Abstract
We disclose a window blind that includes a security feature. The disclosed window blind includes a plurality of slats, at least one of which includes a hollow core. The hollow core includes at least one pressure sensor, a controller, and a battery. The pressure sensor detects a change in pressure when an adjacent window or door is opened or broken. The controller may be connected to the pressure sensor and to multiple light fixtures and/or audio speakers throughout the building. Program code in the controller may receive instructions which include a defined order in which the controller sends a signal to each of the light fixtures and audio speakers causing them to actuate.
