The AXIS Gear Motorizes You Window Coverings to Save Electricity

— November 6, 2015 — Eco
As we're all aware, keeping your thermostat at an appropriate temperature in accordance with exterior weather helps save money, but the AXIS Gear takes things one step further by allowing you to make your window coverings smarter.

Able to be installed in a matter of minutes, AXIS Gear works by opening and closing your window coverings at predetermined times that you set or in reaction to weather/temperature conditions (when paired with additional sensors like the Nest home thermostat). Ideal for those who want to wake with the sun or have window coverings react accordingly when you aren't home, AXIS Gear is a great addition to the connected home.

Currently funding on Indiegogo, AXIS Gear is solar powered to control costs even more.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Automation - AXIS Gear allows for smarter window coverings that can open and close based on preset schedules or in response to weather conditions.
2. Energy Efficiency - AXIS Gear helps save electricity by adjusting window coverings to optimize temperature regulation.
3. Internet of Things (iot) - AXIS Gear can be connected to other smart devices, such as the Nest thermostat, to create a more interconnected home environment.
Industry Implications
1. Home Automation - AXIS Gear is a game-changer in the home automation industry, offering innovative window covering solutions.
2. Energy Management - AXIS Gear contributes to the energy management industry by providing a cost-effective solution to regulate indoor temperature.
3. Smart Home Devices - AXIS Gear is a valuable addition to the smart home devices market, facilitating convenient and efficient control of window coverings.
