Bring spring into your home with smart window coverings

Smart window coverings help you make the most of the spring sunshine and give your home a fresh start. Discover how smart solutions can not only bring in more natural light but also enhance your living comfort.

Making the most of the spring sun

With the clocks going forward on the night of 29th to 30th March, a new rhythm begins. The morning sun streams through your windows earlier, bathing your home in a natural glow. Smart window coverings are the perfect way to take advantage of this:

• Automatic opening with the sun – Set your blinds or curtains to open as soon as the first rays of sunlight appear. Wake up naturally, without the need for an alarm.
• Daylight as an energy saver – Maximise natural light to reduce your reliance on artificial lighting. This is not only great for your energy bill but also better for the environment.
• Protection from the first harsh rays – While we love the sunshine, indoor temperatures can rise quickly. Smart indoor shading keeps your home comfortably cool without needing to switch on the air conditioning.

Spring cleaning: a fresh start for the season

As you enjoy the first beams of sunshine streaming through your windows, you might notice something… The winter has left its mark. Smudges on the glass, a fine layer of dust on the blinds, and even your outdoor awnings could use a good clean. Time for a fresh start!

Spring is the perfect moment for a deep clean—not just for your windows and frames, but also for your indoor shading. With a few simple steps, you can ensure your smart blinds last longer and keep working perfectly.

How to get your smart window coverings spring-ready

• Blinds and shades – Use a soft, dry cloth or a duster to remove dust from slats or fabric. Stubborn dirt? A slightly damp cloth often does the trick. Avoid using cleaning products, as they can leave residue once dry.

• Curtains – These can be real dust magnets, so it’s best to remove them from the electric rails during your cleaning routine. Take them outside and hang them on the washing line. On a bright spring day with a light breeze, nature will do most of the work in just an hour. Give them a quick shake to remove any remaining dust before reattaching them for an instantly fresher feel.

• Automation check – If your motorised indoor blinds run on batteries, check the LED light on the motor to see if they need recharging. Do you have a TaHoma switch? The app will show you the battery status of each blind. It’s also a good idea to fully lower and raise your blinds (including tilting the slats) using your remote control or the TaHoma app to ensure everything is functioning smoothly.

Get your home spring-ready with smart shading

Besides a good clean, we’re also preparing for the first days spent in the garden. By connecting your smart outdoor shading to sensors, your screens or awnings will automatically lower in bright sunlight. This not only protects your interior from fading but also keeps your home cooler.

Enjoy:

✔ Natural light without the glare
✔ A cooler home without extra energy use
✔ Comfort and convenience with automated control
