Set the Mood with Motorized Window Shades
The light coming into a room is critical for setting the right mood – bright sunlight brings in energy, while gently filtered rays create feelings of relaxation and romance. The design team at A Better Blind & Drapery understands how important light control is and recommends Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation for convenience, precision, and style.
Motorized Window Shades: Winner of Multiple Design Awards
We're proud to be a Hunter Douglas dealer for many reasons, including their long list of industry awards. PowerView® Automation won a 2023 Mark of Excellence Award from the Smart Home Division of the Consumer Technology Association, an honor recognizing the best in custom integration and installed technology. And that's not all: The PowerView® Pebble® Remote won a highly prestigious 2023 iF Design Foundation award.
Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation lets you program and automatically operate a selection of this brand's window coverings with little effort. You can open, close, or adjust them on the spot or at scheduled times. They move seamlessly and quietly – having them is a true luxury.
Setting Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation Scenes
These motorized window shades have built-in motors that connect to the PowerView® Pebble® Remote control, PowerView® App, or smart home system such as:
- Amazon Alexa
- Google Assistant-Alexa/Siri/OK Google
- Siri on Apple devices
It's easy to set your Hunter Douglas motorized blinds to optimize sunrises and sunsets or program them to move when you're not home. We tell our clients that the second feature is especially beneficial when homeowners are on vacation because it looks like someone is home, deterring possible crimes. PowerView® Automation Scenes are combinations of pre-programmed positions to adjust to light and privacy needs during the day and night in the positions you want. How convenient is that? Imagine setting them to open up every morning to let in just enough sun to nudge you out of sleep.
Motorized Window Shades Have Other Benefits
Besides setting the right mood, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation can save you money over time. If you program the system to lower the shades when the weather is hot or cold outside, it offers insulation to regulate that room temperature. That can save you money on energy bills.
And since these systems are cordless, they're perfect for hard-to-reach windows and homeowners with mobility challenges. You'll also see that Hunter Douglas motorized blinds are safer for children and pets since there are no choking hazards.
Hunter Douglas offers this feature on most of their window coverings, including:
- Blinds
- Cellular shades
- Roller shades
- Roman shades
- Sheer panels
- Sheer shades
- Vinyl shutters
- Woven wood shades
They also work exceptionally well on skylights!
