Home Automation

What is Home Automation?

Home automation for window shades offers a convenient and energy-efficient solution for modern living. By integrating motorized shades 

with smart home systems such as Automate, Somfy and Control4, users can control natural light and privacy through voice commands, 

smartphone apps, or automated schedules. We primarily offer Norman Window Fashions, Lafayette Interior Fashions, Springs Window Fashions. 

We also have access to all Hunter Douglas products if that is you preferred choice. These systems can be programmed to open at sunrise to wake 

you gently or close during the hottest part of the day to reduce cooling costs. Overall, automated window shades enhance comfort, security, and 

energy efficiency while adding a touch of luxury to any home. 


With features like remote control via smartphone apps, users can open or close their shades from anywhere in the world—whether at work, on 

vacation, or simply in another room. Timers and scheduling functions allow shades to adjust automatically throughout the day, enhancing comfort 

and reducing energy consumption. Our systems also offer real-time battery monitoring, so you’ll always know when it’s time for a recharge your 

shades. These intelligent features make automated window shades a seamless and efficient addition to any smart home setup.


Motorization and home automation for window coverings offer advanced control and convenience, but it's important to understand the difference between hardwired and rechargeable motorization. Hardwired motors are connected directly to your home's electrical system, providing a constant power source and eliminating the need for recharging—making them ideal for large homes or frequent use. However, they typically require professional installation and planning during construction or renovation. Rechargeable motors, on the other hand, operate on built-in batteries that can be charged via USB or magnetic charging cables. They are easier to install, making them a great option for retrofitting existing windows, and they offer clean, cordless functionality. While rechargeable motors require occasional charging, both options can be integrated into smart home systems for remote access, scheduling, and voice control.
