Let's start with the basics: a smart interior
You may have heard the term “smart home” – a concept that has become increasingly popular recently. A smart interior consists of various automated devices, ideally connected to one another, that save you a great deal of time and effort. With smart window coverings, you no longer need to get up to close the blinds yourself, as this can be automated.
Although this was traditionally the domain of smart technology specialists, all the world's major technology brands have since developed their own smart home systems. Google, Apple and Amazon are the largest providers in this field, and all three have developed a voice assistant that lets you control smart window coverings not only through apps, but also with your voice.
When you choose smart window coverings, these products work seamlessly and securely with other smart technologies, such as lighting, thermostats, motion detectors and more. All accessories that can connect to the internet can also be linked to one another. Together, they form an integral part of your smart home ecosystem. A smart interior enables smart devices to work together. This can even happen automatically, without any intervention from you – for maximum comfort!
The three main benefits of smart window coverings
- Security
Your home's security is improved. Automated window coverings ensure that your home always looks occupied, deterring potential burglars. Smart window coverings also have no chain, making them child-safe.
- Energy savings
Automation saves a great deal of energy in your smart interior, as the blinds are only used when needed.
- Comfort
Automation eliminates the need for manual operation, although this is still possible thanks to the pull function. With the app or a remote control, you no longer need to get up to close the blinds.
The ideal app for smart window coverings
The Motionblinds app takes control of your window coverings to the next level. Together with a Wi-Fi bridge, the mobile app opens up endless possibilities for controlling window coverings via your smartphone, and the Motionblinds app lets you programme and automate your window coverings to suit your daily routine.
Control multiple blinds at once with a single swipe. Automate your home with preset scenes, modes and timers. Regulate your indoor climate to save energy. Find the right balance between daylight, security and privacy. Check the exact position and battery status of your electric blinds in the app. The Motionblinds app works with all Motionblinds motors that support remote control.

Easy installation
When you choose electric roller blinds that connect to your smart home, you know they are versatile and sophisticated. What makes them even better is that they are also user-friendly. Installing, programming and controlling smart window coverings with your smartphone is very easy – the roller blinds connect automatically via Bluetooth. You do not need a gateway or bridge to set them up with an Apple system (these are required with other providers).
All you need to do is scan the QR code, and the blinds will be set up automatically and securely, allowing you to control them via the app or simply with your voice. The entire process takes just a few seconds. Software updates that enable the latest features and user experiences will automatically appear when available.
