Your Shades Just Got Smarter with PowerView® Automation
At North County Blinds, we’re thrilled to be an exclusive dealer with Hunter Douglas. Not only can we offer some of the best window treatments on the market, we love being able to offer our customers the newest innovations for their home with the care and expertise of an established local dealer that’s been in the business for nearly 40 years. The newest generation of PowerView® Automation is no exception to the unparalleled standard of products you get when you choose Hunter Douglas window treatments. Freshly designed for 2022, this new generation of PowerView® Automation puts the days of manual adjustments behind you with hands-free Bluetooth technology.
What’s PowerView® Automation?
Automation gives you precise and convenient control of your window treatments. PowerView® Automation is a proprietary technology that we can add to many window treatments installation that creates the ability to operate your blinds, shades, shutters, and more completely hands-free. When this technology is added, your shades can operate independently and even operate on a programmable schedule. Operation of your window treatments has never been easier: from home, you can utilize the Pebble® Remote Control or through voice activation when PowerView® is integrated with smart-home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Siri® on your Apple device or the Google Assistant. At home or away, you can also control your window treatments with the PowerView® app. Straight from your phone, you can change your window treatments and schedule daily “scenes,” preset options for the window treatments throughout your home.
The Benefits of PowerView® Automation
There are so many amazing reasons to upgrade your window treatments with PowerView® Automation. This technology boasts benefits, including the added convenience of hands-free operation, increased home privacy, optimal energy efficiency, enhanced home security, and even increased child safety. Below are just a few of the endless reasons we love PowerView® Automation:
- Convenience – Controlling your window treatments just became a 100% hands-free affair. Not only can you use our unique Pebble® Remote Control or the PowerView® app, when PowerView® is integrated with your other smart home systems, you can adjust window treatments with just a simple voice command. Even better, when you schedule scenes to auto-adjust ahead of time, your window treatments change to your liking automatically. This is a must for hard-to-manage windows like those high off the ground and skylights!
- Privacy – You can schedule every shade in your home to close automatically when you’re away for complete privacy, or even just request to close the shades via voice command when you’re about to leave the house.
- Efficiency – PowerView® has the capability to detect temperature changes outside and optimize your home’s energy consumption by adjusting window treatments accordingly, creating the optimal temperature and energy consumption while you’re at home or away. You can also schedule your shades to your own optimized schedule ahead of time to let in as little or as much light as you desire, depending on the season.
- Security – Add another element of security by scheduling scenes ahead of time or adjusting window scenes remotely to give your home a lived-in look while you’re away.
- Safety – Smart shades are ideal for households with little ones because you no longer have to worry about lift cords. With no exposed cords and the ability for 100% hands-free operation, these shades are some of the safest on the market for children.
- Versatility – The newest generation of PowerView® Automation can be added to an extensive list of Hunter Douglas window treatments, including shades, sheers, shutters, drapery, and blinds.
