Motorized Window Blinds
The article goes on to enumerate the benefits of motorized window blinds for each room in the house. For example, motorized blinds in the bedroom can be programmed to open at the time the user is ready to rise and shine. In addition, living room blinds can be controlled via smartphone to open and close when the homeowner is absent.
Motorized window blinds also conserve energy by keeping out sunlight during the summer months and by letting in sunlight during the winter months, thus reducing the work of air conditioners and heaters. According to a November 25, 2015, article in IEEE Spectrum, motorized window blinds “could save energy, particularly if the shades are coordinated with lights, thermostats, or sensors that recognize when it’s getting too hot. And automated shades could improve home security, by simulating occupancy when residents are away.”
As you can see, the pluses of motorized window blinds are many. Existing window blinds can be easily automated, and many are conveniently battery operated. With the benefits of increasing convenience, saving money on the electric bill, and promoting home security, motorized window blinds are definitely the way to go!
