In the absence of energy-efficient motorized shades, you can actually lose 30% of your home’s cooling and heating energy. The good news is, there’s no better energy-efficient option than Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades.

By integrating the shades with your Control4 system, you can even have them coordinate with your smart thermostat directly. When your indoor climate hits a specific temperature, you can trigger your shades to open or close based on what you need. 

For example, let’s say 74 degrees is your ideal setting. If the temperature dips below that mark, your shades close to retain more heat. If it then rises over 74, shades open to let in cool air again. This is all automated so that you don’t have to lift a finger.
