With motorized blinds, gone are the days of manually tugging at cords or grabbing a step stool to close those hard-to-reach window treatments. In fact, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation can adjust your window treatments in real-time or based on a recurring schedule through the Pebble® Remote, PowerView® App, or even your voice when connected to smart home systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and more.

Forgot to close the blinds before work? Boarding a plane for a long vacation and realized you left the living room shades open? Not a problem! The PowerView® Automation system can be accessed from anywhere in the world, giving you complete control and ultimate convenience over your windows.

Aside from being finicky, dangling cords can pose a risk to homes with small children or pets. Luckily, motorized shades remove hazards from the equation by eliminating the need for cords. Whether you use the app, remote, or voice, PowerView® Automation adjusts your shades perfectly without cords. If you prefer something with a traditional twist, SoftTouch® Motorization features an ergonomic, battery-powered wand to raise and lower several Hunter Douglas shades.

Speaking of safety, motorized blinds also provide an extra layer of security to your home. Since these window treatments can operate on a schedule, you can have your shades and blinds lift, lower, and just throughout the day to make it look like you’re home. This helps deter potential intruders from targeting your space while you are away.

Though an investment, PowerView® Automation can actually save you money in the long run when it comes to energy efficiency – especially when paired with Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades!

This is because these window treatments can be scheduled to close when the sun is at its peak during the summer to keep your home cool and open during sunny winter days to increase your home’s natural heating. As a result, your home will feel more comfortable all year long without you having to run to the thermostat or air conditioning. Over time, this can help reduce your home’s energy bills and help you save a little extra money each month.

Whether you want to automate a single window treatment or each window covering throughout your home, we’re excited to show you all of the benefits of Hunter Douglas motorized blinds, shades, and shutters.
