Keep the warmth inside: discover the power of Somfy automation

During the cold winter months, all you want is a warm and comfortable home. But with rising energy costs, turning up the thermostat is no longer an attractive option.

Fortunately, Somfy offers a smart and sustainable solution: automated blinds and curtains that not only retain heat but also help lower your energy bills.

With Somfy’s innovative technology, your home stays cosy without requiring any effort. Discover how these smart solutions combine comfort, sustainability, and convenience.

Heat loss: the hidden problem in your home

Did you know that windows are responsible for a significant portion of heat loss in your home? Even the best insulation allows heat to escape, leading to higher heating costs. While many people think of curtains or thick blankets as a solution, the effectiveness of blinds and shutters is often underestimated.

By cleverly shielding your windows, German research* shows that you can save up to 30% on heating costs. And the best part? With automation, you don’t have to lift a finger.

Smart solutions to keep the warmth inside

1. Automated shutters and curtains

Shutters and curtains close automatically as evening falls, adding an extra layer of insulation and preventing heat from escaping your home. By equipping them with built-in motors and controlling them via the TaHoma app, automation takes over for you.

2. TaHoma switch

With Somfy’s TaHoma switch, you can set automatic scenarios based on the outdoor temperature or the time of day. This allows you to optimise your indoor climate effortlessly.

Paired with a temperature sensor, you can configure a scenario so that when the outside temperature drops, your blinds automatically close to minimise heat loss. Alternatively, you can set them to open when the sun shines, letting natural sunlight warm your home for free. Here’s an example of how to set this up in the app.

3. Sunlight and temperature sensors

Smart sensors from Somfy or Netatmo monitor sunlight and indoor temperature to adjust your blinds accordingly. Let the sun warm your home during the day and have everything close automatically in the evening to retain the heat.

Energy savings without compromise

The benefits of Somfy’s smart blinds go beyond comfort. With automated solutions, you not only save energy but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Reduced energy consumption means a smaller carbon footprint and lower energy costs.

Installation is straightforward and compatible with nearly every type of home. Even existing blinds or shutters can be easily upgraded with Somfy motors and the TaHoma switch.
