Convenience, Security & Luxury at the Touch of a Button

As the cool weather starts to roll in and you’re preparing for the winter ahead, you and your family might find yourselves spending less time at your vacation home on the shore of Monmouth County, NJ. Your vacation home’s security will likely be top of mind as you settle into your primary residence for the colder seasons.

One surefire way to help keep your beach property protected while you’re gone is with automated window treatments, which you can easily command at the touch of a button—no matter where you are.

Keep reading to learn about how this smart home solution can grant you peace of mind in more ways than one.

Protect Your Interiors

Even in winter months, the sun’s rays can be detrimental to your furnishings without proper protection. If you have beautiful bay or floor-to-ceiling windows throughout your beach home, then your furniture and artwork could be susceptible to damage due to extensive exposure to UV rays. Upon returning to your beach home, you don’t want to encounter faded or bleached furniture, floors and brittle paintings.

Automated window treatments are a smarter solution to preventing UV damage to your interiors. From the convenience of a mobile app, you can easily adjust the shades in your beach home remotely to ensure all windows are shielded when the sun is at its brightest.

Lutron motorized roller shades or drapery tracks can conceal any room of your home from the sun at your touch, or you can set them to a schedule to adjust on their own so you never have to lift a finger. Such convenience is perfect for while you’re gone, but it’s just as handy for when you’re using your beach home and want the perfect lighting and protection at the right time.

Guard Your Home from Potential Intruders

Permanently lowered shades will protect your interiors from the sun, but they might also signal to potential burglars that your home is unoccupied. To discourage intruders from eyeing your beach home while you’re gone, take advantage of preset schedules to adjust your shades throughout the day and simulate occupancy.

For example, you can schedule your shades to lift in the morning, lower to halfway in the early afternoon, and close completely when the sun is strongest against your windows. In the evening, your shades can lift again if you so wish, or you can keep them closed until the morning. The schedule is up to you! You can even create different schedules for different rooms, which is beneficial if you have windows facing both east and west and want to shield furnishings in both areas when the sun is rising or setting.

Remotely Control from Anywhere

The best part about Lutron motorized window treatments is the ability to control and manage them with zero hassle, no matter where you are. Whether you’re back at your primary residence or returning to the shore, you can easily grab your smartphone or tablet and open the Lutron app. Via the app, your automated window treatments are entirely at your command.

Tap a button to check the status of your shades at any time. Adjust them, edit your schedules, and take complete control of your system from anywhere. Simplify every component of your automated shading system with this remote feature.
