If you’ve ever wished you could adjust your window coverings without getting up from the couch, Lutron Smart Shades are made for you. Even better, you can schedule them to move automatically with the sun.
In Calgary’s bright summers and bone-chilling winters, controlling natural light and privacy is more than just convenient. It’s a smart way to enhance your comfort, save on energy costs, and elevate your home’s style.
This guide explains how Lutron Smart Shades work. You’ll also learn about their benefits and why so many Calgary homeowners are choosing smart window coverings.
What Are Lutron Smart Shades?
Lutron Smart Shades are motorized window coverings that connect directly to your home automation system. With a tap on your smartphone, the press of a button, or even your voice, you can adjust your shades from anywhere.
Not only are they functional, but they’re also beautifully designed. You can choose from a wide range of fabrics, colours, and styles to match your décor. Lutron offers everything from simple woven vinyl blends like their Classico Collection, to cosy Wood Blinds and show-stopping Architectural Honeycomb shades.
If you’re in Calgary, our smart shade installation service makes setup simple. That means, you can enjoy smart living in a flash.
Why Choose Smart Shades?
There are plenty of reasons to upgrade your window coverings. Let’s explore why Lutron Smart Shades are an excellent choice.
1. Effortless Convenience
Wake up to natural sunlight or lower your shades before movie night. With automated schedules and one-touch control, your shades adjust to your daily routine. What’s more, you’ll never have to struggle with hard-to-reach windows again.
2. Energy Efficiency
Smart shades help regulate your indoor temperature. In the summer, they lower to keep your home cool. In the winter, they'll rise to let in natural warmth. As a result, you’ll use your heating and cooling systems less and save on energy bills.
3. Style and Customization
Lutron offers a wide variety of fabrics and finishes. Whether you want sheer weaves for filtered light or blackout shades for better sleep, there’s a design to suit your style.
4. Better Privacy and Security
There's almost nothing worse than getting to the airport and thinking, "Crap, I forgot to close the blinds!" Smart shades create the appearance that someone is home, even when you’re away. Set them to close at sunset or adjust them remotely for extra peace of mind.
How Smart Shades Work with Home Automation
Lutron Smart Shades integrate smoothly with your home automation system. When you combine them with RadioRA3, you gain complete control of lighting, shading, and temperature — all in one place.
They also work with popular voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. Simply say, “Alexa, lower the living room shades,” and your home responds.
Even better, you can create scenes that adjust both your lighting and shades together for the perfect atmosphere.
