When it comes to controlling your shades or blinds, it does not get any easier than using motorization. Motorized shades lack lift cords, which makes raising and lowering them simpler for everyone. Especially people with limited mobility and kids. The lack of lift cords also makes motorized shades a safer option for homes with young children and pets.
The most basic type of motorization involves the raising and lowering of shades with a wand instead of lift cords. How this works is that you move the shades by gently pulling down or pushing up on the wand. Motorized smart shades provide more functionality than shades motorized with a wand, as well as offer more benefits. Here are 4 common benefits you get when you use motorized smart shades in your home or office.
1) More Convenient
Having a motorized operating system allows users to raise and lower the shades with just the press of a button on a remote, a tap on a mobile device, or by using your own voice. It is also more convenient because you can schedule shades to move automatically, whenever you want them to, and to the exact level you want.
2) Increased Privacy
Due to the ease of control with motorized smart shades, you will always have the privacy you need. Exactly when you need it. No attempting to shuffle through settings or even the need to get up to close them.
3) Enhanced Security
When you go away or are simply out for the night, you can schedule your shades to raise and lower at specific times of the day or night. Giving your home the illusion that someone is home. Couple this with lights on it the house and you are golden.
4) More Energy Efficient
Shades are a nice way to improve the overall energy efficiency of your home. This happens by blocking rays from heating up your home in the summer, as well as helping to prevent the loss of heat in the winter. Smart shades also can save you the hassle of manually adjusting them, since you can create schedules for automatically moving shades up and down at the right times of the day. So you do not even have to remember to move them, since you can set it up in advance.
