Let Your Smart Home Manage Daylight & Privacy

Sunlight. Breathtaking in its beauty, it enhances a home’s interior by streaming through windows and providing a layer of ambient lighting. Unfortunately, as with most things in life, this beautiful light comes with its challenges. Sunlight includes damaging ultraviolet rays that can harm and discolor furniture, flooring, photographs, and artwork. 

And so, when diffuse sunlight turns into direct sunlight, we tend to close our shades, leaving them there until the next day when we open them at sunrise. According to a study by the U.S. Department of Energy, about 75% of people leave their shades in one position throughout the day.

The benefit is that lowered shades enhance our privacy, particularly at night. The downside is that we miss out on the beauty of a full moon, cityscapes, and our landscape lights, some so stunning they look like a picture when framed by our windows.

Fortunately, there is an answer. At HomeTroniX, we create the perfect scenes with motorized shades programmed to set the desired mood with one touch. Let’s explore how an integrated shading system changes everything in Little Rock, AR.
