Imagine you have 4 windows in your Master Bedroom. You like to open the shades at sunrise. Set up & name the room: Master Bedroom. For time schedule, use the sunrise setting. The program will automatically adjust to the time of sunrise. More specifically, the actual time of day can be set. Then, on the back end, set up a time schedule to close the shades. If you don’t want to raise/lower all of the shades, just select each shade individually or group them as desired. The app will guide you through the process. Multiple rooms can be added along with multiple time schedules. If you’re familiar with Nest or IFTTT, we can integrate with either platform.
If you travel or have a busy schedule, set the days and times to raise and lower your shades or tilt your blinds. If you’re at work when the sun is on the west side of your home, set the time to close those window coverings. This feature helps with your energy bills. If you’re out of town, program the window coverings to open and close at your designated times giving the appearance that you’re home. You may choose to run different schedules for each day of the week.
For those intimidated by this technology, I assure you it’s easier than you think. If you can use your Smart Phone or tablet, you can do this…OR just consult with any teenager. Just think how convenient it will be to operate those hard to reach windows with Smart Technology!
