But you may have some questions about how it works and what it can do for you. Here are three of the most common questions about Powerview® Automation and their answers.

What Is Powerview® Automation?

Powerview® Automation is a system that lets you control your Hunter Douglas window treatments remotely or automatically. You can use the Powerview® App to create scenes and schedules for your shades so that they move to your preferred positions at different times of the day. You can also use the Pebble® Remote Control or the SoftTouch™ Wand to adjust your shades manually. And if you have a smart-home device like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit™, you can integrate your shades with voice commands.

What Are The Benefits Of Powerview® Automation?

Powerview® Automation offers many benefits for your home and lifestyle. Some of them are:

Added convenience

You don’t have to get up from your couch or bed to adjust your shades. You can do it from anywhere in your home or even outside your home with the app.

Increased privacy

You can schedule your shades to close automatically when you want more privacy or security.

Better energy efficiency

You can schedule your shades to open and close according to the sun’s position and the season, helping you save on heating and cooling costs.

Enhanced security

You can give your home a lived-in look while you’re away by scheduling your shades to move at random times.

Safer for children

Because Powerview® Automation shades are cordless, they are a safer option than shades with exposed cords.

How Are Powerview® Automation Shades Powered?

There are different power options for Powerview® Automation shades, depending on your preference and budget.

Some of them are:

  • Battery-powered: This option uses standard or rechargeable batteries that are hidden behind the headrail or in a battery wand. This option is easy to install and maintain and works well for most window sizes and shapes.
  • Plug-in: This option uses a plug-in transformer that connects to a nearby outlet. This option is ideal for larger or heavier shades that require more power or for windows that are hard to reach.
  • Hardwired: This option uses low-voltage wiring that connects to a central power supply. This option is perfect for new construction or renovation projects, as it offers enhanced reliability and ultra-quiet operation.
