Imagine your curtains opening automatically as the sun rises, closing at sunset for privacy, or dimming your home for movie night — all without lifting a finger.

Motorised curtains and blinds are one of the most popular smart home upgrades, combining luxury, convenience, energy efficiency and security. At Intello Home, we supply and install both Trendy Stuff and Somfy motorised curtain and blind systems, all of which integrate seamlessly with Control4 Smart Home Automation.
