Smart Curtain Controllers for Smarter Living
We’re all familiar with using curtains to help keep the sun’s glare out and give us the necessary privacy to be comfortable in our own homes. Smart curtains have taken the simple concept of a curtain to a whole other level. Smart curtain controllers automate your privacy and comfort, but they can also help reduce energy bills throughout the year. In fact, there are many great benefits that smart curtains can offer.
​​
-
Convenience – When you think of smart curtains, their most obvious benefit is that you can open and close them by simply hitting a button. This is particularly helpful for homes where there are many curtains that need to be raised or lowered at a time. Additionally, a smart curtain controller can help make life more comfortable for those with mobility issues who would otherwise struggle to open or close their existing curtains.
-
Energy Efficient – The natural light from the sun can be great for heating your home in the wintertime. However, in the summer, that same sunlight can wreak havoc on the temperature inside your home. Having the ability to effortlessly control when your curtains are open or closed can allow you the freedom to capitalize on natural sunlight when necessary and block it out when needed. Just imagine taking advantage of lower energy bills for both the winter and summer seasons.
-
Automation – A popular feature of an Aqara smart curtain controller is the ability to optimize your curtain usage based on a set schedule. For example, you can set your curtains to open at sunrise during the winter months to let the direct sunlight in as early as possible. You can even enjoy the benefit of waking up to natural sunlight. Even better, you can program your curtains to come down at dark to provide you with much-needed privacy during the night-time hours.
-
Aqara System Integration – The Aqara smart curtain controller can be easily integrated into your existing smart home system. This means that you can program your other household systems, like your lights, to change their settings when your curtains move. For example, you can program your smart lights to increase in brightness whenever your curtains go down.
