Window protection has always been considered necessary for houses, for the purpose of shading, design or security. From wooden shutters to automated shutters, consumers have adapted their needs according to the imminent evolution of society and technology.
Currently, the automated houses incorporate this aspect, of shading the house by installing exterior blinds / shutters, with the possibility of being activated and programmed easily. The VIKI team has identified some important features and benefits for installing such blinds. You will find out how VIKI controls the activity of outdoor blinds during a day and how they react in different scenarios, such as Good morning mode, Sleep mode, Cinema mode, but also lowering them when the sun’s intensity is high.
Thermal protection
The main reason why most people install their blinds / window shutters is the protection offered both in winter and in summer.
During a summer day, when the owner is in the office, depending on the intensity of the light rays perceived by the sensors, the blinds will lower to protect the house from high temperatures. In winter, at night, the rollers are lowered to maintain a constant temperature indoors, so that the heating system with thermostats will function less time.
When you get home, the blinds will be raised to allow light to enter and the VIKI house will be waiting for you with the perfect temperature for your comfort.
Another possible scenario is that during a summer storm, when the windows are open, to protect your home; based on data from the wind sensor, VIKI will automatically let the blinds down. This way, no water will enter the house and no windows will be affected.
Comfort and intimacy
When activating the Good morning mode, VIKI will automatically raise the blinds to allow the sun to enter the room.
In the evening, when the Sleep mode is activated, VIKI will put the blinds down, to provide privacy at night.
For the weekends when you want to relax at home, when Cinema mode is activated, VIKI will automatically put the blinds down in the multimedia room, to create the perfect atmosphere for watching your favorite movies.
Security and prevention
Breaking into homes is an occasional occurrence, but access by criminals to the window is easy without the existence of blinds. The best way to prevent these offenses is, of course, not to leave the doors or windows open at night or when you are away from home.
But for added security, you will be able to set the VIKI house to lower the blinds in your absence. They have the function of preventing opening when they are lowered, thus preventing forced opening and breaking through.
