Innovative Motorised Blinds, Shutters, and Awnings for Your Smart Home

If you have a smart home and enjoy the automation from controlling such features as central heating and lighting.

You may have considered motorised window blinds but felt they were too luxurious and expensive a shading solution for your home.

At Halo External Shading, we want to change that misconception as an official reseller and installer of the Luxaflex PowerView range and Somfy motorised products.

Smart Home Convenience with Luxaflex Powerview®

Personalised lighting scenes

Luxaflex PowerView takes a different approach to motorised window treatments, focusing on creating personalised lighting scenes throughout your home. The system learns your preferences and can automatically adjust multiple blinds and shutters to create the exact atmosphere you want for different times of day or activities. You might set up a “morning coffee” scene that opens bedroom blinds gradually while keeping living room shutters partially closed, or an “evening entertainment” setting that dims certain windows while maintaining views from others.

Smart scheduling and remote access

The PowerView app goes beyond simple remote control – it lets you schedule your window treatments to follow natural light patterns or your daily routine. Unlike systems that simply respond to sensors, PowerView allows you to create sophisticated lighting scenes that consider how you actually use each room. The attractive Pebble remote gives you physical control when you don’t want to reach for your phone, and the RemoteConnect feature means you can adjust everything from anywhere, useful for holiday security or preparing your home before you arrive.

Seasonal light management

What sets PowerView apart is its integration with natural light cycles. The system can automatically adjust to seasonal changes in sunrise and sunset times, gradually shifting your blinds’ behavior as daylight hours change throughout the year. This works particularly well for people who want to wake naturally with daylight or need consistent light management for health reasons, as it maintains your preferred lighting conditions even as seasons change without requiring manual reprogramming.

Smart Home Solutions from Somfy

Somfy’s home automation technology takes the effort out of managing your blinds, awnings, and other window treatments throughout the day. Rather than manually adjusting each blind as the sun moves or weather changes, their motorised systems let you control everything from a single app on your phone or through voice commands with Alexa or Google.

The technology is particularly useful for hard-to-reach windows, large installations, or when you’re away from home and want to maintain security by adjusting blinds automatically. Their sensors can detect wind, sun, and rain, adjusting awnings and blinds accordingly to protect both your furnishings and the equipment itself.

For busy homeowners, it means your window treatments work around your schedule rather than requiring constant attention – blinds can open gradually with sunrise, close during the hottest part of the day to keep rooms cool, and adjust again for evening privacy, all without you needing to think about it.
