Something like Alexa or Google Home
Hey guys, I've been thinking about adding electric pergola screens to my outdoor space, but I also want to integrate them with my smart home system. I know some screens have motorized features, but I’m curious if it’s easy to connect them to something like Alexa or Google Home. Has anyone here done something like that? How do the controls work, and is it worth the investment? I feel like it could make my outdoor setup a lot more convenient!

That's a great question! I’ve actually looked into integrating smart home systems with electric pergola screens, and it’s definitely possible. Most manual louvered pergola screens are designed to work with smart home systems. You can connect them to Alexa, Google Home, or even through an app on your phone. For example, you can set up voice controls or automate the screens to drop or retract depending on the weather. It’s honestly quite convenient. I did this with a setup at my place and now I can control the screens with a simple voice command when I'm relaxing outside. I’d suggest looking into products that support smart home compatibility, like those that pair well with other home devices. If you’re also thinking about heating your outdoor space, you might want to check out this Pellet Outdoor Heater to complement the screens for those chilly nights. It’ll really boost the comfort of your outdoor area, especially when you can control both the screens and heating together!
