Would you like to find out how to make the most of Motionblinds electric window coverings in your modern interior, or do you have any other questions? Our experts are always available to help. Feel free to get in touch with us.
Tip 1: Choose the electric window covering that suits you
When searching online, you may initially notice only one option, but it is worth knowing that many different types of electric window coverings are available. We therefore recommend checking which of these options will best suit your interior.
Electric roller blinds, for example, can be raised and lowered automatically using a motor. They are particularly practical because they make blocking out sunlight and heat child's play. Venetian blinds and vertical blinds are also available, creating horizontal or vertical lines in your interior. These options work especially well in a simple, modern interior.
Also consider whether electric pleated blinds or duo roller blinds would suit your needs, requirements and interior. They have a slightly different appearance, allowing you to create a unique look.
Tip 2: Enjoy all the benefits of electric blinds
One important reason to choose electric blinds is, of course, convenience, as you no longer need to operate them manually. Automation with a remote control or an app simply makes things easier. Automatic window coverings also provide added security. Even when you are away, automatic window coverings can make burglars think twice before attempting to break into your home because they notice movement. Last but not least, electric window coverings are much safer for children than corded blinds.
Tip 3: Consider blackout options
As we enjoy more and more hours of sunshine in the Netherlands, it is important to consider blackout blinds when thinking about electric roller blinds. Sheer fabrics are simply not a good idea if you want to keep the temperature under control. Blackout blinds work best when the sun is shining. Fortunately, there are more than enough options to suit your tastes and preferences.
Tip 4: Decide which control system is right for you
You do not have to control your window covering electronically, as Motionblinds also offers traditional pull control. However, you can also operate electric window coverings using a remote control or an app on your smartphone. In fact, you can choose from four different options:
- Pull
A short pull on the chain, cord or wand automatically moves the blind. Convenient and suitable for everyone, including guests in your home or cleaning staff. - Remote control
A remote control is a convenient way to operate window coverings. Set the position of your roller blinds at the touch of a button and watch them move. - App
Simply download it to your smartphone and control your roller blinds with a single swipe. - Voice
For true smart home enthusiasts, life without a voice assistant is now unimaginable. Regardless of who developed it, you can use voice control to move your Motionblinds to any position you want.
Tip 5: Motionblinds smart blinds add the finishing touch to your smart home
App and voice control tie directly into this final tip. With the Motionblinds app, you can easily control your chosen electric window covering using your smartphone. All this is made possible by a Wi-Fi bridge, which also lets you open and close roller blinds or Venetian blinds using voice commands. With our own Motionblinds app, you can also program and automate your blinds to make your home truly smart.
Control multiple roller blinds or Venetian blinds at once with just a few swipes. Preset scenes, modes and timers automate your entire interior. It really does not get more modern than this! Pairing devices is easy, regardless of which smart home system you use - Apple HomeKit, Google Home or Amazon Alexa. It is simple even if you are not tech-savvy. Apple users do not need a hub
