Not only do we offer the pieces of technology you need to create a smart home or smart office, but we can also customize and build a smart system from the ground up to meet your exact needs and specifications.

WHY USE SMART TECHNOLOGY?

One question we get a lot from skeptical customers is “Why do I need smart technology? What I have works just fine.” We aren’t trying to throw out your way of doing things. We simply want to make your job and life easier, more affordable, safer, more environmentally friendly, and more informed. Smart technology may not be strictly necessary in your home or business, but have you stopped to ask yourself ways that smart technology could benefit your home or business?

Financial benefits are among the first considered by our customers. Smart technology can save you money in utilities, increase the value of your home or business, and prevent costly repairs or replacements due to theft or accident. Other benefits of smart technology include comfort, modernization, safety, control, and many, many more.

MOTORIZED SHADES

Today we’re talking about one of our favorite ways to integrate technology into your home or business: motorized shades. Yep, you read that right. Shades or blinds on a motor that are controlled via remote or smart home technology are becoming increasingly popular in homes and especially businesses. But why?

Motorized shades allow you to actually use your windows more regularly and effectively. Large or inconvenient windows can be difficult to cover and uncover, meaning they get neglected. Instead of enjoying the fresh morning light, the blinds stay down to protect against the harsh afternoon sun flares. If all it takes is the click of a button, you’re able to utilize your windows for natural light or insulation whenever you want.

Did you know that motorized shades also save you money? On a very hot and bright day, you know that your home or office can quickly turn into an oven as the sun’s rays leach in through the windows. This is called “solar gain” and it can make life much harder on your air conditioning unit. Instead, you can program your motorized shades to close during the hottest or most direct sunlit hours in your home or office to provide better insulation and maintain a stable temperature.

Another reason motorized shades can be helpful for homeowners or businesses is that the shades can be set on an automated schedule or remotely operated. This means if you realize you left home with your shades up and want to lower them before it gets dark, you can do it from your phone or computer. You can even set your motorized shades to lower automatically before dusk or at dawn for a more natural alarm clock. Scheduling motorized shades can also be helpful in an office where there are many people using a common space – it doesn’t matter if someone forgets to pull down the shades before they leave the office if it’s on an automated schedule. Setting motorized shades to go up and down even when you’re out of town can help keep your home safer, as it isn’t obviously vacant.

The final reason that many home and business owners don’t consider is that motorized shades can do a better job of protecting your furniture and carpet. Most fabrics and woods are not UV resistant, so if they’re exposed to daily direct sunlight they can be bleached over time. A regularly used motorized shade can help minimize the hours of direct sunlight bleeding onto your furniture to keep it looking bright and fresh for years to come.

MOTORIZED SHADES FOR YOU

Take a look around your home or office. Could you benefit from motorized shades that are easily controlled by a remote, wall switch, or phone? How would you schedule your motorized shades if you had them? At All Modern Tech we have the experience to help you determine exactly what you want, how to use it, and how to implement and install it. We can line you up with stunning motorized shades as a standalone feature or as part of a larger smart home system or smart office system.

Although smart technology may seem intimidating, expensive, and complicated, AMT Integration can make it accessible and affordable for you. Give us a call today to talk about your smart technology options and the difference we can make in your smart home or smart office.
