Adding PowerView® Automation to Skylights

Skylights are a stunning feature that not many homes have. Not only do they let in ample lighting, but they let you take a peek at the sky above for a moment of Zen. Of course, there is a tricky element to skylights that many homeowners run into at some point, and that is the question of covering them. No one wants to keep hobbling up onto a chair to open or close their skylight’s shades, but having nothing but sun or nothing but shade seems like an unfair ultimatum. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas has an operating system that lets you open, close, or adjust your skylights without pretending like you are rock climbing to try and achieve some shade or sun. Read on to learn more about PowerView® Automation and see why they are perfect for skylights.

PowerView® Automation near Cape Coral, Florida (FL), that lets you operate skylights easily.

Take Your Pick

We absolutely love having options when it comes to home design. After all, not everyone will have the same needs when it comes to their home. That is why you can take your pick when it comes to PowerView® Automation. In fact, you can choose from the PowerView® App, Pebble® Control, and even your voice when it comes to operating your skylights.

The PowerView® App offers a set-it-and-forget-it scheduling feature that moves your skylight shades at a precise time each day. It can open your skylights at 8 AM on the weekdays and shut then before you go to work without you lifting a finger.

If you don’t prefer apps, we encourage you to check out the Pebble® Control option. This system allows you to adjust your skylight shades with just the press of a button. You can also mount this sleek control on your wall so you never lose it.

Finally, you can command your skylight shades to move with your voice by connecting your PowerView® Automation system with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, Google Assistant, and a range of other smart-home devices.

A Minimalist Design

Skylights are sure to grab the attention of anyone who visits your home, and with good reason! That is why you don’t want to clutter your skylights with unsightly battery packs that adorn most motorization options. With PowerView® Automation from Hunter Douglas, however, you can don’t have to worry about such a thing. This is because PowerView® Automation features a battery pack that is concealed behind the headrail, so it doesn’t detract from the beauty of your skylight windows. This is perfect for those who enjoy clean, uncluttered designs at their window.
