Welcome to the future of convenience and innovation in your home! The smart home has evolved from a trend to an integral part of our lives ....

Whats a smart home?

smarthomes are now affordable to anyone.

Our homes are becoming smarter all the time. Many of us now own a voice assistant such as Amazons Alexa or Google home. With all this technology available to us why not apply that same technology to the control of our blinds and awnings?

Electric blinds have been available for many years, but with the rise of standards such as Zigbee the blinds world has suddenly become much smarter. Somfy has moved from their traditional RTS bmotors to the new Zigbee motors.

What are the benefits of a smart home?

  • Control the temperature of your house automatically
  • See when your blinds need charging before they run out of power
  • Schedule events based on date and time
  • Have your blinds respond to changes in temperature or light intensity
  • Compatibility with many other Zigbee products
