What exactly is easy home automation? Easy home automation, also known as smart home technology or connected home, generally refers to devices, appliances, systems, etc., that interconnect via a common network. These devices can be remotely controlled individually, as well as in unison.
Did you know that even your window blinds and shades can be motorized and automated? In this post, we’ll dive into 3 ways automated blinds can make your life better!
Utilize the SelectConnect Bridge for Automation
With the SelectConnect Bridge, you can pair and control SelectBlinds motorized window coverings* via app or voice assistant with this smart hub device.
The SelectConnect Bridge is compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Siri Shortcuts and SmartThings. Plus, it works with many custom home integration systems, like Control4, Savant and Creston.
Enjoy unified control of up to 30 SelectBlinds shades* in a 2,500 sq. foot home, or pair multiple bridges together to cover a larger area and more automatic blinds at a time.
3 Advantages of Easy Home Automation
Our automated window shades bring together sophisticated design, smart technology, and unparalleled convenience to adapt to your lifestyle. Easy home automation allows you to:
- Maximize Home Security: Manage your privacy and peace of mind by programming your blinds to open and close at specific time. This helps give off the appearance that you’re home when you may be traveling. Even if you’re simply off to work, if you aren’t sure that you closed the blinds, you can check and raise and lower your window coverings no matter where you are! As long as the SelectConnect Bridge is connected to WiFi and power, you can operate your motorized shades through the Bond Home app.
- Increase Energy Efficiency: Customizable schedules allow you to optimize energy efficiency. On top of your smart thermostat settings, you can raise your blinds to warm up your home with natural light and lower them to avoid direct sunlight and UV rays from entering. Your personalized schedules are backed up with smart home automation and can operate with or without Wifi connection. You can operate and schedule each motorized shade individually or collectively.
- Easily Incorporate New Appliances and Devices: It’s easy to add a brand-new SelectBlinds shade to the Bond Home app. Plus, the SelectConnect Bridge is compatible with variety of SelectBlinds window treatments* so you can manage light and privacy in style with a variety of colors and fabrics. Ensure that your custom-made window coverings are as beautiful as they are functional!
