Smart Home: The Need for Tech

Our homes have become so much more to us in recent months–a workplace, a college dorm, maybe even a yoga studio. With so many people at home together, it can seem that the walls are closing in and there is less room for privacy. No matter what your new normal has become, in 2020 we understand the importance of technology now more than ever.  A smarter home is a better home.

Controlled Space

Chaos has taken on a new meaning these days, with kids, spouses and pets all trying to find their own private space. Sometimes it can feel out of our control. How can we accommodate everyone’s needs in our home with no more square footage than before? The answer lies in smart home technology.  No need to add an addition to your home, with smart home window treatments we can transform our space by the touch of a button.  Here’s how…

Take your kitchen for example–Command Central. The most popular room in the house has remained a favorite spot for our kids to set up their school work and for moms and dads to respond to work emails. But does the afternoon sun seem to chase everyone away in search of another spot to work?  This everyday situation can wreak havoc and disturb an otherwise peaceful daily routine. With smart shades you can schedule blinds to close at the perfect time to remove ‘screen glare’ and make the atmosphere comfortable for little (and big) learners. No interrupted learning time in this kitchen.

What’s your Scenario?

Whether you are working from home for the first time or finding your ‘at home” routine disrupted, adding automated window treatments can help in any scenario. Working the overnight shift was manageable when everyone else was at school or work during the day but now it can be difficult to get the rest you need. By adding room darkening shades with automation, your bedroom is dark and ready for you when you get home. While your space in the home has transformed into the atmosphere you desire, your family can move about their day without interruption. Now go get some rest.

A New Routine

Wake up, get to the gym, grab a coffee, waive to your neighbor–we find comfort in routine and understand the importance of keeping a schedule for our mental health. How can we create a smart home that also promotes a healthy lifestyle? Automated window treatments make it easy. By controlling the rise and fall of shades and blinds throughout your home, you can create an atmosphere that is intuitive and helps prompt your family to move onto their next activity. Set blinds to open early in the morning during the work week and a bit later on the weekends.

The innovation doesn’t stop there. Having the ability to customize each space in your home down to the minute helps in ways we are still discovering. You could create a warm sunny spot for your pet to doze off or darken the family room early for an impromptu movie theatre experience.  With your imagination and the help of PowerView® technology, your home comes alive!
