Smart Home Integration
Technology moves so many parts of our daily lives, so why not our window coverings, as well? Convenience and style go hand in hand with PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas. The operating system was the recipient of the prestigious 2018 Red Dot Design Style Award, and it continues to impress both discerning consumers and industry experts alike. Your motorized blinds will connect seamlessly to most smart-home systems, as well as your Android™ and Apple® smartphones and tablets.
Sunlight on Your Schedule
Your smart blinds operate independently of one another and can be set to open and close when it is most convenient for you. Set individual Scenes for each of your blinds using the PowerView® app. They can also open at midday in cooler weather to let natural light warm your room. This not only helps preserve natural resources but can also lower your heating costs. Your smart blinds can also open or close according to the temperate changes sensed by your smart home system. There are few things like waking up to the rising morning sun, and by simply setting your location in the PowerView® app you can schedule your motorized blinds to open at sunrise and close at sunset. Smart blinds are a great choice for large expanses of windows, or hard-to-reach windows, such as skylights.
PowerView® Programming
Programming your motorized blinds is almost as easy as using them. Use your voice to activate your smart blinds by connecting your PowerView® to Amazon Alexa, Siri® on Apple HomeKit®, or Google Assistant™ using your Google Home™ system.
The PowerView® Hub is required to utilize the PowerView® app to set and activate your Scenes. The device connects to your home’s WiFi to store settings and serves as a central control point for your smart blinds. After your Hub and app are enabled, you can activate the Remote Connect™ feature. Using this tool, you can log in to your PowerView® Automation system globally via the Internet. This feature adds an element of security to your home, allowing you to make your home appear as though it is occupied while you are away.
