What Is Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation?

PowerView® Automation is an advanced motorization system that allows your Hunter Douglas shades to move automatically throughout the day based on schedules you create. Whether you're home, at work, or away on vacation, your window treatments can operate automatically to enhance comfort, privacy, and energy efficiency.

Using the PowerView App, homeowners can create customized schedules that align with their daily routines. Shades can open in the morning, adjust throughout the day as the sun moves, and close automatically in the evening, all without manual operation.

The result is a home that feels more comfortable, more efficient, and more connected to your lifestyle.

A Day in the Life with Automated Shades

Imagine your automated shades working for you from morning until night.

Wake Up Naturally

Instead of relying solely on an alarm clock, schedule your shades to rise at your preferred wake-up time. Natural sunlight gradually fills the room, helping you start the day feeling refreshed.

Protect Your Home During Peak Sunlight

As the afternoon sun intensifies, your shades can automatically adjust to reduce glare and help protect furniture, hardwood floors, artwork, and fabrics from harmful UV rays.

This is especially beneficial for Massachusetts homes with large windows, open-concept living spaces, and sun-filled rooms.

Enjoy the Evening View

As sunset approaches, your shades can adjust automatically to maximize outdoor views and allow natural light to fill your home before nightfall.

Privacy at Bedtime

At the end of the day, shades can close automatically to provide privacy and create the ideal sleeping environment.

The entire process happens automatically, creating a home environment that responds to your needs throughout the day.

Convenience for Busy Massachusetts Homeowners

Life in Greater Boston moves quickly. Whether you're commuting into the city, working remotely, managing a busy family schedule, or maintaining a second home on Cape Cod, convenience matters.

PowerView® Automation gives you complete control over your window treatments from your smartphone, tablet, or remote control. You can create schedules for individual rooms, entire floors, or your entire home.

Forgot to close the shades before leaving for vacation? Simply open the app and make adjustments remotely.

Homeowners love that their window treatments become part of their daily routine without requiring constant attention.

Smart Home Integration Made Easy

Many Massachusetts homeowners are investing in smart home technology, and PowerView® Automation fits seamlessly into those systems.

PowerView integrates with many popular platforms, including:

• Amazon Alexa
• Google Assistant
• Apple HomeKit
• Control4
• Savant
• Crestron
• ELAN
• Josh.ai
• Loxone
• URC

With voice control capabilities, adjusting your shades can be as simple as saying, "Alexa, lower the living room shades."

For homeowners designing fully integrated smart homes, PowerView provides a sophisticated and elegant solution that enhances both convenience and luxury.

Improve Energy Efficiency Throughout the Year

Massachusetts weather can be unpredictable. Hot summer afternoons, cold winter mornings, and fluctuating temperatures make energy efficiency a priority for many homeowners.

Automated shades help manage solar heat gain and insulation by responding to sunlight throughout the day. During warmer months, shades can close during peak sunlight hours to reduce heat buildup. During colder months, they can be scheduled to maximize natural warmth from the sun.

This intelligent management of natural light can help reduce strain on heating and cooling systems while increasing overall comfort.

For homeowners looking to maximize energy efficiency, Hunter Douglas Duette® Honeycomb Shades paired with PowerView® Automation create one of the most effective window treatment solutions available.

Added Privacy and Security

One of the most overlooked benefits of automated window treatments is enhanced security.

When shades operate on a schedule, your home maintains a lived-in appearance even when you're away. This can be particularly valuable during vacations, business trips, or seasonal travel.

Automated operation also ensures privacy exactly when you want it. Shades can close automatically in the evening, helping protect your family's privacy without requiring any daily adjustments.

For homeowners in busy suburban communities like Newton, Brookline, Wellesley, and Needham, this added peace of mind is a valuable benefit.

Safer for Children and Pets

Safety remains a top priority for families.

Hunter Douglas PowerView® shades feature cordless operation, eliminating the dangling cords commonly associated with traditional window coverings.

This creates a safer environment for children and pets while also providing a cleaner, more streamlined appearance.

Many homeowners appreciate that they can improve both the functionality and safety of their homes with a single upgrade.

Flexible Power Options

Every home is different, which is why PowerView® Automation offers multiple power options.

Available solutions include:

• Rechargeable battery systems
• Hardwired installations
• New construction integration options

Whether you're renovating a historic home in Newton, updating a contemporary residence in Cambridge, or building a custom home in Dover or Westwood, there is a PowerView solution designed to fit your project.
