What are the benefits of a smart home?

Smart home offers many benefits. Not only does automation and remote control ensure everyday ease of use and comfort at home, but it also contributes to making your home more sustainable. A win-win, in other words. We list the most important advances of a smart home:

EASE OF USE: MORE COMFORT AT HOME

Smart home products make your life easier. From one place you can manage all your smart home devices and have them automatically cooperate with each other. Via an app or with your voice assistant. Even when you're not at home, you can easily control various appliances in the house remotely. Planning to put a pizza in the oven after work? It's delicious! Have your smart oven preheated while you drive home and pop it right in at home.

SUSTAINABLE: LESS ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND COSTS

Smart home products make your home more energy efficient. If you use your smart devices in the right way, you can save a lot of energy and make your home much more sustainable. For example, you can see exactly which appliances consume the most energy with smart plugs. You can also improve the efficiency of your home by linking appliances together. Think of your heating and/or air conditioning with a smart thermostat, which always creates a pleasant temperature in the house at the right times.

SAFE: DETER BURGLARS

Smart home products make your home safer. Not only can you optimally secure your home with motion detectors, surveillance cameras, automatic door locks and other home automation security systems, but with automation you also create the illusion that there is always someone at home. So also when you are on holiday. In this way you deter burglars and you can prevent theft. Smart window coverings in particular are an added value here. By means of timers, you can, for example, have your blinds raised automatically in the morning and lowered in the evening. Also connect your smart lights and make sure there is light in your living room at night. No thief will dare break in then.

Start with a smart home

For many people, turning the household into a smart home sounds like a daunting task. But this is a misconception! It's very easy tostart a smart home. Even without a lot of technical knowledge, you can easily take the first steps towards a smart home. Start with smart lighting, for example. Follow the instructions and automate your lights via an app or even your smart assistant. Do you like it? Then add new smart gadgets to your household. Electric roller blinds, for example. Also successful? Then try linking the two different smart products. This is often easy to arrange via your Google Home app or the Apple HomeKit app. Did you manage it? Then add some new smart devices. Step-by-step, this is how you create the optimal smart home and thus a user-friendly, sustainable and safe home!

Make the most of your smart home with smart window coverings

Smart window coverings may sound new to you. That's probably because this type of window covering is making huge strides and is therefore still relatively new in the smart home world. By adding electric roller blinds, duo blinds, Venetian blinds or pleated blinds to your smart home portfolio your smart home reaches a whole new level. Besides remote control via an app or voice commands, automation in particular offers enormous possibilities. For instance, you can have your blinds raised automatically every day in the morning and lowered in the evening, or set them to close when the last person leaves the house. You can even use smart window decoration as an alarm clock, so that you can be woken up by daylight every morning instead of an irritating alarm. With tailor-made window coverings in your home create ultimate comfort, privacy, security and durability.
