Two minutes ago, it was still pouring outside – but now the sun’s out again and turning your living room into a sauna. Smart blind control keeps you prepared for these changes of weather: via switch, app, or voice command, you can precisely configure how much sunlight comes in. This will save a lot of energy in the long run, as you won’t always need the heating or air conditioning to regulate indoor temperatures. There are many other benefits as well:

• Within the Gira System 3000, you can use the astro function to attune your blinds to the natural course of the sun.

• In KNX Smart Homes, the Gira weather station Plus for KNX ensures that your blinds will go up automatically in case of rain or strong wind.

• Alternatively, you can set individual time schedules to shield your house from the midday sun or nosy neighbours.

Let’s say you just got comfortable on the couch – and now the sun is shining right on the spot where you wanted to take a nap. Or you just drove off to work, when suddenly a heavy rainstorm starts brewing – and now nobody’s home to pull back the blinds? With the right app, both problems can easily be fixed:

Let’s say you just got comfortable on the couch – and now the sun is shining right on the spot where you wanted to take a nap. Or you just drove off to work, when suddenly a heavy rainstorm starts brewing – and now nobody’s home to pull back the blinds? With the right app, both problems can easily be fixed:

• The Gira System 3000 app connects your switches and mobile devices (i. e. smartphone or tablet) via Bluetooth.

• KNX networks can be accessed from anywhere outside of your house, thanks to the Gira Smart Home app.  

Besides switches and apps, there’s a third option to adjust your blinds. In KNX systems, you can rely on voice assistants as well. Just connect Amazon Alexa or the Google Assistant to your network – and then a simple sentence will be enough: “Alexa, raise the blinds in my bedroom!" or "Google, pull out the awning on the terrace!" This kind of smart control not only makes your home more comfortable, but also more accessible for people with limited mobility.
