Integrating motorised skylights into a home automation system can elevate the overall smart home experience by providing seamless control and coordination with other connected devices. Before you decide to integrate motorised skylight into your automation system you should consider the following:
Ensure that the motorised skylights are compatible with popular home automation protocols and systems. This compatibility allows for easy integration with a variety of smart home platforms and devices.
Integrate motorised skylights with voice-controlled virtual assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit. This enables you to open or close skylights and adjust settings using voice commands, adding a layer of convenience to your home automation setup.
Create automation scenes that involve motorised skylights as part of specific routines. For example, you can configure the motorised roof windows to automatically open during the morning to allow natural light into the space or close during the evening for privacy and energy efficiency.
Integrate motorised skylights into your home security system. For example, you can program the skylights to close automatically when the security system is armed, adding an extra layer of protection to your home.
Leverage the automation system to enhance energy efficiency. Integrate a smart skylight with temperature sensors, and program them to open or close based on the indoor temperature, reducing the reliance on heating or cooling systems.
When you start looking at ideal motorised skylights, our warm recommendation is a Velux motorised skylight.

Have you ever wondered if you could integrate a weather station into your automation system? Connected Logics can make that happen without any fuss. Integrating a weather station into the control system for window furnishings is a practical approach that allows for dynamic adjustments based on real-time weather conditions.
Connected Logics will choose a high-quality weather station that provides accurate and up-to-date information on various weather parameters. This will include data on temperature, humidity, wind speed, and sunlight intensity.
The window furnishing system can be programmed to respond to specific weather conditions. For example:
If the weather station detects a rise in temperature, the window coverings may close to block out excess heat.
In windy conditions, the system may automatically close the skylight to protect against drafts.
Professionals can set up the system to accommodate user preferences. For instance, homeowners can have the option to override automated settings or set specific preferences for different weather scenarios.
The entire setup, including the weather station and window furnishing control system, can be integrated into a broader home automation system. This allows homeowners to manage window coverings along with other smart devices using a centralised control interface or mobile app.
By integrating weather data, the system can contribute to energy efficiency. For instance, during cold weather, window coverings may open to allow sunlight to passively heat the interior, reducing the need for heating.
