Benefits of Automated Shades
Odds are, you have operated your window treatments manually your whole life. This isn’t often difficult, but it can become tedious. For example, if you have multiple windows in your home, you will have to run around to constantly open, close, and adjust them. This can be even more annoying if you are running late and don’t have time to close all of your shades. Of course, leaving them open can cause some worry of people looking into your home. There is also the added frustration of windows that are hard to reach. Letting the sun constantly shine through can damage your interiors over time. Additionally, leaving a window uncovered because it is hard to reach can cause your home’s energy to flow right out and outside air to creep on in. Fortunately, Hunter Douglas offers automated shades that solve these problems.
Benefit 1: Your Schedule
One of the main benefits of automated shades is that they can mold to your schedule. If you want your window treatments to open and close at a certain time every day, you can program this into your PowerView® App. After, your window treatments will open and close automatically. You can also adjust your window treatments in real time if you need some extra shade or sun throughout the day. No more running around to enjoy these simple things. Of course, if you decide to switch things up, you can easily change the settings in your PowerView® App to have your window treatments adjust at different times throughout the day. You can even operate your window treatments when you are not at home. This is perfect for days when you rush out of the house and don’t have time to close the blinds, shades, or shutters.
Benefit 2: Custom Options
As mentioned above, another benefit of automated shades is that there are multiple ways to use them. You can use the PowerView® App with your smart phone or tablet to schedule your window treatments to move. You can also use the Pebble® Control that lets you operate up to six window treatments at a time with the click of a button. Finally, you can pair your PowerView® App with a variety of smart-home devices, including Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Assistant. This means that you can control your window treatments with just the sound of your voice.
Benefit 3: Safety
Last but not least, another benefit of automated shades is safety. If you forget to close your window treatments on the way out, you can utilize the PowerView® App from anywhere in the world. Additionally, this cordless system is perfect for homes with small children. This completely eliminates any risk of tangles or trips. Or, if you are simply tired of dangling cords, you will love adding PowerView® Automation to the mix.
