You’ve likely heard of the award-winning PowerView® Automation system from Hunter Douglas, but do you know about its many benefits? The Potomac Paint & Design Centers team shares why we love PowerView® Automation, and we think you’ll love it, too.
PowerView® Automation Benefits for Your Home
Security
Your home is more enticing to intruders when you’re away. With PowerView® Automation, you can set schedules for your window treatments to open and close or use the PowerView® App to adjust them anytime, from anywhere. Irregular movement of your shades or blinds will make it look like someone is always at home, which can help deter criminals. Covering your windows at night will keep your home’s interior out of sight to protect your privacy.
Safety
Cords are unsightly and dangerous and can be a safety hazard for children and pets. PowerView® Automation eliminates the need for cords and allows you to adjust the shades or blinds on windows that are hard to reach. This perk is great for homes with oversized windows or skylights – no more grabbing the step stool or moving furniture to close your shades.
Energy Efficiency
Conserving energy is essential for the well-being of the environment and your bank account. The heat gain and heat loss through your windows make up as much as 30% of your utility costs. By opening or closing your shades or blinds at midday, you can take advantage of the sun’s natural heat or keep it out. With PowerView® Automation, you can adjust multiple window coverings simultaneously from your living room couch or your office across town.
User-Friendly
One of our favorite things about PowerView® Automation is its ease of use. Whether you’re using the PowerView® App on your phone or tablet or the intuitive Pebble® remote, controlling your window treatments is nearly effortless. You can even sync PowerView® Automation with most smart home systems and control your window coverings using basic voice commands. Choose from several rechargeable power options, including battery-operated wands or wall-mounted designs.
Convenience
If you’ve ever forgotten to close the bedroom shades before you get cozy, you’ll appreciate the convenience of being able to lower your shades or tilt your blinds closed without getting out of bed. PowerView® Automation is also an excellent alternative to an alarm clock. Schedule your shades or blinds to open at sunrise and awaken gently instead of to the sound of a jarring alarm.
Compatibility
PowerView® Automation is compatible with many Hunter Douglas window treatments, so you don’t have to choose between shades you love or automation. Whether you’re looking for shades, blinds, drapery, or a combination, PowerView® Automation is likely an option.
