Moving blinds up and down
Notes:
- Experts say to keep window blinds closed while of vacation – you don’t want to give burglars the opportunity to peer into your home for valuables.
- Makes sense – but closed blinds accompanied with no activity around the home says you are away from the home.
- With wifi motorized blinds, you can open and close the blinds whereever you happen to be. Keeps the burglars guessing on whether someone is home or not.
- You may want motorized blinds anyway: They come in handy when blinds can be scheduled to close and open during both summer (hot) days and winter (cold) days. Can help save on home energy costs. What comments can you share?
