Shade automation is more than just raising and lowering your shades with a button on a smart device or your voice – it can help you create a healthier, energy efficient home that enhances the comfort of its occupants while reducing utility bills. Motorization and shade automation systems can be integrated into a variety of other ambiance-creating smart home technologies like lighting, thermostats and security systems for a comprehensive solution that maximizes the performance of your spaces.
Modern smart shade solutions such as PowerView(r) Automation from Hunter Douglas connect over Thread wireless, rather than standard Wi-Fi, which provides a more reliable and stable connection. This means they can be connected to devices that work with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant – giving you the ability to control your shades using voice commands.
You can also customize your mobile app with a wide range of settings and features, including creating scenes that automatically move your shades to desired positions at specific times of day, setting up customized reminders to open or close your shades, as well as monitoring the battery status of your shades. You can even monitor your shades from anywhere in the world if you have an internet connection or cellular data.
Shades that can be scheduled to move at set times based on the time of year and day, eliminate the need for homeowners to remember to manually adjust them – which is especially useful when dealing with high windows and skylights, or large windows that span multiple stories, making them difficult or impossible to reach. Additionally, they can be programmed to move randomly during a vacation mode, boosting security by appearing as if the home is lived in when you are away.
Regardless of which type of motorized shade you choose, all of our products provide superior performance and are engineered to be durable, low-maintenance and easy to operate. Many of our motorized shades also feature a low-voltage wire that runs alongside the cord, providing a more secure installation and eliminating the need for messy or dangerous rewiring of the system.
