POWERVIEW® AUTOMATION

Experience light exactly when you want it. Completely redesigned in 2022, PowerView Automation gives you precise and convenient control of your Hunter Douglas window treatments. Shades operate independently, moving only when you choose to schedule them.

Programming your window treatments is simple. Operate them from home with the Pebble® Remote Control or through voice activation when PowerView is integrated with smart-home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Siri® on your Apple device, or Google Assistant. For ultimate convenience, the PowerView App is a perfect way to manage your shades when you’re home or away.

Why Smart Shades?

Better Energy Efficiency

Modify the schedule for shades to raise and lower strategically. This helps to block harsh summer rays, preventing interior heat buildup, and can also minimize heat loss during the winter.

Safer for Children

Smart shades lack lift cords, making them a safer option than shades with exposed cords.

Easy and Accurate Shade Control

Thanks to Bluetooth technology, which allows for real-time, two-way communication between your shades and the PowerView system, your PowerView shades will always be exactly where you want them.

Get the App

Use the PowerView App to control your shades with the touch of a finger.

You can even schedule scenes to move with the sunrise or sunset.

The App is compatible with Apple and Android smartphones and tablets.

Powerview Pebble® Remote

The handheld Pebble Remote is the modern answer to clunky remote controls of the past. It easily operates up to six groups of window treatments, provides on-demand control, and comes in a range of colors. If you're worried about misplacing it, go for the wall-mounted remote.

HOME AUTOMATION

Home automation ensures your household runs more efficiently—automatically. By integrating PowerView Automation with a compatible smart-home system, you can synchronize your technologies for maximum convenience.

Want to save energy on hot, sunny days? A home-automation system can detect a temperature increase with your thermostat. In response, the system will close your shades and switch the lights off to keep heat out and save energy.

Want an added level of security? The same system can close your shades, lock the doors, and arm the security system when you say, “Alexa, it’s bedtime.”

Because each home-automation system is different, we’ve detailed the specific guidelines and requirements below to make syncing with PowerView straightforward and stress-free.

AVAILABLE POWER OPTIONS

Rechargeable Battery Wand

free-in-home-design-consultation

With the most extensive operating temperature range in the industry, our Rechargeable Battery Wand is the environmentally friendly power source for most PowerView systems. Flexible installation methods include both headrail- and satellite-mounting. The battery life is approximately one year, depending on your window treatment type, size and usage. UL Certified.

Two unique Hunter Douglas charging solutions are available, the Dual Charging Station and the Single Charger (see below). We recommend purchasing spare battery wands to ensure fully charged wands are always on hand.

DUAL CHARGING STATION

free-in-home-design-consultation
The Dual Charging Station is the recommended charging solution for the Rechargeable Battery Wand, allowing you to charge up to two battery wands simultaneously in three hours or less.

16-SHADE DC POWER SUPPLY

free-in-home-design-consultation
The 16-Shade DC Power Supply is the perfect option for large PowerView installations. With the ability to power up to 16 shades no matter the size or configuration, the 16-Shade DC Power Supply uses low-voltage electrical wiring to make the connection between your shades and the power supply. There are no exposed wires or cables, and the power supply provides a consistent source of power. The 16-Shade DC Power Supply can be recess-mounted through pre-removed punch outs or surface-mounted (mounting feet provided). Barrel connectors are easily accessible from the top of the supply enclosure.There are no batteries to change, ever.

SINGLE CHARGER

The Single Charger is equipped with a 16-foot power cable so you can recharge the battery wand without removing it from your window treatment. One rechargeable battery wand can be charged in two hours or less.

ALKALINE BATTERY WAND

Designed to allow batteries to be changed without removing your window treatment from the window, the Alkaline Battery Wand is the traditional power source for most PowerView systems. It can be mounted on the front or rear of your window treatment's headrail, or inside the top or bottom rail of your shutters. The battery life is approximately one year, depending on your window treatment type, size and usage.

C-SIZE SATELLITE BATTERY WAND

The C-Size Satellite Battery Wand is an optional power source for most PowerView systems and is a great option for a longer battery life that is approximately three years depending on your window treatment type, size and usage. The C-Size Satellite Battery Wand can be mounted to a wall or sill outside of your window treatment.

SATELLITE BATTERY PACK

The Satellite Battery Pack is also an optional power source for most PowerView systems. It is the best choice when your window treatment is mounted in a high window and access to its battery wand is restricted. The Satellite Battery Pack can be mounted to a wall or sill outside of your window treatment

18V DC POWER SUPPLY

The 18V DC Power Supply comes standard with traversing PowerView systems (except Duette® Honeycomb Shades with Vertiglide™), and is an optional power source for most other systems. It plugs into any standard household outlet.
