There’s something satisfying about window treatments that adjust themselves around your daily routine. Morning light comes in when you’re ready for it. Shades lower as afternoon sun hits the windows. At night, privacy arrives without you walking from room to room.

That’s the idea behind Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation. This smart operating system adds motorized control to compatible Hunter Douglas window treatments, giving homeowners an easier way to manage light, privacy, comfort, and everyday routines.

For Richmond, VA, homeowners considering new window treatments, here are several reasons Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation deserves a closer look.

Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation is Easy to Use

Convenience is one of the biggest advantages of automated window treatments.

PowerView® lets you operate compatible shades using the PowerView® App or a PowerView® remote. Instead of manually adjusting several shades individually, you can control treatments by room or create Scenes that position multiple shades exactly where you want them.

That convenience becomes particularly noticeable with large windows, multiple windows in the same room, or treatments installed in hard-to-reach locations.

With the optional PowerView® Gateway, you can expand the system’s capabilities with remote access and integration with compatible smart-home systems. Voice control is also available with supported platforms, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Scheduling with PowerView® Automation

Good window treatment automation does more than respond when you press a button. It can handle everyday adjustments automatically.

The PowerView® App allows you to create Scenes and schedules based on your household’s routine. Bedroom shades might open in the morning. Treatments facing strong afternoon sun can lower later in the day. In the evening, shades throughout the home can close for privacy. Schedules can even coordinate shade movement with sunrise or sunset.

Once those routines are set, you don’t have to think about making the same adjustments every day.

Improve the Natural Light in Your Home

Richmond summers can bring plenty of heat and bright sunlight. During cooler months, that sunshine may be something you want to welcome inside.

PowerView® gives homeowners more control over when sunlight enters a room. Hunter Douglas notes that scheduled shades can contribute to better energy efficiency by helping manage solar heat throughout different seasons.

There’s also the comfort factor. Lowering shades before glare becomes annoying can make a living room, home office, or media space more pleasant without interrupting what you’re doing.

You Get Enhanced Privacy

Privacy needs often change throughout the day. Open shades can bring in daylight during the morning, while closed treatments may feel more comfortable after dark.

With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, those changes can happen on a schedule. You can have treatments close automatically in the evening instead of remembering to adjust every window yourself.

Schedules can also move shades while you’re away, giving your home a lived-in appearance. With a PowerView® Gen 3 Gateway and internet connection, RemoteConnect™ allows you to manage compatible PowerView® shades, Scenes, and schedules when you’re away from home.

Cord-Free Operating System with PowerView® Automation

PowerView® automated shades eliminate exposed lift cords, creating a cleaner appearance while also making them a safer option for homes with young children.

Automation can also complement the design of the room rather than compete with it. You still get to focus on the color, texture, opacity, and style of your Hunter Douglas window treatments. PowerView® simply changes how you operate them.
