Why smart shades?

• Added Convenience—easily control shades with a button press of the remote, tap on your mobile device, automatically, or even with your voice.

• Increased Privacy—schedule shades to automatically close whenever you want.

• Better Energy Efficiency—schedule shades to raise and lower to keep interiors warmer or cooler, depending on the season.

• Enhanced Security—give your home a lived-in look while you’re away by scheduling shades to automatically raise and lower at set times.

• Safer for Children—because smart shades lack lift cords, they’re a safer option than shades with exposed cords.

 

How do I control PowerView shades and blinds?

• Wall Remote or Pebble® Handheld Remote
  Easily control individual or all shades in a room with a PowerView® Remote.  Endless color combinations to make it fit your home.

• Smart Phone or Tablet with the PowerView® App
  Through the app you can control each shade in your house individually or all at once.  The app also allows you to create scenes and schedule them for a specific time each day.  I like to have my shades down 1/3 in the afternoon; this is a "scene", a specific way the shades are set in a room or house.  I can then schedule that scene for specific days of the week and at specific time.  You can create endless scenes and schedules.

• PowerView® Hub & Home Integration
  Add a PowerView® hub to control your shades from anywhere in the world and integrate it with your Smart Home.  Nearly all smart home platforms work with Hunter Douglas and the PowerView® app.  Alexa, Apple Home, Google, Contol4, & Josh just to name a few.  We help you set up the PowerView® app in your home but we do not integrate it into your smart home.  Many home owners will do this them selves or for more advanced systems hire a home integrator.

• Voice
  Yes with the PowerView® hub and home integration you can tell your home assistant to open or close your shades.

How are they powered?

• Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Batteries
  No more AA or C batteries!!  Now all motorized shades can have a lithium-ion rechargeable battery.  These batteries are either behind the shades or many times are now "IRB" Internal Rechargeable Batteries.  Most customers that use their shades twice a day report they need to charge them every 12-18 months.  

• Solar Chargers
  Can be added to many shades for easy maintenance or hard to reach windows.  They will keep your Lithium-Ion battery charger year round.

• Hard Wired
  Many new and custom homes are pre-wiring for motorized shades.  Each window has a low voltage wire that runs to a DC power supply.  No batteries, no charging, no maintenance!  Please let me know if you would like me to work with your contractor at time of pre-wire to coordinate this option.​​
