What are Smart Blinds?<\/h2>\n
Smart blinds<\/a> are window coverings with a gearbox and a \u201cbrain.\u201d They connect to an app on your phone or a remote control through WiFi or Bluetooth. \u201cSmart\u201d means you can open or close blinds and shades on a schedule or via voice or app commands (\u201cAlexa, please plunge me in darkness.\u201d). In some cases, you can integrate the thermostat and sunlight, allowing a single command (\u201cI’m awake\u201d) to raise the blinds and turn up the heat. With a tap of the finger or a voice command, you can open or close the blinds no matter where you are!
\n<\/a><\/p>\nHow Do You Control Them?<\/h3>\n
![\"How](\"https:\/\/www.blindschalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/smart-blinds-how-they-wrk-300x300.png\")
In addition to using a remote control, you can use an app such as Apple HomeKit (Siri), Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to schedule when your blinds open or close throughout the day. For example, if your East-facing windows get blinding sun in the morning, you can time it so they close in the mornings and open up in the afternoons. Easy automation allows you to use the app to create schedules adapted to your routine scheduling on time or relative to the sun. Block or let light into your house to create the perfect ambiance by setting a schedule for a specific time or day or at sunrise\/sunset with or without a time delay. For energy efficiency, automate your blinds to block the direct sunlight, and less air-conditioning will be necessary to freshen up your home. Set a schedule to open your blinds 30 minutes before the sunset and enjoy the view.
\n<\/a><\/p>\nAre They All The Same?<\/h3>\n
Smart blinds<\/a> come in a variety of styles. You can get cloth roller blinds, blinds with wooden slats or heat trapping honeycomb-style blinds. As with regular blinds, you can purchase smart blinds in a diverse selection of colors, fabrics and finishes to match your decor.
\n<\/a><\/p>\nKey Features of Smart Blinds<\/h3>\n
There are three major features to look for when purchasing smart blinds:
\n1. First, decide the type of light filtering you need. Do you need blinds that are just thick enough to block some light, or blackout shades that can turn a room completely dark?<\/p>\n2. Second, for voice automation, go with a blind that works with your favorite assistant<\/a>, such as Apple HomeKit (Siri), Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.<\/p>\n
3. Finally, see if the shades can be hardwired into your electrical system, run on batteries, or are solar. Hardwired shades are handy because you never need to worry about the batteries dying.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, solar- or battery-powered shades will work during a power outage.
\nWhen ordering blinds for the first time, don\u2019t forget \u2013 you must order a remote control and a hub.
\n<\/a><\/p>\nThe Hubs \u2013 Which One Is Right For You?<\/h3>\n
Maybe you\u2019ve heard of motorized blinds, but you\u2019re not yet convinced that they\u2019ll bring significant value to your home. If that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s time to start thinking beyond the idea that automated shades are only useful for covering your windows.
\nAside from adding tasteful aesthetic appeal to your living spaces, motorized window treatments offer fine-tuned lighting control, temperature control, privacy, energy savings, and an array of other benefits. Precise control of your shades is simple because you can set the blinds to the exact level you want using a smartphone app, handheld remote, or tablet.
