Example of Automated Window Treatments

West-facing shades lower automatically in late afternoon to reduce glare on a television while preserving the room view earlier in the day. In that kind of Davis shade and window treatment project, the term Automated Window Treatments would describe a broad category for shades, blinds, draperies, and window coverings that respond to controls, scenes, schedules, or sensors. Davis would use that understanding to account for fabric selection, motor type, power or wiring, keypad and app control, and sun or glare schedules, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
