Jalousier is a networked device that is used to clamp blinds. It automatically adjusts the shutter blades according to the weather, temperature, light, and time. It is expected to save an average family $350 per year in heating costs.

It has been estimated that the average time that an average homeowner spends annually adjusting blinds on the shutters amounts to 3 days. In order to solve this problem, a Bulgarian startup company invented the "Jalousier" device that can be clamped on the existing shutters to automatically adjust the blades according to weather, temperature, light and time.

Jalousier can help you save time and avoid trouble. You don't need to manually manipulate the curtains from time to time. In addition, Jalousier can help save energy use because it can automatically adapt to changes in temperature and weather, knowing to let in the sun and heat when the weather is cold, or prevent light from entering when the weather is hot. For example, once the light is dimmed, the shutters will open, allowing more sunlight to enter the house. If it starts to rain outside, the blades will automatically adjust to put in more sunlight while automatically optimizing to maintain the desired room temperature.

In addition, the user can manually adjust the shutter blades by matching the interface of the application, which means that the user can adjust the blinds remotely before going on holiday or returning home. They can also hold the phone in their hands to do the action and control the blinds. For example, tilting the phone forward allows the blades to move in the same direction.

Other settings include the "Do Not Disturb" ("Do Not Disturb") and "Warmee" modes. The former disable shutters to enhance privacy, while the latter optimizes room temperature. Jalousier also has an alarm clock function. The user can set the shutter opening and closing time, such as opening in the morning and closing in the evening.

Jalousier is powered by six AA batteries and can be connected to smartphones, tablets, and laptops via Wi-Fi and via proprietary Android and iOS apps, or on the browser's control panel. The user can install the Jalousier on existing blinds in seconds without any tools, and it also comes with a CordBox to ensure that the pull rope on the blinds is not accessible to pets and children.

The device contains light and temperature sensors, and also contains Wi-Fi and ZigBee devices for wireless connectivity, so it can be controlled through the application and can theoretically be integrated into home automation systems.

Jalousier's pairing app can act as a remote control for the curtain you are connected to, such as allowing you to create a group of curtains for unified management, or use specific gestures to open or close the curtains. In addition, the app will include weather alerts and other features, such as timely remind you to watch the moon outside.

Sergey Vinogradov, a member of the Jalousier development team, said: “It brings endless possibilities for customization, such as synchronizing shutters with alarm clocks, sharing access permissions with family members, and setting reminders so that a full moon night or the first snowfall can occur. The user will not miss these exciting moments."

Jalousier is currently on the Indiegogo to complete the $140,000 goal. It is expected that this product will be officially shipped in October this year, starting at $ 89 (about *** 540 yuan).
