Automated Smart Shades Could Revolutionize Your Home or Office

There are a lot of window treatments that you can put in your home or office. Most of them, however, aren’t “smart”. You’ll have to manually change how they open or close. Whether you want a little light or a lot of light, you’ll be responsible for how and when the shades close. There’s nothing wrong with that, but with technology coming to home’s in all shapes, you are going to find that automation has hit window treatments as much as they’ve hit appliances. Simplicity in life is the name of the game with the latest updates from Hunter Douglas. If you’re a fan of automation, this is going to be the next big thing for your home or office.

Automation and Control 


When you have automated shades put in place, you will get full control over how your shades are open and closed, as well as when it happens. You can set this through the “Powerview” App that you can download in conjunction with the installation of this product. Once you have your shades in place, you can have them automated, or you could decide to use the pebble remote controller. The pebble remote control lets you change things on the fly, and give you some more control. The same goes for the app, which gives you ultimate control as well. Control your window treatments from anywhere you may be, whether you’re home or not.

Design Elements


Often times, when innovation like this comes to the home, the design elements don’t follow in terms of selection. That’s not the case with window treatments from Hunter Douglas. What you’re going here is a full spectrum of design choices. From roller shades to screens, to customized elements for oversized windows, bay windows, and much more. You decide how you want the look and feel of your windows, and the automation elements come into place as part of the installation. If you want well designed treatments for your window, this will absolutely comply, and automation is like the icing on the cake.

Seamless Integration 


What makes this stand out, aside from the initial tech, is that you can have full control over several different home elements. With the PowerView App, you can create seamless integration with several home appliances, and compatible systems. From Nest to Crestron and Control4, you’ll find that this is a fascinating element. Communicating with several different platforms becomes easy to manage overall. As far as tech is concerned, Hunter Douglas’s PowerView Motorization will absolutely floor you with design collateral.
