Motorization & Light Control

Custom window treatments make your home safer, more energy-efficient, pleasant, and beautiful.

But did you know that motorization and smart light control also offer huge advantages? It’s more than a matter of saving a few calories when you operate your blinds from the couch.

We can automate your new window treatments to work with the lights, smart thermostat, Amazon Echos, and anything else connected.

Benefits of Motorized Window Coverings

  1. Convenience: Control motorized shades, blinds, or drapes remotely with the touch of a button. This is especially useful for large or hard-to-reach windows.
  2. Comfort: Automatically adjust light levels in a room for the perfect ambiance and temperature control.
  3. Energy Efficiency: Program your automated window coverings to open and close at specific times of the day to maximize natural light and heat gain in the winter, and block excess sunlight in the summer.
  4. More Privacy: Easily maintain privacy in bedrooms and bathrooms with a voice command.
  5. Security: Set your motorized window coverings to open and close at random intervals while you’re away from home, creating the appearance of an occupied residence.
  6. Child and Pet Safety: Eliminate the risk of cords and strings, and make your window treatments safer for children and pets.
  7. Smart Integration: Integrate your motorized window coverings with smart home platforms, and coordinate their control with other devices like lighting, thermostats, and security systems.

Benefits of Smart Light Control

  1. Convenience: Remotely control bright lighting via smartphones, tablets, or voice commands, adjusting brightness and creating lighting scenes with ease.
  2. Energy Efficiency: Schedule your lighting to reduce energy consumption, and automatically turn off or dim the lights when rooms are unoccupied.
  3. Customization: Build lighting scenes to create a mood. For example, “movie night” might have dimmed lights for a relaxed atmosphere.
  4. Security: Integrate bright lighting with security systems and motorized window coverings to create the illusion of occupancy when you’re away.
  5. Health and Wellbeing: Install tunable white smart bulbs to adjust color temperature throughout the day, supporting circadian rhythms and enhancing sleep by simulating natural daylight.
  6. Voice Control: Control lights with voice commands. Our smart systems are compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and more.
  7. Dimming Control: Smart dimmer switches offer precise control over the brightness level, creating the right ambiance for different occasions and activities.
  8. Remote Monitoring: Remotely check the status of lights, receive notifications, and troubleshoot issues.
