3 Useful Ways to Automate Your Motorized Shades

3 Useful Ways to Automate Your Motorized Shades

Make Your Shades Work for You without Lifting a Finger 

The main goal of adding smart home technology should be to facilitate your lifestyle. Motorized shades are a great example. You can use remotes, on-wall keypads or mobile apps to adjust shades instead of dealing with complicated (and often dangerous) wands and cords. When a glare starts showing on your TV, you’ll be able to get rid of it without getting off the couch. 

But what if you could reduce your work even further by automating your shades? When you need window treatments to go up or down, they do so based on sensors or a set schedule. All without you lifting a finger. This blog highlights three of the most common ways to automate your motorized shades for greater comfort and safety in your Basking Ridge, NJ, home. We can also incorporate additional automated features based on your lifestyle!

Wake Up Refreshed with the Sunrise 

What’s a better way to wake up than with soft sunlight streaming into your bedroom? Schedule your shades to rise to let sunlight in when it’s time to wake. This light will trigger your wake-up cycle and ease you out of sleep by releasing cortisol. Compared to a traditional alarm clock, this gentler wake-up approach reduces grogginess and improves alertness throughout the day. We recommend supporting this automated scene with tunable lighting that mimics sunlight, so you keep reaping the benefits on cloudy days or dark winter ones. 

Keep the Summer Heat at Bay 

A theme you’ll find here is motorized shades automation working with the rest of your technology. In this case, your shades support the work of your climate control. Integrate special honeycomb shades designed to trap heat and have them automatically close during the hottest parts of the day to cool the space while using up less energy. Do this via schedules or photo sensors, which command shades to close when hit by direct sunlight. Reverse this ‘scene’ in the winter and use those same honeycomb shades to trap heat inside to optimize your heating.

Protect Your Home When Away 

Automation also works in conjunction with your security. There are two ways you can use automated scenes when you’re away. A daily “Away” scene closes the shades to protect your privacy whenever you leave the house. There are also “Vacation” modes for when you plan to be away for longer. These open and close shades to simulate activity while you’re away to dissuade any intruders from targeting your unoccupied space.



Embrace the perks of hands-off control for your motorized shades! Automated scenes do the hard work for you, so you get the ultimate comfort year-round.
