Perks of Automated Shades

Window treatments are wonderful additions to the modern home that allow us to enjoy ample sunlight, beautiful views of the great outdoors, and privacy when we need it most. Of course, no matter what type of window treatment you have, there is one small annoyance that comes up whenever you want to enjoy these perks: adjusting them. While it’s not the end of the world to have to constantly adjust your window treatments throughout the day and night, it can get a little tedious.

This is especially true if you are elbow-deep cooking dinner, already settled down for a movie before realizing a streetlamp is glaring off your TV, or when you leave the house in a rush and forget to shut your blinds halfway to your work. Additionally, handling dangling cords can be hard for those with mobility issues and can pose a threat to homes with small children. Fortunately, one of the perks of automated shades is that you no longer have to manually adjust your window treatments. Read on to learn more about the perks of automated shades from Hunter Douglas.

Your Window Treatments, Your Way

One of the benefits of automated shades is that they can be operated in a variety of ways. For example, you can adjust your window treatments in real-time or schedule them to lift, adjust, and lower them anytime, from anywhere,  with the PowerView® App. If you prefer to have a dedicated physical device, the Pebble® Control is a sleek, wall-mounted remote that allows you to adjust up to six window treatments at a time.

Finally, if you want to go totally hands-free, you can connect your PowerView® Automation to Amazon Alexa, Siri®, or Google Assistant to control your window treatments with your voice. Whether you are cooking, heading out for work, or have hard-to-reach windows, PowerView® Automation will give you ultimate control over all of the window treatments in your home.

Added Home Safety

Another benefit of automated shades is the added safety that they add to your home. If you are on vacation,  or at the office in the middle of a presentation, and realize that your windows are all open, you will worry about who will see into your home. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation allows you to close your window treatments from anywhere in the world. Additionally, if you have a home with small children, then you will no longer have to worry about dangling cords at your windows. Since PowerView® Automation is a cordless operating system, you will never have to worry about trips, tangles, or choking hazards.
