7 Ways to Automate Your Motorized Window Shades

21 April 2023

Schedule Your Shades to Lower at the Perfect Time

Upgrading to motorized shades is like going from air-drying clothes to owning a dryer. Once you experience the convenience of motorized window shades, it’s hard to go back to regular blinds. 

But maybe you’re wondering: how often will I really use motorized shades? That’s a fair question, and a common one we get from our customers in Newtown Square, PA. 

Below, we share seven times a day motorized blinds will assist in your daily routine and save time.

1. Start Your Day with the Sun 

With a smart lighting system like Lutron, you can schedule many shades to rise automatically in the morning, so you start the day with natural light. 

2. Mimic an Occupied House 

If the house will be empty all day, program shades to rise and lower sporadically. Sync them with smart lights, and it will look like someone is always home.

3. Get the Perfect Office Lighting 

Work from home? If it’s mid-afternoon and the sun is beaming across your face or computer screen, a quick tap of a button will lower the shades. 

4. Golden Hour at Dinnertime 

Set the mood for a lovely dinner by automating shades to rise at your usual meal time. 

5. Block Out Light in the Home Theater 

Create an immersive, cinematic experience with motorized blackout shades that eliminate ambient light. 

6. Wardrobe Change 

Changing your outfit after work or going for a swim? Motorized shades make it easy to raise and lower the blinds quickly. 

7. Say Goodnight with Smart Shades 

With one command on your smart home app or wall keypad, lower every shade in the house for nighttime privacy and restfulness.
