Benefits of Wi-Fi-controlled roller shutters in your home

/in /by

Everyone has at least one smart appliance in their home, whether it’s a smart speaker, a smartphone, or even a smart coffee machine. So, at Roller Smart, we offer Wi-Fi controlled roller shutters to control when you’re out and about, or simply don’t want to get out of bed!

 

How do Wi-Fi controlledroller shutters work?

Remote controlled roller shutters have been around for decades. However, you have to be right in front of the shutter when you control it and in some cases the signals can be blocked or hijacked.

 

Roller Smart has taken this to a new level. By controlling your roller shutters via Wi-Fi, you can connect to the shutters using your phone from anywhere you have internet. Due to the way Wi-Fi works, the signals cannot be blocked and is almost impossible to hijack. This is because the code used is so encrypted; even the best hackers couldn’t crack it.

 

All you need is your phone. Using our free app, you can control everything. All you have to do is set up an account, connect it to the shutters and you’re ready to go. With your account, the whole family can sign into the app on their own devices and control the shutters separately.

 

What can they do?

If you’ve got noisy neighbours while you’re trying to sleep, you can shut them out from the comfort of your bed. The rollers can block out noise by reflecting the sound waves, stopping them with the thick material.

 

They’re made from only the highest quality materials, which means they’re strong and can protect you from all weathers Australia might throw at you. If you’ve left the house and hail, rain, or even a storm starts, you can close your shutters to keep your home protected from nature.

 

Roller shutters are a great way to control the climate – they can help keep it hot in the winter and cold in the summersimilarly to blocking out noise: by reflecting light rather than absorbing it. By using our Wi-Fi controlled roller shutters, no matter how far away you are, you can make sure your home is nice and cosy ready for you to come home to.

 

If you’re away, you might want to make it look like there’s someone home. You can either control this using the app, or you can even set it on a timer to come up and down at a set time if you have a daily routine. Even if you want them to stay shut, roller shutters are a great way to keep your house secure to make sure no one can get in.

 

This is especially helpful if you’re a fly-in fly-out (FIFO) worker if you’re in and out all the time. As well as opening and closing the shutters, you can adjust the slats which can let in more light and look like there’s someone there all the time, adjusting to the weather and lighting conditions.

 

Why you need to buy your shutters from Roller Smart

We’ve been in the shutter business for over 10 years now, so we know how important high quality materials are to high quality products. All our roller shutters are made from aluminium with polyurethane-filled slats, so they are strong and sturdy, making sure they last as long as you need. We’re so confident in our shutters that we even give a high quality service.

 

We want you to be happy with your roller shutters, so we’ll work with you to choose the design and size you need, and we’ll be by your side the whole way through. So, give us a call on 0438036900 to get your Wi-Fi controlled roller shutters bought and installed exactly how you like it.

/in /by

Do you lay awake at night because of your noisy neighbours? Have you asked time and time again to keep it down, but they just won’t listen? Thanks to our roller shutters, you can keep that unwanted noise outside.

 

How does it work?

Although roller shutters can’t keep out 100% of noise – nothing does –Roller Smart’s latest Smart Block-out Electric Blind technology means they can keep out up to 80%. They are often considered one of the most effective ways to keep out noise pollution, whether it’s from neighbours, roads, or local festivities.The thick and durable materials used can reflect and absorb sound waves from the outside, creating a tight seal between the shutters and the windows.As they are custom built for your windows, there will be no gaps for noise to sneak into because you can adjust the slats to adapt to your needs.

 

Why you should choose roller shutters for noise reduction

They work both ways too! If you want a bit of privacy, or you’re the noisy neighbour people are always complaining about, roller shutters keep noise in as well as out. So, you can practice your drums, build your new project, and keep your private life private from both noisy and nosy neighbours.

 

Noise pollution can be a make or break decision for someone buying a house. If you’re looking to sell, but live in quite a noisy neighbourhood, you might want to consider installing roller shutters. They can put people’s minds at rest knowing that their house will be quiet, private, and also secure as there’s no way someone will be breaking in through these.

 

If you work overnight, they can make sleeping during the day a lot easier. By blocking out the noise, you won’t have to worry about neighbours waking you up, especially if they know you work nights. You can also adjust the slats for the light so with the darkness and the quietness, it will feel like you’re sleeping through the night, but during the day.

 

Roller shutters are extremely cost effective. We use only the highest quality materials in our shutters to make sure you get the best experience and there will be no added costs after the installation – it’s even easy to maintain them yourself.

Keep your house warm this winter with roller shutters

/in /by

With Australian weather comes the unique challenge of keeping your home at its most comfortable temperature all year round. In the summer you want to keep the heat out, and in winter you want it kept in. And that’s where roller shutters come in.

 

How roller shutters keep your house warm

The polyurethane-filled slats in our roller shutters can reduce incoming heat by up to 95%, keeping the hot air in and the cold air out while still being able to control airflow. Due to the multiple material layers involved in making the shutters, they are able to reflect heat rather than store it. Storing the heat, especially in winter, will have the adverse effect on your house – making it even colder than it would have been without and increasing temperatures over the summer. By reflecting it, the cold air doesn’t reach the inside of your house so the layer between the windows and shutters remains warm – similar to how a car gets so hot on a sunny day.

 

Roller shutters also reduce condensation that might occur in your windows. Condensation happens when the warm air interacts with the cold windows which, in turn, cools the warm air down again. Because the shutters keep the windows from becoming cold, the warm air is less able to cool through the windows, heating your home more freely. Not only does condensation make your house colder, but it can also be the cause of damp in the windows that can damage them and create cracks for a draught to come through.

 

Roller shutters are great for your pocket

Having to keep using your heaters and electrics to warm you up over the winter can be an expensive habit, but it’s one you feel you need to stay happy. However, roller shutters are extremely affordable to install with no added costs. We use only the highest quality materials in our roller shutters, which means they’ll be in great condition, still working, in years to come. With the amount of money that you save on your energy bills, these roller shutters will pay for themselves.

 

They are custom made to your design

You might be worried about the aesthetics of roller shutters, but we make sure that they’re not an eyesore. While we have the experience and knowledge ofroller shutters, you have more knowledge of your house. You choose the material, colours and styles, and let us do the rest. Of course, we’ll give you tips and advice, but the rest is up to you.

 

Benefits of roller shutters

If you’re still wondering if roller shutters are for you, there are even more benefits they bring with them, for example:

 

  • They reduce noise pollution – if you live by a busy road, or just have noisy neighbours, adding extra protection to your home with roller shutters can keep the noise out more effectively, keeping your home both warm and quiet.
  • They protect against all weathers – they don’t only keep out the heat or cold, they are also fit to protect against wind, hail, and anything else the Australian weather could throw at you.
  • They make your home more secure –if you’re worried about the amount of burglaries in your area, roller blinds are the answer. No one can break through these roller blinds when they’re down, so you can sleep easy at night knowing your house is safe.
  • They’re Wi-Fi-controlled – control your shutters from anywhere with our Wi-Fi controlled shutters. Perfect for when you’re staying out later or just want it to look like someone’s home.

So, get yourself some roller shutters from Roller Smart today by calling 0438036900 or visit our factory to see what we can do for you.

How to Insulate Your Home and Reduce Noise with Roller Shutters.

/in /by

Roller shutters have been around for a long time, and that’s not surprising considering what a good job they do for enhancing security of a building. Using roller shutters can seal all vulnerable entry and exit points, providing the strongest possible (legal) protection against intruders.

An overlooked potential of roller shutters, however, is that they can also help to insulate your home. This includes both thermal insulation and audio insulation.

These are not the roller shutters your grandparents used

Old time roller shutters were much simpler devices than what exists today. The modern roller shutter is lighter, thicker, stronger, and quieter than the older models. Different materials are used, and the designers actually thought about the insulation factors, because this is an issue of much greater importance in the modern world than at any other time in history.

Another major difference is in the way they are operated. The earliest models of roller shutters had to be manually opened an closed individually. A time consuming and difficult job that had to be performed every time you wanted your home or business to be effectively secured.

After this, electric roller shutters were invented, and switching systems allowed multiple roller shutters to be opened and closed from a single point. This was a major step forward because it made the process of closing an opening a much quicker and easier task.

Then came the invention of the remote control, which not only improved convenience but also safety. You no longer had to leave your vehicle to operate the device, so if it was raining you could avoid getting soaked, and you didn’t have to worry about lurkers lying in wait, ready to ambush you as you approached your door.

As good as this was, there were still flaws in the design that could allow for the remote signal to be blocked or hijacked (this is a process of duplicating the signal so it can be used to gain unauthorized access).

The very latest systems use an encrypted access code that is virtually impossible to crack, and instead of operating through a line of sight remote control, they are now IoT devices that can be accessed through an Internet connection. This means you can use your phone to control it, and the whole process has end to end encryption, so there is no chance of the signal being hijacked or blocked.

How modern roller shutters achieve better thermal insulation

These products are constructed from multiple layers of material, arranged in a way that helps reflect heat instead of absorbing it. When materials absorb heat, that heat builds up and is released into the building adding to the internal temperature (it can also work the other way, absorbing heat from inside the building and taking it outside). This is called “heat transference”.

The worst sources of heat transference in your home are the windows. Fully transparent windows allow light to pass straight through, and the different wavelengths of light (especially UV light) create heat inside the glass as they pass through it. During the day, sunlight hits the glass and rapidly heats it up, and that heat energy is transferred to the air inside. This is exactly why the interior of your car gets so hot on a sunny day. Using roller shutters can reduce the amount of money you need to spend on Perth glaziers.

At night, the cold air outside pulls heat energy back out through the glass, which becomes very cold to the touch. Using barriers such as curtains and reflective solar shields, you can limit the effect of heat transference to some extent.

If you use even thicker and more opaque barriers such as roller shutters, the heat transference is almost completely blocked. Most of the heat energy is reflected back, and only a small amount is able to warm the interior layers of the shutter material.

Heat transference still occurs (it is an unbreakable law of physics), but it is slowed down enormously.

Shutters also help with noise insulation

The arrangement of the materials also helps to dampen noise. It is a similar principle, but this time instead of blocking light waves, the material is blocking sound waves. Sound waves travel straight through thin, single layer materials, as many who have stayed in cheap hotels can attest. Each layer of material weakens part of the sound wave, slowing it down and reducing its intensity.

The good thing about this is that it works both ways. You will be less troubles by sounds coming from outside, and you’ll also have better privacy.

Reduces energy costs and environmental impact in a single step

Better insulation means less energy gets wasted for heating and cooling. This obviously will help to lower your overall energy costs, and also is better for the environment. Today roller shutters are so inexpensive that the energy savings they can provide means the shutters practically pay for themselves over time.

How Our WiFi Operated Roller Shutters are a Breakthrough in Modern Security Technology

/in /by

Roller shutters have long been one of the primary defences against burglary of residential and commercial premises. Easy to operate, and yet difficult to breach without detection, the roller shutter is a formidable barrier for an intruder to contend with.

Roller shutters can be used to protect doors, windows, garages, and warehouses. They work by creating a solid metal barrier that covers the entire opening. They should not be confused with an ordinary “roll-a-door”, because they’re much stronger and they’re designed to provide a high level of security.

The remote control roller shutter

A big step forward in roller shutter technology was the development of remote control operation, which allowed authorised persons to access the protected area more easily  and safely. The major advantages remote control operation introduced were:

  • Convenience – you do not need to exit your vehicle in order to operate the roller shutter. This would be especially an asset when it is raining.
  • Safety – by not needing to exit the vehicle to operate the roller shutter, a driver and passengers are not vulnerable to attack by lurkers.

Roller shutters operated in this way could either be operated by the driver of the vehicle or by security personnel. The flaw in the original design, however, is that traditional roller shutter remote control signals can be hijacked and also blocked.

Blocking a remote control signal will render it ineffective, allowing more time for a potential attacker to initiate an attack against a target vehicle before it has the opportunity to find shelter inside a building or flee.

Hijacking a remote control signal allows an intruder to duplicate the signal code and then use it at any time to access the protected area, thus making it no longer protected.

Rollersmart has the answer

Now we have taken this technology to a higher level, allowing your roller shutters to be operated via an internet connection.

This method means the signal is much more difficult to block due to the way WiFi works and is virtually impossible to hijack because the code sequence is protected by powerful encryption.

A traditional remote control beams a single signal bearing the code sequence in a straight line between the vehicle and the remote control signal receiver. WiFi control does not work like this. WiFi signals are assembled from multiple fragments that bounce around off any available surface.

Besides that, the system does not rely on line of sight operation anyway. Attempting to block the signal directly will not work.

You can operate your roller shutter using your phone, which can give the impression that it works like a traditional remote control, but it’s more complex than that.

What happens, in reality, is that instead of sending the access code sequence directly from the phone to the receiver, it is transmitted from your phone to your ISP server, and then relayed across the Internet to your WiFi router, and only then is it sent to the receiver controlling the roller shutter.

During this whole journey, the access code remains encrypted, and can’t be simply hijacked. Even if somebody did manage to intercept the signal, it is very unlikely that they would understand the purpose of it, or where it was intended to be used.

As a result, you have total convenience and security. Another way this technology can enhance security (especially if combined with other methods of a similar nature) is to allow you to create an impression of a building being occupied, even if there is nobody present, by remotely operating the roller shutter at random times of your choosing from anywhere you can access the Internet.

Available now in Australia from Rollersmart

This convenient and secure technology can be yours by ordering your roller shutters from Rollersmart. We don’t charge any extra fee for providing you with the technology; it is absolutely free for all our customers. There is no better way to help protect your home or business, so take advantage of this special offer by calling us on 04-3803-6900 or use our contact form to get in touch.
