Some advantages as well as features of a Lutron motorized shading system from Lowell/Edwards :

Motorized Shades Save Energy

Utilize your motorized shading system to save additional energy. “Winter warm” opens the shades. This will take advantage of warming sunlight. “Summer cool” does the opposite. Lowering the shades will block solar heat gain. This will also reduce your cooling costs. In addition, Lutron shading fabrics are made from sustainable materials. This provides complete environmental and energy savings. Elegance & Ambiance Lutron controls are designed to look as well as work beautifully. Stylish control and fabric options coupled with innovative technology elegantly transition a space to create the right amount of light for any activity. Motorized shading align precisely within 1/16 in of each other for a balanced, beautiful look to a row of windows.

Convenience A single wall station does not restrict managing daylight in your home. Keypads, IR remote controls, wireless controls, in addition to a 24 hour time clock can control motorized shading systems.

Safety & Security Utilize a whole-home shading system for total control of all shades. Set up a scene for “Away”. Then simply select this button when leaving. This will close all shades. In addition, it will restrict the view inside your home.

Reduce Glare & Protect Furnishings Lutron shading systems diffuse light as well as prevent glare. This keeps light from washing out a computer or television screen. Motorized shades will protect furniture, fine art, rugs, as well as wood surfaces from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Stay cool in the summer as well as warm in the winter. Use shading systems to deflect or harness solar heat.

What Can I Control With Home Automation?

With the broad selection of home automation options offered by Lowell/Edwards, you can control just about anything you want in your home.

Lighting

Wireless home automation allows you to manage the lighting in any room in your home using a small handheld device. Control individual lights located in different parts of your home from your bed, the sofa, or while lounging next to your outdoor pool. Headed away on vacation? Then simply pre-program the system to automatically manage your lights in your absence. Take control by gaining full authority over your home’s lighting, wherever and whenever you want.

Home Security Systems and Access Control

Home automation programs can be wired to work with your home alarm system. This provides you with security and peace of mind. A wireless home automation system won’t just alert the authorities or your monitoring agency. It will also alert you on your cellphone, keeping you informed of any suspicious activity in and around your home. Integrated cameras and intercom systems can let you see and talk with unexpected visitors. Networked door locks can be controlled remotely to accommodate friends and family members.

Home automation systems can also improve the safety of your property by using wireless security lighting programs. For example, with a home automation system you can set up your outside security lights to automatically “see” you and activate when you pull in the drive. You can also turn lights on inside your home before you arrive, meaning you will never have to come home to a dark house again!

Comfort and Entertainment Upgrades

With a home automation system, you can finally have the convenience of total control over your electronic devices. You can even program your coffee pot to turn on at a specific time.

Home automation systems can control thermostats, phone systems, home theater systems. Some can even be hooked up to control your lawn sprinklers!

Enjoy the Many Benefits of Home Automation

The ability to control and automate just about every device and appliance in your home certainly has its perks. Imagine being able to preheat your chilly bathroom floor before rolling out of bed on a cold winter morning? Or wouldn’t it be nice if you could dim the lights while sitting watching a movie? Without having to get up and flick the switch? That’s the convenience of home automation!

Efficient and effective, home automation systems can also help you save money on your utilities. No longer will you be spending money on household appliances left running by accident. Plus, you’ll save on gas. You will never need to drive home in order to check to see if you’ve turned something off. These cost-saving reasons alone are often enough to justify the expense of a home automation system.
