Whether it's waking up slow on a weekend to a beautiful Seattle sunrise or keeping your home cool during a hot Seattle summer day, smart blinds are quickly gaining in popularity thanks to their elegance, convenience, and efficiency. With just a tap on your phone or a voice command, you can automatically raise and lower your blinds to control the light and temperature in your home. Keep reading to learn more about the different motorized blind and shade solutions Seattle Blinds offers for every budget.
Smart blinds, also known as motorized or automatic blinds, can be remotely controlled using a smartphone app, voice assistant, or home automation system. This allows you to open and close your blinds without having to go over to the window and adjust them manually. Smart blinds are integrated with motors, sensors, and artificial intelligence to provide automation, scheduling, and voice control.
There are many benefits to installing smart blinds in your Seattle home:
● Convenience - With just a tap or voice command, you can control your blinds from anywhere in your home. Never worry about getting up to open and close blinds again.
● Energy Efficiency - Smart blinds can help reduce your energy bills. Automatically close blinds during the day to block heat from sunlight and help keep your home cooler. Open blinds when the weather is nice to let natural light in and reduce reliance on artificial lighting. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, having the right window attachments, such as smart blinds, can save up to 30% of energy costs in heating and cooling.
● Privacy & Light Control - Schedule your blinds to automatically adjust throughout the day for privacy and ideal lighting. Keep blinds closed at night for privacy and crack them open in the morning to let in natural light.
● Security - Make your home look occupied while you're away by scheduling blinds to mimic daily opening and closing. This deters potential burglars. You can even automate blind routines when you're on vacation.
● Integration - Smart blinds work with today's smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and more. Voice control your blinds for total convenience.
● Style - Motorized blinds now come in a variety of colors and materials from trusted brands to match your home's style. Experience the perfect blend of fashion and function.
