Just imagine... 

It's wintertime. You are still at work and it’s getting late and it's already dark outside. Normally you would be worrying that your home is getting colder and losing heat. Or it’s the hottest day of the year and the sun is beaming in. Now you are worrying that the temperature in your house is reaching boiling point because you left your shades open. 

In the smart world, this would all be different. You would feel safe in the knowledge that your smart home devices are talking to each other. The thermostat and weather station will give a heads up to your Motionblinds that the temperature inside your house is dropping under 19 degrees or rising above 20 degrees. Your smart shades can immediately get to work and close themselves to keep the warmth in or heat out. How great is that? 

Get smart and save energy with Motionblinds 

This idea of smart devices talking to each other is the future of smart and green homes. By 2026, it is estimated that 573.7 million homes and offices in the world will be using smart devices. That’s household penetration hitting 25%, which means that a quarter of homes in the world will be smart. Not only will this be advantageous for safety and convenience, but it will be a huge factor in energy saving. Whether you are at work, have a day out or on holiday, Motionblinds will always open and close when the room hits a certain temperature. By itself! 

Benefits of energy saving smart window coverings: 

• Saves energy through less heating, air conditioning and artificial lighting 
• Acts as an insulation in the winter and sun protection in the summer 
• Makes optimum use of natural daylight so you can save on electricity for lighting 
• Efficiency is maximized as it works when the building is not occupied 

Motionblinds helps towards climate change and reducing CO² emissions 

Motionblinds can make a substantial contribution towards reaching the energy savings objectives of United Nations Paris Agreement, which tackles climate change and its negative impacts. With 192 countries and the EU this agreement marks the beginning of a shift towards a net-zero emissions world. Think of the impact of energy saving in your own home. Now think of the impact of energy saving for all the commercial buildings around the world. Motionblinds is a smart choice – not just financially, but for the planet. Using less energy means a reduction in CO² emissions with less need for cooling units and heating. 

What other tricks does Motionblinds have up its sleeve? 

Great news! Motionblinds motors have an integrated battery that is USB-C rechargeable. Charging the batteries is fast and costs hardly anything. A full charge takes approximately eight hours and you only need to do this once or twice a year at the max. What's more, Eve Motionblinds motors support Thread, the low-power smart home technology that makes batteries last extra-long, through extremely low energy consumption.
