You can automate your blinds to close automatically when it rains, shade the home in the summer and warm the home up by opening when the sun is out! Not only does this help with temperature control but also your mental health. A lot of homeowners can benefit from instantly opening their homes to natural light with the use of motorised shades.
Natural light and sunshine are proven to improve moods, sleep, and overall health and with motorised shades, you can control your blinds to open from the minute the sun rises. You are in complete control, by automating your blinds this way, and means you can essentially make small savings and provide some help with energy bills in the long run. Smart!
Whilst we do supply and install Somfy’s range of smart blinds, you would need to invest in the Tahoma Smart Home to get set up, this is only required should you wish to automate your home. Our motorised blinds are an independent product that can be controlled via app and remote control meaning they can be used without a smart hub.
