Smart Shading
Sun responsive
Shading automatically adjusts according to sunlight and the orientation of your home.
Climate connected
Reduce unwanted solar heat or make better use of natural warmth when conditions allow.
Automatic privacy
Create privacy automatically as evening arrives or according to your routines.
Weather aware
Use local weather information to help protect suitable external shading from adverse conditions.
Always in control
Automatic every day, with simple manual control whenever you want it.
Smart Shading
Can smart shading help keep my home cooler?
Yes. Automatically reducing direct solar gain before rooms overheat can support indoor comfort and potentially reduce demand on active cooling.
Can I still control the blinds manually?
Absolutely. Automatic operation handles routine adjustments, while physical controls and the Loxone App remain available for manual changes.
Can shading work together with my lights?
Yes. Lighting and shading can coordinate according to daylight or operate together as part of complete scenes.
Can shading work with my heating and cooling?
Yes. This is one of the key benefits of integrated automation. Shading can support climate control by helping manage solar heat gain.
What happens in strong winds?
With suitable external shading, weather sensing and configuration, the system can move vulnerable shading into an appropriate protected position when configured conditions are reached.
Do I need Loxone-branded blinds?
No. Compatible third-party motorised shading can potentially be integrated. The exact solution depends on the motor and control interface.
Can existing motorised blinds be integrated?
Potentially. DY-Techniek will need to assess the existing motors, controllers and wiring to determine whether and how they can be integrated.
Shading that thinks for itself
Pressing a button to close every blind is convenient. Not needing to press the button at all is intelligent.
Smart shading allows your home to automatically manage blinds, curtains and compatible external shading according to what is happening throughout the day.
As the sun moves, different façades can respond. When temperatures rise, shading can help limit unwanted solar heat. When evening arrives, selected blinds can close for privacy.
And whenever you want something different, manual control is still there.
Intelligence at every window
Your home knows where the sun is.
Not every window experiences sunlight in the same way.
Orientation, time, sunlight, indoor temperature and local weather can all influence whether shading should be open, closed or somewhere in between.
Loxone brings this information together so each shading zone can respond according to the conditions around it.
- Respond to changing levels of available sunlight.
- Consider which side of the property is being affected by the sun.
- Coordinate shading with indoor climate requirements.
- Adapt behaviour throughout the day and evening.
- Use local conditions as part of the automation strategy.
Sun-responsive shading
As the sun moves, your home responds.
Morning sunlight on the east side of your home is very different from intense afternoon sun on a west-facing façade.
Intelligent shading can treat different parts of the building independently rather than moving every blind at the same time.
Morning
Allow useful natural light into appropriate areas as the day begins.
Midday
Respond as sunlight affects different windows and spaces.
Afternoon
Protect sun-exposed rooms from excessive glare and solar heat where required.
Evening
Transition from solar management towards privacy and evening routines.
The result is shading that responds to the actual conditions around your home, not simply a fixed timer.
Weather protection
When the weather changes, your home can react.
External blinds, awnings and other exposed shading can be vulnerable to adverse weather.
Where the selected shading system supports it, local weather information can be used to trigger appropriate protective behaviour.
For example:
Wind increases
↓
The system identifies configured limits
↓
Suitable external shading retracts or moves to its protected position
↓
Normal automated operation resumes when appropriate
The exact response depends on the shading product, installation and configuration.
Individual shading zones
One home. Many orientations.
A south-facing living room and a north-facing bedroom shouldn’t necessarily receive the same shading instructions.
DY-Techniek can divide the property into appropriate shading zones so different windows, rooms and façades respond independently.
Orientation
Consider where individual windows are positioned.
Room use
Adapt shading around how different spaces are used.
Solar exposure
Respond to the sunlight affecting relevant areas.
Privacy
Create different behaviour for street-facing and private areas.
Individual preference
Allow specific spaces to operate differently where required.
This creates a much more considered result than simply opening and closing every blind together.
Scenes & routines
Shading becomes part of the scene.
Because shading is connected to the wider intelligent home, it doesn’t have to operate alone.
One command can change far more than the blinds.
Good morning
Shading
Opens appropriately as the day begins.
Lighting
Responds according to available daylight.
Climate
Continues maintaining the desired room conditions.
Leaving home
Shading
Moves according to the property’s away strategy.
Lighting
Unnecessary lights switch off.
Security
Configured protection activates.
Automatic when it should be
Your home handles the routine. You choose when to intervene.
Automatic shading shouldn’t take control away from you.
Everyday movements can happen according to sunlight, temperature, time and weather while intuitive manual control remains available whenever you want a different result.
Loxone Touch
Control appropriate shading directly from simple physical controls.
Loxone App
Manage configured shading and other home functions through supported smartphones, tablets, computers, smartwatches and compatible vehicle interfaces.
Scenes
Change multiple shading zones and other connected functions together.
Automatic
Allow the home to handle repetitive daily adjustments in the background.
Automatic by default. Adjustable whenever you want.
Compatibility
Intelligent control. More freedom of choice.
The right shading solution depends on the architecture, glazing, interior design and requirements of the property.
DY-Techniek can integrate suitable motorised shading technologies into the wider Loxone automation system where compatible control interfaces are available.
Depending on the project, this can include suitable:
Roller blinds
Venetian blinds
Curtains
External blinds
Awnings
Roller shutters
Other motorised shading
The exact integration approach depends on the motor, controller and communication technology being used.
This means intelligent automation can be designed around the right shading for the home, rather than the architecture being dictated by the automation.

Let your home respond naturally
Follow the sun.
Without following the blinds.
From automatic privacy and daylight management to climate integration and local weather awareness, DY-Techniek can create intelligent shading that quietly adapts throughout the day.
