Smart blinds or home automation systems are possible. This technology allows you to control your blinds remotely or set a schedule for them to open and close. Here are some tips and methods:
1. Using smart motors for curtains
Smart motors connect to regular curtains and provide internet connectivity.
These motors are usually compatible with mobile apps.
Some of these motors also support voice commands (such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
2. Home automation systems
Systems like SmartThings, HomeKit, or Z-Wave can connect your smart blinds to other devices in your home.
Through these systems, you can adjust the curtains according to light, temperature, or time.
3. Internet connection and remote control
To connect to the internet, the blinds or motors must be connected to a central hub or router via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Using dedicated apps, you can control the curtains from anywhere.
Some smart curtains come with a light sensor or automatic scheduling, so they open and close automatically at sunrise or sunset, for example.
