The Frustration of Manual Window Coverings

Many homeowners struggle with hard-to-reach windows. Adjusting multiple shades every morning and evening takes time. This daily chore often leaves rooms too dark or exposed to harsh sunlight.

You might feel overwhelmed trying to find a reliable automated solution. Big-box stores sell motorized blinds but leave you to figure out the complex setup alone. You deserve a smart home system that works flawlessly from day one.

How Hunter Douglas PowerView Automation Works

Hunter Douglas PowerView Automation is a premium system. It connects your window shades to your smart home network.

Definition: What is PowerView Motorization?
It is an advanced wireless system. It allows your shades to move to exact positions throughout the day. Hunter Douglas offers this system to simplify your life.

Complete Control With the PowerView App

The PowerView app turns your mobile device or tablet into a master remote control. The app provides many control options. You can control shades in your entire house from one screen.

You can create scenes in the PowerView app for different times of day. Set a morning scene to open and close specific shades. Create an evening scene to close the shades for instant privacy.

With a simple button press, you get one-touch control over individual shades or multiple shades.

Set Up Schedules for Your Shades

You can easily set up schedules for your shades to automate your daily routine. You can program shades to automatically raise with the sunrise. You can also program shades to raise and lower at set times.

Having shades that automatically raise and lower helps manage indoor temperatures. Having your shades lower at set times helps prevent heat gain in summer. It also reduces heat loss in winter.

This improves your overall energy efficiency. You can even create schedules to enhance security while you travel.

Seamless Smart Home Systems Integration

PowerView motorized smart shades work with your existing smart home systems. The system features wide compatibility. It integrates smoothly with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Control4.

You can adjust your shades using simple voice commands. Connecting to a voice assistant makes daily life much easier.

Choosing the Right Style and Fabric

Hunter Douglas shades come in many beautiful designs. You can choose a light-filtering fabric for living rooms. You might prefer a room-darkening fabric for bedrooms.

Popular options include Duette honeycomb shades and sleek roller shades. You can even add motorized drapery hardware for a layered look.

Because these shades lack lift cords, they provide a clean look. They are also a safer option for homes with children or pets.

Understanding Your Power Options

Every home has different power needs for automation systems. We guide you through the best power options for your specific windows.

A standard wand works well for smaller shades. Rechargeable battery wands offer a more sustainable choice. A single rechargeable battery can power your shades for months.

Hardwired systems provide constant power for new home builds.

Why Professional Installation Matters

Installing motorized shades is not a simple weekend project. Having your shades motorized requires precise setup. DIY setups often lead to connectivity issues.

Hiring a professional ensures your Hunter Douglas PowerView Gen 3 system works perfectly. WindowDecor is an authorized dealer. Our certified installation experts manage the entire process for you.

We handle the precise calibration required for your shades. We install the Gateway Pro to ensure a strong network connection. We program the system and teach you how to use the smartphone app. A single Gateway can manage up to a 16-shade network.

Making the Right Choice for Your Smart Home

Upgrading to Hunter Douglas smart home window treatments transforms your living space. You gain effortless control over light, privacy, and energy efficiency.

Working with a local expert removes all the guesswork. We back our work with a lifetime warranty for your peace of mind.
