Are you curious to see how home lighting and shading integration works? What does the experience look like in a real home? 

In a short video, Kevin from Easy Living With Technology demonstrates Vantage Lighting integration with motorized shades. Here, he’s using Vantage to control QMotion shades and blackout BTX Custom shades with a single tap of a button. Our team in St. Petersburg, Florida, developed all the programming behind smooth, responsive shading.

Benefits of Automating Shades & Drapes 

Motorized window shades provide countless benefits to anyone’s home and lifestyle. Once you’ve upgraded to motorized shades, you can expect to: 

• Save time: Automate shades to follow your schedule, rising and lowering automatically at precise times. By removing a step from your morning and nightly routines, you’ll gain back time and feel less stressed.  

• Save energy: With smart scheduling and sensors, shades lower automatically to block heat and keep rooms cooler. Cellular honeycomb shades add a layer of insulation on windows, so you don’t have to crank the AC. 

• Prevent fading: When the Florida sun strikes your windows, shades lower to protect artwork, photographs, furniture, and carpets from fading in UV light. 

• Help plants: Worried your houseplants don’t receive enough sunlight? Schedule shades to bathe your plants in the appropriate amount of sunshine. 

• Enjoy more sunlight: Don’t leave your home feeling gloomy on a sunny day. Automate shades to rise across every room, boosting your mood and wellbeing. 

• Automate privacy: Whether you’re changing in the pool house or getting ready for bed, privacy is just a press of a button away.
