It’s quite common to set off for that long-awaited holiday destination worrying that you’ve left a roller shutter open at home: in the stress of leaving and with a thousand things to do before closing the door behind you, even the most organised of us can easily forget something!
However, the traditional summer (or Christmas) holidays aren’t the only time when it would be very convenient to be able to control motorised blinds and shutters automatically. Just think, for example, how lovely it would be to wake up in the morning with natural light gently streaming into the bedroom, without having to get up to manually raise the electric shutters. And what about the convenience of coming home from the office and seeing the garage roller shutter open by itself, without having to get out of the car in the rain or sweltering heat? Or being able to retract the awnings directly from the office, when the weather forecast tells us that conditions are deteriorating and a nasty storm is on the horizon?
All these situations – and many others – are common and can be easily managed thanks to the connected relays provided by Freedompro. More specifically, we are referring to the Shutter Modules from our Smart Modules range, which we discussed in detail in this article.
Let’s find out more about them!
Freedompro’s Shutter Modules: ideal for automating your home’s blinds and shutters!
Automating curtains, shutters and roller blinds ensures greater convenience and living comfort, as well as enhanced security for your home.
To meet these specific needs, Freedompro’s Smart Modules range includes Shutter Modules, which automate and make any type of roller shutter, motorised blind or roller blind system smart. All you need to do is install the smart switches for automatic control of these devices directly behind the wall-mounted buttons, in the electrical panel or in junction boxes, without any building work or the need to replace or recertify the existing electrical system.
This simplicity and flexibility of installation allows you to easily adapt the system to the specific needs of your home, whether you are building a new home, renovating or simply upgrading an existing system. Safety is, moreover, addressed in two ways: on the one hand, because automating these devices reduces the risk of break-ins; on the other, because the Shutter Modules are equipped with integrated overheating and overload protection systems and are therefore completely reliable even in the most challenging environments.
Furthermore, like all Smart Modules, Shutter Modules also guarantee quick and easy installation and configuration: they are not only Plug & Play devices (i.e. easy to connect and designed to be operational immediately), but also Ready To Play (i.e. ready for use as soon as installation is complete). This means they’ll be fully operational in just a few minutes.
With Shutter Modules, you’ll gain total control over your roller shutters, motorised blinds and roller doors, and you can easily set up customised scenarios (known as ‘Habits’) that adapt to your daily routines. What’s more, you can manage your devices using all the major voice assistants, such as Siri, Google Home or Amazon Alexa, with apps such as Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant (to name but a few), as well as with our Freedompro Home app.
Matter certification: a guarantee of quality and interoperability
The Shutter Modules are part of Freedompro’s Smart Modules range, which has recently been awarded the prestigious Matter certification.
Matter is an interoperability standard for the smart home developed by a consortium of leading technology companies: this certification ensures that smart devices can communicate with one another seamlessly, regardless of the brand that manufactures them.
The benefits of choosing Matter-certified devices such as Freedompro’s Shutter Modules are significant:
- Interoperability: this means that devices can be integrated with other smart devices to create a complete and harmonious ecosystem for your home.
- Security: because Matter certification confirms that devices meet strict security standards, protecting your home network and your data.
- Total flexibility: as compatibility with leading voice assistants and smart home platforms allows you to easily expand your automation system whenever and however you need to, without any compatibility concerns.
In short, with Matter certification, you can be sure that your automation system is secure, reliable and ready for future developments, as well as fully compatible with all your smart devices.
In this regard, why not consider integrating Light Modules into your home to make your lights and lighting smart, as we discussed in more detail in our previous article [link to previous article]? This way, you can not only create automations for curtains, shutters and roller doors, but also have them work in tandem with your home’s lighting – for example, illuminating the driveway as the garage door opens to let your car in.
Think of the convenience and practicality that a smart home brings to all sorts of daily activities: it really is time to make the spaces in your life smart!
