Are your Lutron shades in Manhattan, NY, programmed to go up with the sun's rising and lower when it's time for bed? Or perhaps you prefer voice control or one touch on your smartphone?

Motorized shades sound like a simple window application, but the enhanced lifestyle they provide is hard to define. Imagine your family sitting around the dinner table as the sun is setting. You stay seated and engaged, enjoying your family and your meal, as all the shades in your home lower in unison. Now, you have the privacy and security you want when night falls without having to do a thing.

This beautiful scenario is made possible because your shades are programmed to lower each day when the sun sets and, because they’re so smart, they automatically adjust the time as winter turns to spring and the days grow longer. When you combine Lutron’s smart shades and smart lights, your home environment is nothing less than magical.

Lutron also automates blinds and wireless drapery tracks.
