Motorized Shades
A growing trend in today’s smart, connected world is to automate window treatments throughout the home or office. Installing motorized or automated shades is a hassle-free, convenient way to not only control the amount of light in the room but also achieve a sense of privacy and help regulate the room temperature. By reflecting the sun’s scorching rays in the summer and adding an extra layer of insulation against the frigid winter, having automated shades can easily save you money on your energy bills. Those manual, hard-to-clean blinds aren’t doing your home any favors, so why not upgrade to a window treatment that is as versatile as your imagination.
We have teamed up with PowerShades, a leading innovator in the industry, to provide affordable, programmable, and safe window treatment with motorized window shades. Unlike traditional blinds, these shades have no strings attached -literally- so they are kid, pet, and active household friendly. Use the PowerShades Dashboard to remotely open and close your shades, set schedules based on your habits, and create pre-set scenes for your favorite shade positions. PowerShades fully integrates with our URC Total Control 2.0 whole-home universal control system, so you will have constant access to adjust your shades right in the palm of your hand. Now with just the push of a button, you can block out that glaring sun beam, flood the room with light, or anything in between.
Why PowerShades?
Other motorized or electric shade companies require the installation of additional power injectors or adapter pieces for their units to operate, but not PowerShades. Their TruePoE units, or power-over-ethernet, get both their electrical current and command prompts from just one cable, helping to save you money on installation. PowerShades are versatile when it comes to powering their shades too; if running a cable to the window isn’t an option, PowerShades also offers other types of power sources, including a convenient solar-powered battery pack. And with a lifetime warranty on the hardware, you know these shades will be rolling along well into the future. Click here to visit their website.
