Your Smartphone
If your motorized shades are integrated with a smart home automation system you can easily control your window treatments through a mobile app on your smartphone. You can adjust shades in a specific room or on your entire property with just the tap of a button. Controlling your shades from your smartphone is convenient when you’re not home or don’t want to get up when you’re comfortable and want to adjust your window treatments.
Voice Control
Voice control is one of the most popular smart home technology tools homeowners are bringing into their homes. Fortunately, popular motorized shades often integrate with voice control assistants like Amazon Alexa. This gives you the power to enjoy hands-free control from any space in your home where there’s a nearby voice control device.
You can ask your voice control assistant to lower the bedroom shades, open the living room shades, or even set your media room shades to 50 percent. Voice control is a great option for when your hands are full, or you aren’t near your smartphone.
On-Wall Keypads
Would you prefer to control your shades with traditional on-wall controls? No problem! On-wall keypads work well when you’re entering or leaving a room and give guests who don’t have access to your automation system the option to adjust window shades easily.
On-wall keypads don’t have to stick out like a sore thumb. Many manufacturers like Lutron offer keypads that can be personalized for your unique style and taste. They can even integrate with your smart thermostat and lighting control!
Preset Schedules
Many homeowners love the “set it and forget it” option that comes along with preset schedules. If your daily routine is usually the same every day, why not just set your motorized shades to a schedule and completely offload the task from needing to be done every day? They’ll rise and lower at predetermined times, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
