Smart Home Window Treatments–Welcome to the Future!
Thanks to the innovation of smartphones and the wonders of wi-fi, smart home technology is finally available and affordable for everyone. And one of the most innovative changes is the battery powered lift system for window treatments. Improve your energy efficiency, get the perfect ambience, and give every room your personal touch. It’s all up to you!
1. Control Your Windows with the Touch of a Button
Using the Platinum App from Hunter Douglas for your iPhone or Android device, along with the Platinum Bridge Kit, you can adjust the windows in your house with a swipe of your finger using your smartphone. With this cutting-edge technology, you’ll be able to get rid of an annoying glare on the TV while you sit on the couch, or shut a hard to reach window treatment in a quick second. Just open up the app and use the customized slider bar to adjust the shade any way you want. You’ll be finding new uses every day!
2. Use Your Home Automated System to Set the Scene
The app is more than just a remote control, though. It’s an easy to program home automation system for your window treatments. If you like to fall asleep with the blinds down for privacy, but love waking up to a ray of warm sunshine on your face, you can easily set that up with a few swipes of your finger. Using the Platinum App, you can set up scenes throughout your house that are automated to your preferences. Just program a scene and your shades will go to a pre-determined position that you pick with the touch of a button.
3. Set a Timer for Energy-Saving Automation
You can affect a lot of your energy use, and save money every month on your heating bill, simply by setting up automated windows. If you want to keep the house warm while you’re at work, but hate leaving the heat on all day, you can ensure your blinds open at 7:30 every morning by simply setting a timer on your app. You can even set your blinds to raise and lower at sunrise and sunset. The Bridge kit will adjust to the ever changing times automatically. So automate your window treatments, and start saving money today!
