PowerView® Automation, PowerView® Motorization, Smart Window Treatments

Smart-home features have become so widespread these days. We can control everything from our lightbulbs to our robot vacuums with the sound of our voice. It only makes sense to extend that to window treatments, which is why we at The Shade Shop love PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas. Here are just a few of the reasons we think you’ll love it, too.

1. Ease of Use

The best thing about PowerView® Automation by far is its ease of use. Control all your window treatment adjustments with the touch of a button on the Pebble® Remote or in the PowerView® App. Schedule your window treatments to open and close on time in the PowerView® App so you never even have to think about it. They can even open and close with the sunrise and sunset times in your area. You can integrate your PowerView® window treatments with popular smart home systems for the convenience of voice control, including Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and more.

2. Get Your Window Treatments’ Full Value

When they take too much time to adjust, our window treatments tend to get underutilized. PowerView® can help you get the full use out of your investment, especially when it comes to energy efficiency and security.

Energy Efficiency

Leaving your window treatments open too much of the day ignores their utility in keeping your home energy efficient. Large expanses of glass leak heat in the winter and let too much heat in during the summer, making your HVAC system work harder than it ought. With PowerView® Automation, you can schedule your window treatments to close automatically during the heat of the day to improve the energy efficiency of your home without having to lift a finger.

Security

Window treatments play an important role in home security by preventing would-be thieves from seeing your home layout and contents when you’re not there to protect it. However, the amount of time it takes to close all your window treatments before you leave for work means that often you don’t close them at all, leaving your home vulnerable while you’re away. Integrate PowerView® to a smart home system to use voice commands as you head out the door, or use the PowerView® App to schedule your window treatments to close when you leave for work.

3. Wide Range of Styles

One of the best features of PowerView® Automation is that you never have to sacrifice style to get the functionality you crave. PowerView® is available on a wide variety of window fashions from Hunter Douglas, including blinds, roller shades, roman shades, window shadings, privacy sheers, cellular shades, and more. They even offer the only motorized shutters on the market – Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters.
