Smarter Ways to Control the Climate in Your Home

Do you know how much you could reduce your energy bills by with efficient home heating and cooling?

Inefficiencies and wastage, such as leaving on the air conditioner all day, may be having a bigger impact on your home energy bills than you realise.

A smart home automation system gives you the ability to optimise heating and cooling. With Somfy, your home adjusts to suit you, whether you want to control the settings via a timer, a remote control or a smartphone app.

Energy Savings with Automation

It goes without saying that having your home’s climate automated rather than having to manually control it can add up to huge energy savings. With automated window coverings, you can utilise the natural heating and cooling of the daylight hours to optimise your home’s internal temperature. Not only does this reduce the stress of energy wastage on the environment, but it also brings down your energy costs.

Smart Home Automation Ideas

By automating your outdoor window blinds, a schedule can be set to open and close them to keep an even internal temperature.

If it’s winter, let the sunlight in during the day before closing the blinds in the late afternoon, so the house is kept warm for your family to arrive home to.

In the summer, there’s no need to run the air conditioner all day! Automatically lower blinds during the hottest parts of the day to keep the heat out and naturally cool your home.

By connecting your window coverings to sun or temperature sensors, they can monitor sunlight or temperature changes throughout the day and adjust according to pre-set parameters. Automated blinds are an especially important way to drive energy savings, as windows are a major source of heat loss or gain in a home. By connecting the automated blinds to temperature sensors, a home automation system keeps the home’s internal climate perfectly adjusted, at any time of night or day.

Remote Control for Convenience

A smart home automation system means centralised control of the home’s internal climate, from anywhere in or away from the house. Imagine it’s the middle of summer and your family has been out at the beach all day. Coming home from a sweltering day out, a single tap on a smartphone app on the way back can have your home ready by the time you arrive.

The Comfort of Automation

Home life is for enjoying without having to do the work. Smart home automation is here to make your home life as convenient as possible, by letting your Somfy solutions do the hard work for you.
