(Newswire.net — December 30, 2020) — Whether you’re preparing a romantic dinner or settling down for a family movie night, the right lighting makes all the difference in your home. One of the easiest ways to achieve that perfect ambiance is with automated shades, which is why you’ll love Lutron shades. With robot vacuums and automated temperature control, our homes are getting smarter and more efficient every year. With the next upgrade for your home, consider adding some high-tech efficiency to your windows with automated blinds. This new technology allows you to easily control every aspect of your shades from just the touch of a button. From anywhere in your home, you can open, close, or adjust your blinds to cut down on glare, save energy, or set just the right mood.

But you may have questions about automated shades: are they costly? Hard to install? What really are the benefits of adding this technology to your home? Here, we take a more in-depth look into just a few of the many reasons why you should consider the Lutron system for your home.

INTUITIVE CONTROLS

Everything in our homes is getting smarter. With today’s technology, you can survey your front door from a webcam, control all your entertainment from a single remote, and even save big on energy costs. Despite these advantages, smart devices in your home can often be overly complicated or confusing to use—not so with Lutron shading systems. With these automated blinds, simplicity is a driving factor in the overall design. Controlling your shades has never been easier as Lutron offers a variety of control options. Pick what works best for your home and your lifestyle. With Lutron, you can choose from a hand-held remote, keypad mounted on any wall, or a tabletop control to lower or raise your blinds.

CONVENIENCE

Earlier versions of automated shades and blinds were often clunky, unsightly, and, worst of all, loud. With innovations in technology, all these inconveniences have become a thing of the past. Modern Lutron shades offer several features making them a more convenient and adaptable part of your home. For one, these automated shades are battery-powered, which means you won’t need to make any costly investments in rewiring your existing set-up. And don’t worry about regularly replacing these batteries. One model from Lutron, the Serena Shades, can run off the same battery for three years before needing replacement. 

Are you tired of tripping over wires in your home? Many Lutron models can be installed entirely wireless and are then controlled by a central, easy-to-use remote. The wireless models tend to cost a little more than the wired ones, but after you factor in wiring costs, they tend to balance out. Wireless automated shades also make your home safer for small children who can trip or get tangled up in excessive wires.

LUTRON SHADES WITH GOOGLE ASSISTANT 

Hey, Google, can you open my shades? Controlling the lighting in your home can be this simple with new Lutron shades that now come integrated with Google Assistant. Multiple Lutron models, including Serena, Triathlon, Sivoia, QS, and Palladiom are the first automated shades to natively link with Google technology, making these blinds even easier to control. You can also use Google to help you manipulate your shades for just the right amount of light. Not sure how to achieve that perfect ambiance? Ask Google about shade levels and Google Assistant can automatically adjust your shades in real-time. Google Assistant also allows you to link up with your mobile device to control any shade in your home from miles away. Already on the road or out on a work trip? No worries. With Lutron shades and Google Assistant, you can still raise, lower, or adjust any shade in your home.

PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE

Your home is a place to gather with friends and family and keep your valuables secure. Many may not realize it, but automated shades can also help preserve your valuable furniture. Without shades, your furniture is exposed to the hot sun all day. For many types of furniture, especially leather, this can be damaging over time and degrade the overall quality. In addition to your furniture, the light of the sun can also damage and deteriorate other aspects of your home, including wood floors, carpeting, and even wallpaper. With automated shades, you can easily control the amount of natural light entering your home and preserve what you care about.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Looking to help save the planet and some money on your next energy bill? Automated shades can help you do both. Natural sunlight is beautiful in the home, but it can also throw off your desired temperature. Solar heat helps warm up your home in the colder months and can pump up your air conditioning costs in the summer. With natural light, it’s all about balance and control and that’s precisely what automated shades offer. Using motorized shades can help regulate the amount of sunlight coming into your home to control this natural form of temperature control. Not only is this important to consider seasonally, but on a daily cycle, as well. Automated blinds allow you to have total control over the lighting in your home, leading to significant savings on your energy bill.

Do you find yourself annoyed by the constant glare on your television? Do you lack privacy in your own home? Can’t set that perfect ambiance in a specific room in your home? With Lutron automated shades, these worries will become a thing of the past as you feel more secure and in control of your home and blinds. Simplify your home, and your life, by considering what Lutron shades can offer. Your home should be a place of comfort, relaxation, and spending time with those you care about. With smart technologies, such as new automated shades, all it takes is the touch of a button to control your home.
