Customizing Windows with PowerView® Automation

Who doesn’t love customizing their homes? Fun artwork, unique furniture, and beautiful flooring let us express our inner designers and create a space we love walking into each day. Another great way to customize our homes is through our window treatments! You can have sun, shade, privacy, and more depending on whether you want shades, sheers, shutters, or drapery.

If you already have window treatments that you love, you might think that there isn’t anything you can do without getting entirely new ones. We are happy to tell you that with PowerView® Automation you still have many ways to customize your window treatments. This smart shade system allows you to operate your coverings with an app, a sleek remote, and the sound of your voice.

The PowerView® App

So, what exactly is PowerView® Automation? It is an automation system that allows you to control your windows without messing with finicky cords or running around your home multiple times daily to make adjustments. Instead, you can just one of many simple methods to have your window treatments automatically move exactly where you want them to be. Not to mention, PowerView® Automation saves you any risk of accidentally leaving your home without shutting your shades before work, a day out, or a vacation. This is thanks to the PowerView® App.

Innovative and completely customizable, this app lets you control your shades with just the tip of your finger. Once you download the app onto your smart device of choice, you can create custom Scenes that adjust your shades exactly how you like. Do you want your shades opened in the mornings on the weekdays and closed before you leave for work? You got it. Don’t want to get out of bed to adjust the shades while watching a movie? No problem. You can even schedule Scenes to move with the sunrise or sunset, which can help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

Pebble® Remote

Of course, not everyone prefers apps. We are on our phones a lot, and sometimes, we want a break. If this sounds like you, then the PowerView® Automation Pebble® Remote is the right fit for you! This sleek handheld device lets you operate up to six different window treatments simultaneously or separately. Hard-to-reach windows are now a thing of the past!

You can also explore a variety of beautiful colors to make this remote a fun addition to your home. And if you are worried about losing your remote (after all, who hasn’t dug around their couch for their TV remote once or twice?), we encourage you to explore the wall-mounted Pebble Surface Remote.

Your Voice

Last but not least, if you want the cream of the crop when it comes to smart-home technology, allow us to introduce you to the voice feature of PowerView® Automation. This allows you to go completely hands-free when operating your window treatments, which is excellent for when you are in the middle of cooking, relaxing on the couch, or hurrying to leave the house.

Compatible with Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, IFTTT, Logitech, and TRI, PowerView® Automation easily lets you operate your window treatments with just the sound of your voice. Talk about a neat party trick!
