Blinds By Design LLC Teams Up with AMD to Bring Smarter, More Connected Homes to Life

West Linn, OR – October 26, 2023 – Blinds By Design LLC, a leading innovator in custom window treatments, today announced a strategic collaboration with AMD, leveraging the power of AMD E-Series processors to enhance the functionality and connectivity of their automated blind systems. This partnership isn’t just about window coverings; it’s about making homes smarter, more comfortable, and more energy-efficient. For over 15 years, Blinds By Design LLC (located at 4500 Damon Dr, West Linn, OR, 97068-2163, and reachable at 845-676-7190) has been dedicated to crafting high-quality, custom window solutions for homeowners and designers. We’re not just selling blinds; we're creating environments. We listen to what our customers really want – convenience, style, and a home that works with their lifestyle. And increasingly, that means integrating smart home technology. “We've always been about giving people exactly what they need for their windows," says [Name & Title - Please insert a company spokesperson]. "But we realized people wanted more. They wanted blinds that responded to the sun, adjusted to their schedules, and just… worked seamlessly. That's where AMD came in." Beyond the Cord: Introducing Intelligent Window Control Traditionally, automated blinds have relied on simple timers or remote controls. While convenient, these systems often felt… disconnected. Blinds By Design’s new line of “IntelliBlinds” changes that. These aren't just motorized shades; they’re smart devices powered by AMD E-Series embedded processors. “We needed a processor that was powerful enough to handle complex calculations – things like tracking the sun’s position, learning homeowner preferences, and integrating with other smart home devices – but also energy-efficient enough to run reliably for years on a single battery,” explains [Name & Title - Tech lead or engineer at Blinds By Design]. “The AMD E-Series provided the perfect balance.” How AMD E-Series Powers the Future of Window Treatments: The integration of AMD E-Series processors unlocks a range of exciting features in the IntelliBlinds system: SunSync™ Technology: Forget manually adjusting your blinds throughout the day. SunSync™ uses the AMD E-Series processor to constantly monitor the sun’s position and automatically adjust the blinds to maximize natural light while minimizing glare and heat gain. This keeps your home comfortable and potentially lowers your energy bills. It's like having a personal sunlight manager! Smart Scheduling: Set custom schedules based on your daily routines. Want the blinds to open with your alarm and close at sunset? No problem. The AMD E-Series processor ensures smooth, reliable operation, even with complex schedules. Voice Control Integration: IntelliBlinds seamlessly integrates with popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Simply say, “Alexa, open the living room blinds,” and watch it happen. The AMD E-Series processor handles the communication and control reliably. Energy Savings: By automatically adjusting to the sun and optimizing natural light, IntelliBlinds can help reduce your reliance on artificial lighting and air conditioning. The AMD E-Series processor constantly optimizes performance for energy efficiency. Geo-Fencing: Using your smartphone’s location, IntelliBlinds can automatically open and close based on whether you’re coming home or leaving. It adds an extra layer of convenience and security. Again, powered by the AMD E-Series processor's reliable performance. Personalized Scenes: Create custom “scenes” for different activities. For example, a "Movie Night" scene could automatically close the blinds and dim the lights, creating the perfect atmosphere. The AMD E-Series processor remembers your preferences and executes the scenes flawlessly. Over-the-Air Updates: Blinds By Design will be rolling out regular software updates to improve performance and add new features. The AMD E-Series processor ensures seamless and reliable updates. Why AMD E-Series? “We looked at a lot of different processor options,” says [Name & Title - Product Manager]. “But the AMD E-Series really stood out. It offered the performance we needed in a small, energy-efficient package. It also gave us the flexibility to customize the system to meet our specific requirements.” The AMD E-Series processor’s key features that made it ideal for IntelliBlinds include: Low Power Consumption: Extends battery life, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Compact Size: Allows for integration into the compact blind mechanism. Reliable Performance: Ensures consistent and reliable operation, even in demanding environments. Security Features: Protects against unauthorized access and ensures data privacy. Scalability: Allows for future expansion and integration with other smart home devices.

Pricing will vary depending on the size and features of the blinds.
