A New Era of Home Automation: Umbra Blinds x OneAV.
November 5, 2024
As smart homes continue to evolve, OneAV has emerged as a leading distributor in the smart home sector, guiding installers on the best solutions for fully integrated building control systems.
Our partnership with Umbra allows us to elevate home automation with motorised, automated blinds and shading systems.
A Milestone for Smart Home Ecosystems
This partnership represents a major step forward in reimagining the role of blinds within smart home ecosystems, enhancing energy efficiency, convenience and style for the UK market.
Blinds Are Essential in Today’s Smart Home Systems
In the UK, blinds have traditionally been seen as decorative finishing touches rather than essential components of homes or commercial spaces. Through our collaboration with Umbra, we’re reshaping this view to highlight the critical role that blinds can play in energy savings, occupant well-being and overall smart home functionality. Umbra’s blinds combine functionality with the traditional aesthetic expected in interior design, blending seamlessly into any space.
Experience Seamless Integration and Advanced Functionality with Umbra Blinds
Umbra blinds integrate easily with a wide range of smart home systems, giving users precise control over lighting and privacy with just a touch. Programmed to work with popular smart assistants like Alexa, Google Home and hundreds more, our blinds enable owners to create custom “scenes” where multiple devices, including blinds, lights and entertainment systems, respond simultaneously.
Imagine entering a room, pressing a button and seeing the lights dim, blinds lower and the TV tune to your favourite channel. Automated blinds often act as a gateway into home automation, as many customers start with blinds before expanding into lighting, multi-room audio and video distribution.
Discover the Benefits of Umbra Blinds with OneAV
Our mission is to bring the latest in smart home technology to our customers and Umbra is a premier choice for automated shading. Each Umbra product offers a range of customisable features to make smart living both accessible and efficient. Some of the main benefits include:
- Total Light Control: Adjust blinds to your preferred position for optimal natural light.
- Energy Efficiency: Reduce energy costs as blinds respond to sunlight, preventing overheating in summer and retaining warmth in winter.

Umbra blinds contribute to energy savings by leveraging sensors that automatically adjust based on sunlight and temperature, reducing reliance on air conditioning and helping to minimise a property’s carbon footprint. Umbra is an eco-friendly choice for all types of spaces, both residential and commercial.
