Smart Blinds and Energy Efficiency: Saving Money and the Environment

 Smart Blinds  are window coverings that have a motorized system that allows them to be opened or closed without you manually doing so. They generally connect to an app on your smartphone or can be controlled through a voice command. They can also be connected to a smart home system for additional automation.

Variety of styles and colors to fit any decor or mood

They come in a variety of styles and colors to fit any decor or mood. They can be hard wired into your home's wiring, or they can operate on battery power.





The biggest draw of Smart Blinds is that they can be controlled by an app on your phone, or through a voice command. They can also automatically open and close based on sun exposure, temperature or other factors, which is great for maximizing energy efficiency in your home.

Several major companies sell automated smart blinds, including Eve, Lutron, Somfy, Pella, and even IKEA. These products come in a range of designs and styles, and they can be operated using an app on your smartphone or by voice commands to a virtual assistant.

Smart blinds are hard-wired into your house's electrical system

Some smart blinds are hard-wired into your house's electrical system, while others use Zigbee or Z-Wave technology to communicate with your home's smart hub and other devices. The former are the more expensive, and you'll likely have to spend a few extra dollars on wiring them into your smart home.

You can get them in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from classic roller shades to more modern honeycomb styles. They're available in over 150 fabric, color and opacity options. Some also support geofencing technology, which can be used to automate your blinds based on your daily routine.

One of the most popular brands of smart blinds is Serena by Lutron, which offers totally customizable blinds in a variety of fabrics and styles with features like Natural Light OptimizationTM that adjust the tilt of each individual blind based on the sun's position throughout the day. They also work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit and Samsung SmartThings to control your blinds with a voice command.

Serena smart blinds come in a variety of colors and styles

The Serena smart blinds come in a variety of colors and styles, and they can be customized with a free Lutron app that lets you set multi-window scenes for ideal lighting, create custom moods, or set schedules to automatically open or close your blinds. They also have a Morning Mode that opens your blinds slowly and quietly to get your home ready for the morning.

They're not as cheap as other smart blinds on the market, but they are worth it for their functionality and quality. If you have a small budget, these are an excellent way to save on energy costs while improving your home's comfort and convenience.

Conclusion

These ribbed, semi-transparent shades are designed for privacy and can be controlled by the smartphone app. They have similar functionality to other smart blinds on the market, but you can't set them to close during the night or to black out your room.
