Are you curious about what can be done with Motionblinds electric blinds in your situation, or do you have any other questions? Our experts are more than happy to help, so contact us to find out more! 

Benefit 1: You no longer need to stand up 

This sounds very lazy, of course, but it is true that you no longer need to get out of your chair, sofa or bed to raise or lower your blinds. A tip from us: don't see that as a reason to do as little as possible; use the time you save to get more done.  

As an example, you can quickly operate your Motionblinds using a remote control or the app while you are working, so you don't lose your concentration. Perhaps you have even paired a voice assistant, so you just have to say what you want the blinds to do. 

Benefit 2: You can keep the sunlight out 

It is nice to have enough light in your room or office, but you shouldn't overdo it. Especially when there are monitors in the room, as you often want to keep direct sunlight out. That's easy with Motionblinds electric blinds. 

You can even set the times when the window coverings automatically raise and lower, so you no longer have to think about it. This is good for you and your furniture, as the UV rays in the sunlight can cause your furniture and wallpaper to fade. 

Benefit 3: You can control the temperature 

You want to keep your home cool in the summer, don't you? We all love the sun, but only when it feels good. When the room gets too warm from all that sunlight, it is no longer so nice. When the temperature rises sharply in the summer, it is time to put the blackout blinds to work. Lower them to block the heat of the sun.  

If it's cold outside, your Motionblinds have an insulating effect. The warmth stays in when your window coverings are closed, and the cold stays out better. This way, your window coverings also help you save energy. 

Benefit 4: You can operate them the way you want 

The name electric blinds already says what we're talking about here. There is an electric motor inside, so you don't have to operate them manually. But how do you want to operate them? You can choose from various types of control, so there's always a way that suits you: 

• Remote 
  A remote control is a convenient way to operate blinds. Simply indicate where you want to position your window coverings, and they go there. 
• App 
  After you download the app to your smartphone, you can operate your window coverings with one click. 

• Voice 
  A voice assistant has become indispensable for real smart home fans. You can use voice commands to effortlessly control your Motionblinds.  

Benefit 5: You can also make your home smart 

Nowadays, you can't ignore it when it comes to your interior: smart homes are on the rise. If you like everything in your home to work together automatically, our blinds are a good option for you. Using the Motionblinds app, you can easily operate the window coverings from your smartphone. With the Wi-Fi bridge, you can even open and close your blinds with voice commands. That's truly a smart home! 

Go for simple, user-friendly operation of your window coverings. Just swipe and you can control multiple blinds at the same time. Do you prefer to automate your entire interior with predefined scenes, settings and timers? Whether you're using Apple HomeKit, Google Home or Amazon Alexa, you can do it all. Motionblinds work perfectly with all of these systems. Installation is easy, even if you're not technically minded. It's also good to know that Apple users do not need a hub. 

Benefit 6: You can outsmart burglars 

Automating your electric blinds gives you a major advantage: it discourages burglars. After all, they will think twice about trying to break in if they see something move. This way, your Motionblinds also deter burglars.
