Benefits of Motorized PowerView® Automation

Imagine a home that wakes up with you. As the alarm sounds, the bedroom shades glide upward, welcoming the soft embrace of the morning light. Downstairs, the living room shades open just enough to welcome the sun while keeping the glare off the TV. You didn’t lift a finger.

Your house did it all for you. This isn’t a scene from a futuristic movie. This is the everyday magic made possible by Hunter Douglas’s PowerView® Automation system.

In the world of smart home technology, motorized window coverings are no longer a luxury reserved for the few; they are a practical, beautiful, and incredibly convenient upgrade for any home.

They blend seamlessly into your life, offering a surprising range of benefits that go far beyond simple convenience. Let’s dive into the many ways PowerView® Automation can make your life easier, safer, and more efficient.

1. Effortless Control at Your Fingertips (and in Your Voice)

The most immediate benefit is the sheer ease of use. Gone are the days of wrestling with tangled cords or straining to reach a stubborn blind. PowerView® puts complete control into your hands—literally. With a sleek remote, a dedicated wall switch, or simply the app on your smartphone, you can adjust any shade in the house.

Perfect for those tricky-to-access spots—tall patio doors, skylights, or windows perched above a bathtub—this innovation makes reaching them effortless. But it gets even better.

This system works effortlessly with popular smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit. This means you can control your environment with simple voice commands. “Alexa, open the kitchen shades to 50%,” or “Hey Google, goodnight,” to close every shade in the house as you get into bed. It’s the ultimate in hands-free convenience.

2. Your Home, The Ultimate Personal Assistant: Automated Scheduling

Imagine if your window coverings could make decisions on their own. With PowerView® Automation, they can. The powerful scheduling feature allows you to program your shades to open, close, or adjust at specific times of the day.

This automation aligns your home with your natural rhythm and daily routine.

• Good Morning: Program your bedroom shades to open gradually over ten minutes, simulating a natural sunrise for a gentler, more refreshing wake-up call.

• Energy Efficiency: Set your south-facing shades to lower automatically during the peak afternoon heat, reducing your air conditioning workload and saving significantly on energy bills. In the winter, have them open to capture free solar heat.

• Peace of Mind: Schedule your living room shades to close every evening at dusk, ensuring privacy and making your home look occupied even if you’re on vacation. No more coming back to a dark house or worrying you forgot to close the blinds.

This “set it and forget it” automation means your home is always working for you, creating a perfect environment without you ever having to think about it.

3. A Smarter Home is a Safer, More Valuable Home

Safety and security are paramount for any homeowner. PowerView® Automation enhances both. By eliminating the cords and chains found on traditional blinds, the system creates a much safer environment for young children and pets, removing a common household hazard.

From a security perspective, the ability to control your shades remotely or on a schedule is a powerful deterrent to would-be intruders. A house with shades that open and close at regular intervals looks lived-in, even when you’re miles away.

Furthermore, this smart upgrade is a significant value-add to your property. In today’s real estate market, buyers actively seek out homes with integrated smart technology.

Installing a premium system like PowerView® Automation isn’t just an investment in your current comfort; it’s an investment in your home’s future resale value.

4. Uncompromised Style Meets Cutting-Edge Function

A common concern with technology is that it can be clunky or detract from a room’s design. With Hunter Douglas, the opposite is true.

PowerView® Automation is designed to work with a stunning array of their signature shades and blinds, from the soft, fabric-like textures of Duette® Honeycomb Shades to the clean, modern lines of Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters.

You are never forced to choose between style and smarts. The technology is discreetly woven into the product, preserving the beautiful aesthetic of your window treatments. In fact, by removing unsightly cords, the window décor looks even cleaner and more elegant.

5. Built for the Long Haul: Quality and Durability

Hunter Douglas has long been a hallmark of exceptional craftsmanship, and the PowerView® system continues that tradition.

These are not gadgets; they are built-to-last components of your home. The motors are designed for quiet, reliable operation over thousands of cycles. This is a long-term solution that you can depend on for years to come, making it a wise and durable investment for your home.

Conclusion: It’s Time to Experience the Difference

Motorized PowerView® Automation offers far more than simply raising or lowering your shades. It’s a holistic system that enhances your comfort, simplifies your routine, saves you money on utilities, protects your family, and adds a layer of sophisticated style to your living space.

It represents a thoughtful step into a more intuitive and responsive way of living.
