Connected Home
Kensington For Home offers motorized shades designed for seamless convenience. Control them effortlessly through a user-friendly app, your smart speaker, or by integrating with a third-party home automation system. Experience the perfect blend of style and technology with shades that adapt to your lifestyle.
Types of Connections
Operating your motorized shades can be as simple or as connected as possible! Whether it’s a simple hand-held remote, or connecting to a home automation platform like Control 4 or similar, Kensington’s motorization systems give you ultimate flexibility.
Remote Control: Control your shades with a simple button-press on your hand-held remote. The remote is affixed to the wall with a magnet.
App Control: Using an app for your smartphone combined with an Internet Hub, your shades can be controlled from your home or anywhere in the world.
Voice Control: Using your smart speaker (IE: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit or Siri) in conjunction with a wifi hub, allows you to simply control your shades by voice commands.
Wall Switch: KENSINGTON FOR HOME motorization systems can be controlled by a switch placed directly on your wall, matching existing decor.
Third-Party Integration: All of KENSINGTON FOR HOME motorization systems such as Savant, Control4, Lutron, Crestron and others.
Amazon Alexa
To control your motorized shades via Amazon Alexa, connect your Volta Pulse2 Hub or Somfy MyLink to the internet. Using your smart phone and Alexa app, link the Amazon skill and begin using your voice for shade control.
Google Home
With your motorized shades and our MyLink and Volta WiFi bridges, manage and control your motorized shades from the Google Home and WiFi bridge. Utilize the Google Assistant to naturally control your shades with your voice.
Apple HomeKit
KENSINGTON’s Volta WiFi bridge is designed for compatibility with Apple HomeKit. Simply set up the Volta Wifi hub and app, then instruct Siri to control your smart shades, with your voice, via a variety of Apple Devices.
Speak Naturally
Smart Speakers connected to KENSINGTON’s Volta or Somfy WiFi hubs will respond to clear and simple instructions to control your smart shades rather than focusing on specific phrases or percentages.
Scene Control
Streamline control of scenes created in your Volta Pulse 2 App. Give your scene a logical name, for example: Good Morning. Google will recognize this scene when you activate it with your voice.
Control Like a Light
Voice Control treats shades like switches, so it’s easy to think of controlling them like lights. To raise your shades, say “Alexa, turn on…” and “Alexa, turn off…” to lower.
Automate Scenes Tailored to You
Using the Home app, personalize your shades by programming how your shades interact with daily events. Set a scene for waking up, bedtime, movie time for any other time of the day.
A unique set of scenes available include holiday scenarios, environmental conditions as well as entertainment scenes.
Home app offers a truly customized experience.
3rd Party Automation
For advanced setups, KENSINGTON shades support integration with leading home automation platforms. Whether you select a Somfy or Volta motor platform, your A/V Integrator can easily connect your motorized shades to the rest of your home’s systems.
