Testimonial: Total Home Interiors Talks Smart Home Integration

The smart home is gaining traction and homeowners are looking into new ways to increase their home’s safety, convenience and energy savings. Motorized shading is a great way to make a smart home even smarter, and Somfy offers a variety of tools to help integrators. 
 
Solutions like the ultra-quiet Sonesse® ULTRA 50 line of motors make motorized shades a more seamless and silent part of any home. Smartphone and tablet apps like the myLink™ allow homeowners to control their motorized products even away from home, closing a rolling shutter if they hear a hurricane warning or just opening the shades for their dog. 
 
Plus Somfy offers integration solutions like the Somfy Connect™ platform of integration devices and the Somfy Synergy™ API. The Somfy Synergy API allows for integration with popular home automation systems such as Control4, Crestron and Savant, to name only a few. Whether integrating Somfy Digital Network (SDN) or Radio Technology Somfy (RTS), there’s a flexible integration solution available for projects of all sizes. 
 
All of these tools provide flexibility to integrators, home automation installers, and programmers looking to utilize the convenience of motorized window coverings. The benefits of motorized window coverings are numerous, allowing homeowners to save energy, protect their privacy, and avoid UV damage. Motorized shades are an essential piece of the home automation puzzle, whether a homeowner wants to save furniture from fading or lower their shades to enjoy a movie night.
