Using an app to manage your technology is a cool part of living in a smart home. But when it comes to shades, it can really be a necessity. A lot of houses have hard-to-reach windows that can only be accessed by a ladder, and who wants to get on one every time they want to close the blinds? With smart window treatments, you can open an app on your smartphone and simply press one button to close or open the shades.
You can even schedule them to open and close throughout the day according to specific times and days. Keep the solar shades down during the day to save energy and then draw the blackout shades later in the evening when you want absolute privacy. More control brings added peace of mind.
