Manage Your Circadian Rhythm with Smart Blinds and Tunable Lighting 

A good rule of thumb for smart blinds is that they should open and close in accordance with your routine. Roll up every morning and roll back down late at night. But there is a lot more to it.

At Bob’s Smart Home, we are the leading experts in lighting control systems and motorized window treatments in Sammamish and greater King County. 

We know the right lighting conditions will keep you focused while working from home. And on Sunday afternoons, your lights and blinds will set the atmosphere for the next Seahawks game. 

Read on to learn how automated smart blinds and tunable lights will improve your body’s circadian rhythm and enhance every space in your smart home.

Automated and Integrated

Smart blinds and human-centric lights set the stage for customizable lighting conditions across your smart home. 

In your home theater, lighting control is key to recreating a cinematic experience. Low lights, a killer AV system, and fresh popcorn should be the norm. Elsewhere at home, automating smart blinds contributes to your body’s circadian rhythms. 

It shouldn’t be surprising that Lutron, the global pioneer in lighting control, also offers industry-leading motorized window treatments. 

For example, Lutron’s Sivoia QS series includes horizontal shear and wood blinds, which can be integrated into an automation system like Control4. Based on schedules and sensors, smart blinds regulate the impact of sunlight in your home, reducing UV damage and energy consumption at specific times of the day while exposing you to it at other times. 

A Complement to Tunable Lights

Lutron’s goal is to design lights that mimic sunlight and its properties. Ketra, their human-centric, tunable lighting products, seamlessly transition from cool to warm white light temperatures throughout the day. 

But lighting control and smart blinds work best in unison. If it is too bright outside, the blinds should roll down, and the lights adjust to a darker interior. 

Under the right lighting conditions, you can become more productive during the day or heal faster at night. 

Tricking your body is also an option. If you are sick and need to rest, set a warm temperature to help you sleep and roll down your smart blinds at the tap of a remote. When it’s time to focus on homework at the end of the day, switch to cool lighting that promotes productivity. 

Enhance Every Space

When designing a smart home, light fixtures and window treatments are two powerful tools to give each room its own identity. With Control4, smart blinds and tunable lights will be at your command, ready to recreate the ideal lighting conditions for every space with the press of a button.
