Motorized solutions are becoming much more common in today’s smart homes. Although remotely controlled motorized garage door openers were invented in the 1930s, only recently have they became “smart” and integrated into an overall smart home. For example, the Tailwind iQ3 Smart Automatic Garage Controller uses sensors in your cars to automatically open/close your garage doors when you drive up to your home or drive away. It also integrates with a wide range of smart home platforms.
Motorized window coverings, including shades, curtains, and drapes, have become more prevalent in smart homes. Initially, motorized window coverings were controlled through wall switches or proprietary remote controls. Now, there are many models that leverage wireless smart home protocols for integration with an overall smart home solution.
