Smart Blackout Curtains Make the Perfect Addition to Your Home

These days, it seems like you can control practically everything in your home with your phone or some other type of remote, whether it’s your thermostat, your lights, or even your coffee maker. But did you know that blackout curtains in Dallas also come with cool technology? Let’s talk about some of the ways in which you can take advantage of cool tech to control your curtains.

Control Your Window Coverings from Anywhere

Alexa, Google Home, and other digital assistants are all convenient for looking up recipes and playing your favorite music, but they can also connect to the motor on your blackout curtains. Therefore, with a simple voice command, you’re able to close or open your curtains on demand.

Of course, you don’t have to use a digital assistant to control your smart curtains; you can simply use the app that connects directly to your window coverings to open or close them from anywhere. This type of control is ideal for folks who might forget to close their curtains before they leave for work. It’s also incredibly useful if you’re going on vacation; by periodically opening and closing your window coverings, you can give the outside world the impression that someone is still at home.

Remote Controls Keep You Cozy and Comfortable

A more basic option for motorized curtains is the simple remote-controlled variety. With a simple remote, such as what you use for your TV, you can move your window coverings to whatever position you prefer.

This type of motorized curtain is great for your media room. When you’re ready to settle down and watch a movie with your sweetheart, you won’t have to get off the couch to cover the windows or move the curtains that normally cover your TV.

Remote-controlled blackout curtains are also perfect for very tall or hard to reach windows, or for anyone who doesn’t want to risk that a drapery cord will get tangled up. All you have to do to open or close your window coverings is touch a button — no hassle, no mess, and no contorting yourself as you try to stretch over your furniture.

Position Memory, Sunlight Sensors, and More

Some folks don’t want to give much thought to how open or closed their curtains are, which is why some window coverings do the thinking for you. They may come with:

• Position memory. Some motorized curtains can remember your favorite positions for them, so they open just the right amount every time.
• Sunlight sensors. By automatically closing when the sun is at its brightest, your smart curtains in Dallas can save you money on your energy bills and protect your valuables from sun damage.
• Programmable timing. Curtains that automatically close at dusk take one more thing off your nightly to-do list. Or, you can program your bedroom curtains to open in the morning so you can wake up to natural sunlight.

Technology is changing every aspect of the way we live — including how we control our curtains! Why not talk to an expert about how your home can benefit from smart window coverings?
