The Benefits of Smart Blinds
By Ana Zuravliova
In an increasingly connected world, the role of smart home devices is inexorably on the rise. With smart fridges, lights and speakers, our homes are smarter than ever before. While many of these devices are found in specific spaces in the home, smart blinds are a great upgrade for any room! In this blog, we’ll be exploring the practical benefits of smart blinds and how you can apply technology and convenience to your window dressings for less than you might expect
What are smart blinds?
Quick and easy to fit and then set up, smart blinds are an unparalleled way of adding luxury and convenience to any room in the home. Their simplicity of design means anyone can install them without any DIY experience or an electrician.
Moreover, multiple smart blinds can be controlled from a single remote with just a touch of a button. This allows you to enjoy optimum light control in your living spaces with effortless ease. You can improve the experience even further by adding a Somfy TaHoma Switch or Somfy Connectivity Kit. With either of these add ons, you can maximise the convenience and functionality of your electric blinds, enjoying further comfort and improved security, but more on those later.
With plenty of benefits available for your home, the only remaining question is, “what styles are smart blinds available in?”

Other benefits of smart blinds
Security is a high priority for all of us, and smart blinds will help you to bolster your home’s safety. Having smart blinds as part of your smart home enables you to schedule opening and close timers when you are away from home, whether overnight or while on vacation, to create the impression that your home is occupied!
Furthermore, automated scheduling of smart blinds further enhances the energy efficiency of a home, as blinds can adapt to the changing sunlight throughout the day. To automate your smart blinds, you simply need to add a TaHoma Switch. A Somfy TaHoma Switch lets you benefit from a fully customisable system, where you can create your own routines and control them with simplicity.
Controlled via a smart control, app or voice, a Somfy TaHoma Switch will revolutionise your home for less than you might expect.
