21.10.2025 Energy saving by Somfy team Smart Shading: Warmth and Comfort Exactly When You Need It Autumn has begun. Outside the wind is blowing and leaves are falling, but inside you want warmth, calm and comfort. How can your shading system help achieve this? With smart roller shutters and screens from Somfy you keep the chill outside and create the exact atmosphere you want indoors. Smart comfort, without the hassle. More Than Just Blocking Light When you think of shading you often think of stopping glaring sunlight. But did you know it also helps prevent prying eyes, glare and — perhaps most importantly — heat loss during autumn and winter? Shading and roller shutters form an additional insulating layer for your windows. Some more than others, but all contribute to a warmer home.. Warm Days, Cosy Evenings Imagine: it’s a dull morning and you leave for work. You keep the shading closed, because, well, you expect no sun today anyway. But nothing is as changeable as the weather in our country: halfway through the morning the sun breaks through. Thanks to Somfy’s smart automation your screens or roller shutters open in time to let that free solar warmth in. And when dusk falls? They close again automatically. This way your home is passively heated—without you having to think about it. When you come home, your house feels pleasant. You don’t immediately have to turn up the heating to banish the cold. That’s clever use of what you already have. Light, Atmosphere and Balance Smart screens filter daylight in a natural way. Not too bright, not too dark—always exactly the right balance. This is how you bring warmth and light into your home at any time of day. And because they reduce prying eyes, your home feels even more comfortable and secure. Thanks to intelligent control you choose exactly the atmosphere that matches your moment: soft light in the morning, privacy in the evening. And all with one press of a button, or fully automatically. The Smart Brain Behind Your Comfort At the heart of this system is the TaHoma switch. This is the smart brain of your home. With it you connect all your motorised roller shutters, screens and window coverings with light and temperature sensors. Via the user‑friendly app or wall switch, you easily set up scenarios. So your home works with you, in every season. Always the Right Reaction to the Weather With the Sunteis io sun‑and‑temperature sensor for outdoors, your shading automatically adapts to the weather. Is the sunshine intense? Then your screens open to heat optimally. Does the sun’s strength drop or does it get colder? Then the shading closes automatically to retain the warmth. The Amy 1 io automatically ensures a pleasant indoor climate with its temperature sensor. It detects when the inside is getting too cold and keeps the indoor climate comfortable. And all that without you having to lift a finger. Smart Savings Without Effort We all forget sometimes. Or we’re just busy. And let’s be honest: who still thinks at work to open the shading via the app? That’s precisely why automation is so powerful. Somfy ensures your home makes maximum use of the sun when it can. And as soon as it’s needed, everything closes again to preserve comfort. The result? A comfortable home, lower heating costs and less hassle. Window Blinds at the Press of a Button Interior shading such as roller blinds, pleated blinds or curtain tracks can also be easily automated. With the TaHoma switch you determine the light, mood and privacy in your home. And you can do that simply via your smartphone or voice assistant.. An Investment That Warms You from Within Automatic shading might sound like a luxury, but it’s above all smart. Especially now that energy‑saving is becoming ever more important. Smart shading helps you save costs and makes your home more comfortable—now and in the future. You use the sun as a free source of heat, just like your solar panels on the roof. So why wouldn’t you also make full use of that light for your indoor climate? Discover Smart Shading Whether it’s autumn, winter or summer—with Somfy you enjoy smart comfort all year round.
