Is It Time to Upgrade Your Window Treatments?
Is your home the only one on the block that still has outdated blinds with dangling cords? Once considered expensive and hard to install, motorized blinds and shades have come a long way. Hunter Douglas, the leader of innovative window treatments, introduces their newest motorization system called PowerView™, which is available on virtually any window treatment.
You Don’t Have to Be Home to Operate Your Window Treatments
Being on vacation or coming into a dark home with the window treatments wide open doesn’t have to happen anymore. With the aid of the PowerView™ App, you can now program your window treatments to move to the exact position you want and then schedule or control them using your tablet or smartphone. The RemoteConnect™ feature and an Internet connection allows you to operate your shades from anywhere in the world using your mobile device.
PowerView™ Pebble™ Remote—Beautiful and Ergonomically Designed
Not only can the PowerView system be operated via the PowerView App, it can also be controlled with the PowerView Pebble remote control or Pebble Scene Controller. A modern take on the traditional remote control, the PowerView Pebble Remote and Scene Controller are battery-operated. They allow you to set your window treatments to open and close at selected times. For example, you can choose to have them open at sunrise and close at sunset, depending on your needs.
- Pebble Remote Control – You can preset and operate up to six different groupings of blinds and shades—either together or individually—with just a press of a button.
- PowerView Pebble Scene Controller – Offers an advanced display screen. You can preview and select different room scenes, different shade positions, and different combinations of shades that you previously programmed using the PowerView App.
Battery Power Makes It Stress-Free
The majority of PowerView motorized window coverings are battery-powered, making them very easy to install, maintain, and operate. The battery pack is hidden behind the headrail.
Home Integration for Your Whole Home
PowerView motorized window treatments can also be seamlessly integrated with other whole-home automation systems. Just synchronize your “scenes” to automatically activate in the coordination with your other smart home devices. Popular compatible systems include:
- Nest®
- Logitech®
- Crestron®
- VRC®
- IFTTT®
- Control 4®
- Elan®
- RTI®
- Savant®
Motorized Horizontal & Vertical Window Treatments
Both horizontal and vertical window treatments can be motorized. The up and down buttons will open and close horizontal products such as Duette® Honeycomb Shades. For vertical products such as Luminette® Privacy Sheers, a right click will rotate the veins open and a left click with close them. In both applications, the stop button will stop the window treatment at the desired position.
Safe Window Treatments
Dangling cords are finally a thing of the past. Along with the added convenience features of cordless operation, PowerView Motorization creates a safer home environment for children and pets. Call or visit our showroom to learn more about other cordless operations systems available.
