Spring is the perfect season to smarten up your home. With more sunlight, milder temperatures, and longer days, you're not only bringing more comfort into your space, but also a great opportunity to save energy. When combined with a well-thought-out plan, smart window coverings like Smartblinds make it easy to set up scenes that follow your daily rhythm.
Scene 1: Start your day with top-down bottom-up pleated blinds
In the morning, you want to wake up gently with natural light, without opening the entire room right away. Pleated blinds with a top-down bottom-up function are ideal for this. Set a scene where your blinds automatically open slightly from the top as soon as the sun rises or at a fixed time. This way, light enters the room while your privacy is maintained. Combine it with gently activating smart lighting and start your day naturally and energy efficiently.
Scene 2: Daylight without the heat – with light-filtering roller blinds
During midday hours, the sun can significantly heat up your home. A suitable scene here is one where light-filtering roller blinds automatically close when sunlight becomes too intense. This keeps the direct heat out while still allowing plenty of diffused light to come in. You won’t need to turn on bright lamps during the day, the temperature remains stable, and the atmosphere stays light and pleasant. Use a sunlight sensor or connect the scene to local weather data to automate it.
Scene 3: Turn your home office into a smart workspace
A home office scene requires control over light and temperature, without the need to constantly intervene. Set your regular light-filtering curtains to close slightly when the sun hits your workspace. At the same time, your smart lighting switches to bright work light, and a temperature sensor activates a fan or window ventilation system as soon as it gets too warm inside. This way, you stay cool — literally — and save energy through smart automation.
Scene 4: Calm and comfort as evening falls
When the sun sets, you want to adjust the atmosphere indoors. A great evening scene closes your blackout curtains automatically at dusk. Lighting switches to warm tones, the temperature adjusts, and your home settles down. This works perfectly in combination with time-based routines or sunset data. Choose fabrics that retain heat — ideal for this cooler spring transition period when you want to avoid unnecessary heating.
Scene 5: Simulate presence while you're away
If you’re away for a few days, it’s comforting to make your home appear occupied. Set up a presence simulation where your pleated or roller blinds open and close at different times. Combine it with lights turning on and off at realistic intervals. This not only creates the impression that someone is home but also prevents your interior from overheating during the day. With a smart scene, you ensure comfort and security — even when you’re not there.
Everything works together – with or without sensors
No sensors at home? No problem. All these scenes can be easily set up using time schedules or weather data from apps. Smartblinds integrates effortlessly with smart home systems that follow your preferences. That way, you can automatically create the perfect indoor climate — every single day.Discover how to style your spring smartly with Smartblinds!
