Let's start with the basics: a smart interior 

You may well have heard the term 'smart home' before – it is a concept that has become increasingly popular in recent times. Smart interiors consist of various automated devices, preferably connected to one other, and save you a lot of time and effort. With smart window coverings, you no longer have to get up to close the blinds yourself, as this can be automated.  

While this has traditionally been the domain of smart tech specialists in the past, the world's major technology brands have all since developed their own systems for smart homes. Google, Apple and Amazon are the biggest players in this field, with all three having developed a voice assistant that allows you to control your smart window coverings not just through apps, but with your voice. 

When you opt for smart window coverings, these products work seamlessly and securely with other smart technologies such as lighting, thermostats, motion detectors and more. All accessories with Internet compatibility can also be connected to each other. Together, they form an integral part of your smart home ecosystem. Smart interiors enable smart devices to work together. This can even be done autonomously and requires no action from you – ensuring maximum comfort! 

The three most significant benefits of smart window coverings 

•  Security 
  Your home's security is improved. Automated window coverings ensure your home always looks inhabited to put off prospective burglars. In addition, smart window coverings do not feature a chain, making them child-safe.  
   
•  Energy-saving
  Automation saves a lot of energy in your smart interior, as the blinds are only used when necessary. 
   
•  Comfort 
  Automation eliminates manual operation, even though it is still possible thanks to the pull function. The app or remote control means you no longer have to get up to close your blinds.  

The ideal app for smart window coverings 

The Motionblinds app takes controlling your window coverings to the next level. Together with the Wi-Fi bridge, the mobile app unlocks endless possibilities for controlling window coverings via your smartphone, and you can use the Motionblinds app to programme and automate your window coverings to fit your daily routine. 

Operate multiple blinds at once with a single swipe. Automate your home with preset scenes, modes and timers. Control your indoor climate to save energy. Find the right balance between daylight, security and privacy. Check the exact position and the condition of the batteries in your electric blinds in the app. The Motionblinds app works with all Motionblinds motors offering remote control operation.
