Motorized Shades for Smart Home Living

In window coverings, motorization simply means using a motor to operate the blinds or shades, typically controlled by a remote or wall switch. Automation, on the other hand, takes it a step further by adding programming and smart features, allowing the window coverings to adjust automatically based on schedules, sensors, or integration with other smart home devices. 

Automation allows you to set up schedules for your shades, so that shades automatically open and close exactly when you want them to, for everyday convenience.

Here’s a look at just some of the ways this can work for you:

1. Swap your alarm for a gentle wake-up by scheduling bedroom shades to open.
2. Schedule kitchen shades to open while you’re enjoying breakfast.
3. Schedule all shades throughout your house to close in the evening.
4. Enhance security by scheduling shades to move at set times, giving your home a lived-in look while you’re away.
5. In summer or warmer climates, schedule shades to close during the day to keep your house cooler.

Schedules are created and controlled using the manufactures customized app on your smart phone. Take a look below at the Hunter Douglas PowerView video that explains just how easy this process is!
