Motorized Window Treatments are a Game-Changer

Who would have thought technology and window coverings would pair so beautifully? Hunter Douglas has innovated motorized window treatments that have emerged as a real game-changer for 2024, moving quietly and gracefully with the touch of a button via the Pebble® remote, the PowerView® app, or with voice commands. This innovation is changing how home and business owners interact with their living spaces.

Window Fashions of Northern California features Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation as an upgrade for several window treatment styles, and when you visit our showrooms in Fairfield and Fremont, our team can show you how it works—and we know you’ll be impressed. This enhancement is available in the following styles:

• Blinds
• Cellular shades
• Roller shades
• Roman shades
• Sheer panels
• Sheer shades
• Vinyl shutters
• Woven wood shades 

How Do Automated Blinds Work?

Motorized window treatments have small motors integrated into their frames, so there’s no need
to worry about dangling cords or connected wands. With Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation, the system uses convenient batteries, hardwiring, solar power, or plug-in adaptors. Instead of needing to get up and open, close, or adjust the window treatment, the small motors do the work for you. They’re so
quiet that you won’t even hear a thing.

Using Bluetooth technology, your window treatments will operate in real time, with two-way
communication. You can even program them in advance to move at certain times of day. That puts you in control, even when you are out of the house.

Here are the four PowerView® Automation control options:

Hunter Douglas Pebble® Remote

This smaller, streamlined handheld device is a big step up from older-style, clunky remote controls and can even be wall-mounted for convenient access.

PowerView® App

Download this on your phone or tablet and control your window treatments with a quick touch.

PowerView® Gateway and Voice Assistants

PowerView® Automation works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home Kit. Seamlessly integrate PowerView® Automation into your smart home system. 

What Are the Benefits of Motorized Window Treatments?

Anyone who’s ever forgotten to close their shades before bed and was woken up too early by the sun will appreciate the convenience of PowerView® Automation. You can set your shades to open at a reasonable hour and close when darkness approaches. Change the settings anytime—imagine how helpful that would be when you are out of town and want your house to look like someone is there.

This level of control and convenience is also energy efficient, as you can close, open, or adjust the window treatments to regulate room temperature. Doing that regularly can save money on your energy bills. Motorized window treatments are also safer because they don’t have exposed cords. That’s an essential feature if you have young children or pets.
