Can the shades follow the sun?

Yes. Motorized shades can run on a schedule for the morning ocean sun and the evening bay sun, and they also respond to a keypad press or your phone.

Do the shades and lights work together?

Yes. They're on the same scenes, so pressing 'evening' closes the shades on the bay side and brings the lights up to match.

Can I close the house after I leave the island?

Yes, as long as the house has internet. The away scene runs from your phone.

Are the shades hard to add to a finished house?

It depends on the windows and where power can reach. We look at each window during the free walk-through before we quote.

Light from both sides

In Harvey Cedars the island is narrow enough that many houses see the ocean and the bay. Morning sun comes in from the ocean side and the evening sun goes down over the bay. Motorized shades run on a sun schedule for each side, and the lighting scenes come up as the shades close, so the room never goes dark all at once.

Closing the house from home

An away scene closes every shade, sets the climate back, and leaves a few lights on a schedule. You can run it from the keypad by the door or from your phone after you're already home. Cameras at the doors are hardwired and show up on the same app.
