Transform Your Home with Smart Home Automation & Motorised Blinds
The UK’s specialist for motorised window coverings seamlessly integrated with your home automation system, from Control4 to Crestron, Rako and beyond.
What is Home Automation, and How Does It Work?
A key feature in all modern homes is automation. This technology provides the ability to control heating, lighting, security, and window coverings via mobile devices, voice control, and automated schedules. These home features are utilised every day; therefore, it is highly beneficial to invest in having these automated for convenience and efficiency.
Automated blinds in your home are a complete life changer. They remove the need to manually open your window coverings each morning and close them at night. While this may initially seem like a luxury, once you have experienced motorised blinds integrated with a smart home automation system, you will never look back.
Whether you are looking for a simple remote control or full integration with complex home automation systems in the UK, motorised blinds are one of the most impactful upgrades you can make to your property.
Why Integrate Your Blinds with Your Smart Home System?
- Wake-up Scenes: Program your blinds to open automatically with your morning alarm, waking you gently with natural light.
- Energy Efficiency: Set blinds to close automatically during peak summer heat or retain warmth during winter evenings.
- Privacy Scheduling: Ensure privacy without lifting a finger by scheduling your blinds to close exactly at dusk every day.
- Voice Control: Compatible with Alexa, Google Home, and Siri for effortless hands-free operation.
- Security When Away: Simulate occupancy with random opening and closing schedules to deter burglars when you’re on holiday.
- Child Safety: Motorised blinds are inherently cordless, making them the safest option for homes with children and pets.
