Smart Home Blinds & Shading
INTELLIGENT SUSTAINABLE LIVING
Smart Blinds
Effortless control and style for your windows
At Smart Homes Electrical, we help homeowners across the East Midlands, from Derbyshire and Nottingham to Manchester, Stoke, and Sheffield, transform their living spaces with intelligent shading solutions.
Our intelligently-automated smart blind system saves you from constantly having to adjust your blinds. However, that’s not all it does. It uses solar energy to heat your rooms cost-effectively, protects you and your privacy, automatically ensures comfortable temperatures and much more.
What Are Smart Blinds?
Smart blinds, also known as automated or electric blinds, are traditional window coverings fitted with a small, quiet motor. This motorisation allows you to control them wirelessly, removing the need for manual cords or chains. Instead of physically adjusting each blind, you can control them remotely, giving you complete command over your home’s light and privacy at the touch of a button.
You can operate your blinds using:
- Your Smartphone: Open or close blinds from the office or whilst on holiday.
- Voice Control: Simply ask Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to “close the living room blinds.”
- Remote Control: A dedicated remote for quick adjustments without needing your phone.
- Automation: Set schedules so blinds move on their own based on the time of day or sunlight levels.
Why Choose a Smart Window Blinds System?
Upgrading to a smart window blinds system offers more than just a “cool factor.” It offers genuine benefits that enhance your home’s efficiency and overall quality of life.
- Convenience and Comfort
Gone are the days of walking room to room to adjust every blind individually. With a single tap or voice command, you can adjust every blind in the house. It is perfect for hard-to-reach windows or skylights that are usually a pain to manage.
- Improved Energy Efficiency
Automated blinds can work with your home’s heating and lighting. By scheduling them to close during the hottest part of the day in summer, you keep your home cool. In winter, they can close at dusk to retain heat, lowering your energy bills.
- Enhanced Privacy and Security
Even when you aren’t home, your house can look occupied. By setting your blinds to open and close at random intervals or specific times, you deter potential intruders.
- Seamless Smart Home Integration
Home automation blinds fit perfectly into your existing ecosystem. If you have a “Movie Night” scene set up, one command can dim the lights, turn on the TV, and lower the blackout blinds for the ultimate cinema experience.
Practical Uses for Motorised Blinds
How do these fit into your daily life? Here are a few examples our customers love:
- The Gentle Wake-Up: Ditch the jarring alarm clock. Program your blinds to slowly open with the sunrise, helping you wake up naturally.
- Furniture Protection: Protect expensive sofas, artwork, and flooring from fading by having blinds automatically adjust when direct sunlight hits them.
- The Cinema Setting: Create instant darkness for movie marathons without getting off the sofa.

Far more than
just shading
With Loxone, your blinds will take care of a multitude of tasks.
Temperature Management
In the summer, your blinds will help to prevent your rooms from becoming too hot. In the winter, they will help keep some of the warmth in. This is all done automatically.
Privacy Protection
At sunset, your blinds will automatically close to offer you some privacy from the outside world.
Storm Protection
If you have external shutters or awnings and there happens to be a storm, these will automatically retract to protect against wind damage.
Flexible Groups
With Loxone you have the ability to group your blinds. Decide how many you want and what sets of blinds should go in each group – then you can control these groups as one.
Child Lock
If you have young children, you can enable our Child Lock feature. This will temporarily disable the switches in order to prevent the little ones adjusting the blinds.
Safety
If you are on holiday your blinds will mimic your behaviour to deter potential burglars.
In perfect harmony
From music to security to lighting, with Loxone every aspect of your system will work hand in hand. This results in a harmonious ecosystem.
Wake up with light
Be gently brought out of your sleep by natural light – with Loxone your blinds will automatically raise in the morning to bring you out of your slumber.
