In Reno, we've come to know our fair share of scorching summer days. Finding an effective way to keep our homes cool, comfortable, and energy-efficient during these sweltering months can be quite the challenge. Thankfully, we now have an innovative and sophisticated solution from Horizon Window Fashions: the PowerView Automation system.

PowerView Automation: Redefining Window Treatments

PowerView Automation is an advanced window treatment system that allows your motorized drapes and shutters to move in harmony with the sun's trajectory. This automation system not only revolutionizes how we manage the amount of sunlight entering our homes but also enhances our control over indoor temperatures and energy efficiency.

By automating your window treatments to open with the sunrise, tilt during peak sun intensity, and close after sunset, you're maintaining an optimal indoor climate throughout the day without constant manual adjustment. This ingenious application of technology makes PowerView Automation an integral part of any smart home setup.

Creating an Energy-Efficient Home

PowerView Automation makes it easy to capitalize on the sun's daily patterns for maximum insulation. By managing heat gain during the summer months, you can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and reduce strain on your cooling system, leading to significant savings on your energy bills.

With PowerView Automation, you're not merely adopting a new gadget; you're investing in an energy-conscious future. This forward-thinking approach aligns with global efforts towards more sustainable living practices, making PowerView Automation an environmentally-friendly addition to your Reno home.

Window Coverings and PowerView Automation: Style Meets Intelligence

PowerView Automation is not a one-size-fits-all system; it's designed to work seamlessly with a variety of window treatments, allowing you to tailor your choice based on your aesthetic and functional preferences. Be it motorized drapes, shutters, shades, or blinds, PowerView Automation integrates with your chosen window treatments, adding a touch of sophistication and ease to your life.

Motorized drapes offer an elegant touch to any room, enhancing coziness while providing excellent insulation. Shutters, on the other hand, bring a classic aesthetic appeal and superior light control. Motorized shades, available in styles ranging from roller to Roman, offer a sleek appearance paired with versatility. Blinds provide unparalleled convenience and an additional layer of privacy, with materials ranging from wood to aluminum.

PowerView Automation gives these window treatments a life of their own. Imagine your drapes, shutters, shades, or blinds adjusting themselves as per the time of the day or your preset schedules. The marriage of style and technology has never been more harmonious.

Enhanced Control and Security

The PowerView Automation system offers multiple control options. The PowerView Automation App lets you adjust your shades from anywhere, while the stylish Pebble remote control offers in-home convenience.

For those seeking a hands-free solution, PowerView Automation works seamlessly with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit, and Google for voice-activated control.

Beyond convenience, the ability to adjust your window treatments remotely enhances home security. Using the RemoteConnect™ feature, you can create the illusion of an occupied home, potentially deterring intruders and providing peace of mind while you're away.

A Testament to Design Excellence

The innovative design of PowerView Automation has been recognized with the prestigious Red Dot Product Design Award. This award-winning design is visible in elements like the PowerView Hub, which acts as the system's control center, and the PowerView Repeater, which extends the signal range throughout your home. These components work seamlessly together, ensuring your entire home is covered and connected.

Embrace the Future of Home Automation

PowerView Automation offers a harmonious fusion of style, functionality, and convenience. With its intelligent features and user-friendly interface, it's an essential addition to any modern, energy-conscious home. It's not just about beating the Reno heat; it's about embracing the future of home automation and elevating your living experience. Explore the power and potential of PowerView Automation today, and transform your home into a cool, smart sanctuary with the window treatments that best suit your lifestyle and preferences.

Hunter Douglas Window Treatments

Nearly all of the Hunter Douglas window treatments can be automated now with our Powerview Automation. The exclusive Hunter Douglas Powerview® automation system allows people to enjoy the convenience of opening and closing their windows, blinds, or shades with the touch of a button.

Most of the Powerview window treatments are battery-powered, and the battery is hidden behind the headrail for a sleek design, so you don’t have to worry about it being out in the open.

You also have the option to have your Hunter Douglas Powerview® system to be hard-wired, eliminating the need for batteries. However, the motors that control the window treatments are very quiet so there’s no noise to bother you while your blinds or shades are in motion.

Hunter Douglas Powerview Setup

The Hunter Douglas Powerview setup begins with the new Powerview® Hub, which includes technology that lets you use voice commands to control your window treatments. The Powerview Hub connects to a Wi-Fi router to communicate with your window coverings that feature Powerview automation.

Now, with certain devices, you won’t even need to press a button to command your window blinds or shades. Download the Hunter Douglas Powerview setup app to make the process even easier by allowing you to set scenes and timers, which will put an end to turning your window treatments on-and-off by hand.

Hunter Douglas Alexa, Apple Home, Google

The Hunter Douglas Powerview Hub now supports devices such as Amazon Echo and Alexa to control your window treatments vocally. All you have to do is connect the devices, adjust your settings, and you’re ready to go!

This has made the process of opening and closing your Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Shades effortless. Check out a few of the devices that can be integrated with the Powerview hub.

Amazon Alexa Smart Shades

To activate the Powerview hub with Amazon Alexa, go to the Alexa App on your mobile device and select “Menu.” Next, select the Skills and Games tab and search “Powerview Scenes Skill.” Enable the Powerview Scenes Skill and then select “Discover Devices.”

Once connected, you can command your Alexa device by saying “Alexa, turn on…” followed by the Powerview Scene name. For example, if you say “Alexa, turn on Good Morning,” your Powerview hub will activate the scene-setting for that command and open or close your blinds to the desired setting. Take a look at this video that shows exactly how to connect your Amazon Alexa to your Powerview hub.

Hunter Douglas Powerview Apple HomeKit

To use the Apple HomeKit with your Hunter Douglas PowerView® Shades, you’ll need to use your Apple Home app and Siri on any of the following Apple devices:

After you’ve installed your PowerView system, it’s time to enable HomeKit directly from the PowerView app. Once enabled, your PowerView shades can be controlled using Apple Home, and Siri with HomeKit enabled accessories from your Apple device.
