Are Automated Shades Worth It?

If we bought everything on impulse without doing a little research beforehand, we would have a whole lot of something that we might not end up liking! Can the stove you’re eyeing preheat with the tap of a button from your phone? Can the makeup foundation you adore hold up in humidity? Are automated shades worth it?

While we might not know much about ovens or makeup, we do know a lot about automated shades, including whether or not they are worth your time and money. The short answer? 100% yes. The long answer? Scroll to find out all the pros of this innovative system!

Do You Like Convenience?

If you like making your life a little bit easier (which, honestly, who doesn’t?), then the answer to the question of art automated shades worth it is a resounding yes. With PowerView® Automation, you can schedule your window treatments to open, close, and adjust at a specific time each day. This means you never have to worry about adjusting your shades throughout the day, lose time on busy days shutting your blinds before work, or worry that you left your shades open before a vacation.

PowerView® Automation can be operated in real-time or ahead of time anywhere in the world. You can schedule your shades via the PowerView® App on your smartphone or tablet or by connecting your PowerView® Automation to your favorite smart-home system; you can also use your voice and tell Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and more to set a schedule.

Do You Like Security?

Another reason why we recommend PowerView® Automation is that it provides an added layer of security to your home. If you are gone for an extended period of time from your home, PowerView® Automation will lift and lower your shades throughout the day to make it seem like someone is home. This will deter possible thieves from trying to enter your home, as it will look like the house is bustling.

Do You Like Comfort?

Rare is it for a homeowner to like being uncomfortably hot or cold in their own home. You can set your PowerView® Automation to react based on the rising and setting of the sun.

If it detects an increase in temperature, the system will close your shades to prevent any excess heat from entering your home. If the temperature drops below a certain point, your shades will open to let in some warming rays. This keeps your home comfortable naturally all year long.
