Smart shading is one of the most popular automated systems, with more people than ever drawn to them for their simple convenience. No matter where you are in your home or the world, one tap on a touchscreen or mobile device, and one or every shade raises or lowers. 

No more getting up from the couch or office chair when the sun's glare washes out the TV or computer screen. When it's time for dinner, press a button and close every shade for privacy. If you forgot to close the blinds before leaving for a long weekend, one touch on your smartphone does it for you.

This feature is especially valuable in homes with large floor-to-ceiling windows or hard-to-reach skylights and architectural windows. When the sun's direct rays start heating up a room or begin to fade floors and furniture, you can close your custom-designed window coverings effortlessly.

There is, however, a feature they possess that's even more essential to a luxurious lifestyle than one-touch control. Smart shades can be programmed to adjust on their own, triggered by the time of day or a specific condition. Now, you don't even have to press a button to enjoy the ideal level of natural light. 

Let's explore what this automated technology offers your home in Denver, CO.

Smart Shades Automated to Time

There's no better way to wake up than to the sun's first light. Automated shades make this inspiring event an everyday affair, raising at a scheduled time and automatically adjusting as the seasons change. Shades covering your west-facing windows can be scheduled to open just before the sun sets and close after dusk. 

Adjusting Based on Temperature

Sensors tell your smart shades when direct sunlight enters the windows, increasing the temperature and bringing UV rays that can damage your home's interior. In response, the shades lower, protecting your furnishings and reducing heat gain. 

During the cooler months, the blinds take advantage of the sunlight, opening on southern facades and harnessing solar heat.

Continuous Ideal Lighting

When integrated with your electric lights, the shades maintain just the right level of natural light in occupied rooms. When filtered sunlight enters, the lighting dims. When the shades lower, the lights brighten.

Utilizing this daylighting technique reduces the dependency on electric lights and the load on your HVAC system. Sunlight also creates a welcoming environment and boosts hormones associated with happiness and an increase in energy.

Safety and Privacy

Press the 'Goodbye' button when you leave for the day, and every shade automatically lowers. When you're going on vacation, tap 'Away,' and the system creates the illusion that you're home by adjusting the shades and lighting just like when you're present.
