and shutters can I motorize?

A wide range of products from the New View Blinds and Shutters line, including blinds, shades, and shutters, can have their operation motorized and automated. Ask your New View Blinds and Shutters consultant if automation is an option for the particular window coverings you want to be installed.

What kinds of automation exist?

You have a variety of alternatives when it comes to automating your window coverings. These consist of:

Hunter Douglas PowerView Motorization

You may precisely operate several different Hunter Douglas products with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Motorization. You can tilt or transverse your shades or blinds and move your window coverings up and down. You may access PowerView Motorization via the PowerView app, which can be downloaded on your smartphone, or one of the stylish Pebble remote controls. You can design unique “scenes” for different areas of your house using the app and schedule automated changes to these “scenes” at any time.

Simplicity solar-powered motorized blinds and shades

The Simplicity solar-powered motorization uses the sun’s energy to run the ColorLux Shades motor. It combines all the advantages of a genuinely energy-efficient solution with the convenience of home automation. The Simplicity solar-powered motor, created and developed by Comfortex, is run by a 12v DC battery recharged by sunlight. A discrete solar panel that may be oriented for maximum energy collection—which varies from home to home—is a feature of the motor’s simple integrated design. It needs a few hours of sunlight daily to charge and may be placed without an electrician.

Why smart blinds, shades, and shutters are a benefit.

Motorized blinds, shades, and shutters reduce your energy use

With automation, you can ensure that your window coverings are opened, closed, or tilted during the best time of day for thermal control. Depending on the season, you can pre-set specific hours or even activate adjustments based on the weather.

Motorized blinds, shades, and shutters add convenience

You can avoid the inconvenience of manually opening and shutting each window covering every day by using automated window coverings. This is especially helpful when you leave the house early, arrive late, or travel on vacation.

Motorized blinds, shades, and shutters add comfort

You may also improve the temperature and comfort of your rooms by automating the window coverings so that they are warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

Motorized blinds, shades, and shutters add security

Automating your window coverings has many security advantages, including making it appear like someone is home while you’re gone for a long time.
