To automate your curtains to open and close at a certain time, you can set scenes within the Forest Connect app. Setting a scene means that you don't have to manually control your curtains. They will automatically take action when the conditions that you have defined are met.
Using scenes to automate your curtains is very convenient. You likely open and close your curtains around the same time every day anyway, so why don't automate it?
Within the Forest Connect app, setting up scenes for your curtains is incredibly simple. To assist you in automating your curtains, we provide some inspiration below. For detailed instructions, please refer to this instruction video. In the video, we cover various topics related to the Forest Connect app, including automating your curtains based on sunrise/sunset, configuring timers, and controlling multiple curtains simultaneously. On our social media we will also share some video's and tips, so keep an eye on our Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn account as well.
We want to give you some ideas on how to automate your curtains. See below four options.
Good morning and good night
Wake up naturally every morning by automating your curtains to open right before your alarm goes off. And automate your curtains to close at a certain time in the evening. You can even set different times for weekdays and the weekend, so it always aligns with your routine.
Holiday time
Of course, you want to avoid break-ins when you are on holiday. To make it look like you are at home, you can set your curtains to open and close at certain times. You can even operate the curtains at random times from your holiday location, simulating even more presence.
Weather conditions
When it is hot outside, it is best to keep the curtains closed to prevent any heat from coming into your home. You can automate your curtains based on outside temperature and based on the weather (sunny, cloudy, windy etc.). This way, your curtains open and close when needed.
Sunrise and sunset
Instead of automating your curtains to open and close at a set time every day, you can also set a scene for sunset and sunrise. The curtains will open or close based on the sunrise time and sunset time of your location.
