Simplified Convenience & Comfort

We mentioned above that motorized shades are beneficial for concealing the sun – and they truly do ensure that the sun doesn’t intrude on any occasion where it isn’t welcome! Keep your movie viewing dark and dimly lit by lowering blackout shades at the tap of a button on your smart device or set your system to lower sheer shades automatically throughout the house, protecting your interiors from the harsh sun.

Then, when you’re ready to bask in the sun’s natural glow when it is at its most enjoyable, you can press a button to raise your shades up slightly or all the way. Incorporating a schedule to follow the sun’s patterns can not only help keep your circadian rhythm on track but also help insulate your home when needed and save you energy.

Stylish & Minimal

When you bring motorized shades from Lutron into your home, you know you’re going to get the best in style and décor. Lutron’s shading products come in a variety of models – any of which have a place in any area of your home or to match your selected room’s theme.

Pick among a vast selection of fabrics, patterns, and colors to create a custom window treatment that can either enhance your existing surroundings or blend in seamlessly with minimal impact – except to make your daily at-home routine easier for you and your whole family.

Improved Privacy & Security

While not what you might consider a traditional component of a smart home security system, motorized shades can still contribute to the privacy and protection of your property. Shading can provide additional privacy while you're relaxing at home, with sheer shades that still give you a nice view of the outdoors but conceal your interiors. These shades let you look out but don't let passersby look into where you're relaxing or going about your day.

Then, when you leave for work or on vacation, you can set your security system to “Away” and have your motorized shades and lighting operate as they would throughout the day – as though you were home! This “mockupancy” setting will fool potential burglars into thinking your house is occupied, and they’ll steer clear. As a result, your smart home will stay safe and sound while you’re away and until you return!
