Window coverings come in a variety of different forms in Doylestown, Horsham, New Hope, Southampton, Villanova, Yardley, PA, and the surrounding areas, but one option that is gaining in popularity are smart blinds. At Alpha IT Solutions we can not only help explain what smart blinds are, we can help to install them and integrate them into your smart home system. While having blinds are nice because they can be adjusted to change the amount of sunlight being let in, one of their drawbacks is that manual blinds need to be manipulated by someone. With smart blinds, you can now have the option of doing this from your phone or touch pad from anywhere, or you can have it programmed to automatically adjust the blinds based on the time of day or even the temperature in the building.

Reduce Your Energy Costs
Blinds help to regulate the interior temperature of your home by blocking some or all of the sunlight that comes through your windows. By having your smart blinds setup with your smart home system, you can program them to raise, lower, as well as tilt during specific times of the day. You can also have a feature where based on the time of the day and the interior temperature of the home, your blinds can automatically lower and close to keep the sun from heating up your home.
The opposite is true in the colder months when you want to take advantage of the natural sunlight and associated heat that comes through your windows. Having your smart blinds open to allow in this natural heat reduces your need to run your furnace. And this can all happen automatically without any intervention on your part, just setting up the conditions once and letting the system handle the rest.
An Additional Part of Home Security
Securing your home is important, and many times the phrase ‘out of sight, out of mind’ is appropriate when it comes to the opportunistic thief. At night you can have all of your smart blinds close up to prevent anyone from seeing inside your home and deciding that you have something that they want. And while you may have this programmed into your smart home system, you can easily override this anytime that you desire as well.
