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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
