As smart homes continue to evolve, OneAV has established itself as a leading smart home distributor, guiding installers on the best solutions for fully integrated building control systems.
We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with OneAV that allows us at Umbra to bring the next level of home automation with motorised, automated blinds and shading systems.
This partnership represents a big step toward reimagining the role of blinds in smart home ecosystems and bringing greater energy efficiency, convenience, and style to the UK market.
Blinds Are an Essential Addition to Today’s Smart Home Systems
In the UK, blinds are traditionally seen as decorative finishing touches rather than essential components of a home or commercial space. Through our collaboration with OneAV, we aim to change this perspective, helping people recognise the key role that blinds play in energy savings, occupant well-being, and overall smart home functionality. Umbra’s blinds improve functionality whilst satisfying the traditional aesthetic element of interior design and decoration.
Experience Seamless Integration and Advanced Functionality with Umbra Blinds
Umbra blinds seamlessly integrate with a wide range of smart home systems, providing users with precise control over lighting and privacy at the touch of a button. Our blinds can be programmed through popular smart assistants like Alexa and Google Home and hundreds more, allowing owners to create “scenes” where multiple devices, including blinds, lights, and entertainment systems, respond simultaneously.
Imagine walking into a room, pressing a keypad, and witnessing the lights dim, the blinds lower, and the TV switch to your favourite channel. Automated blinds often serve as an entry point into the home automation market. Some customers begin with blinds and then expand into lighting, multi-room audio, and video distribution.
Choose Umbra Blinds with OneAV
OneAV’s mission is to offer the latest in smart home technology, and we’re proud to be featured as their premier choice for automated shading.
Umbra blinds are now part of OneAV’s robust lineup, and our products come with a range of customisable features designed to make smart living accessible and efficient.
The main benefits of Umbra blinds:
- Total Light Control: Adjust blinds to the precise position you desire for the perfect amount of natural light.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy costs by letting the blinds react to sunlight, preventing overheating and helping retain warmth in winter.
- Improved Comfort and Privacy: Enjoy greater control over privacy and comfort with features that adapt based on time, mood, and real weather conditions.
- Seamless Integration: As part of your smart home setup, use simple voice commands or one-touch scenes to manage your spaces easily.
Umbra blinds also contribute to energy savings and comfort. By utilising sensors that automatically adjust based on sunlight and temperature, our blinds help reduce overheating and keep indoor environments comfortable without excessive reliance on air conditioning. This massively helps minimise your property’s carbon footprint, making Umbra blinds an eco-friendly choice for all spaces, residential and commercial.
OneAV’s Commitment to Innovation and Training
OneAV recently dedicated a day to comprehensive training with our team, to learn everything about the full product range, installation processes, and the technology behind different motors.
Their team is now well-equipped to advise customers on how Umbra’s smart blinds can be seamlessly integrated into larger smart home automation systems. This level of knowledge ensures that customers receive expert guidance, making the installation and use of Umbra blinds a smooth and satisfying experience.
This knowledge will help OneAV better support customer installers in the AV industry while boosting their confidence in recommending Umbra blinds. Umbra blinds are a versatile solution for all customers, whether they are starting off with smart home automation or looking to improve their current smart home systems.
If you’re new to home automation or want to bring innovation to your current systems, Umbra blinds with OneAV can help you change the way you see blinds!
