Outdoor Roller Shades

Smart Home Automation Has Increased the Use of Outdoor Roller Shades To Make the Outdoors More Fun!

This is the perfect time to enjoy our outdoor entertaining spaces before the heat of summer descends upon us. When taking advantage of this brief period of moderate weather, the pitfalls of having an open outdoor space become apparent. Many people have patios directly facing the sun so they lose out on several hours outside every day because of the heat and glare of the harsh sunlight. Insects are a major nuisance that deter people from spending time in their outdoor spaces. Outdoor roller shades can solve these problems and can now be automated to smart home platforms including Amazon

Alexa and Google Home providing total home automation. Smart home automation is the leading trend for many people because of the convenience automation creates throughout the home, particularly with window treatments. Automating window treatments is now the standard and the cost of automating window treatments has decreased with the increas- ing demand for automation. Interior and exterior shading products have evolved with the technology especially with outdoor roller shades. Outdoor roller shades can be programmed to roll down at specific times of day or when the temperature reaches a specified limit. They also have a wind sensor that can be programmed to roll them up if the wind is too strong.

As with other smart home products, interior and exterior shading products can be operated from a smart phone. The rising popularity of smart home automation has inspired the industry to utilize the technology with really cool results.

Automated window treatments can operate through digital assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home or as part of a smart home platform like Savant or Control14. Whichever platform is used, automated window treatments can be operated through voice control or through an app on a phone or tablet.

These window treatments can be programmed to raise and lower at certain times of the day to meet personal preferences, temperature continued

and light control needs. When linked to a smart home platform like Savant, automated window treatments operate through the associated software. Preferences also known as scenes are set to raise and lower the window treatments based on temperature, time of day and privacy across all automation platforms.

Technology is always evolving and the results often make our lives easier. Smart home automation is quickly becoming the norm and people are integrating the products they buy including interior and exterior shading products.
