Pella's SmartSync technology allows shades or blinds to be controlled by a remote control or home automation system.
Pella introduces its newest innovation, SmartSync technology [1] to help save energy in homes and businesses. The integrated system allows shades or blinds — like snap-in options in Pella Designer Series windows and patio doors — to be controlled simply by a remote control or by a home or building automation system through Web-enabled devices like computers and most smart phones.
