PowerView® Automation
Technology seems to advance overnight, and we all have smartphones, TVs, and cars to prove it. If you’ve been considering PowerView® Automation for your home but haven’t yet taken the leap, we’re here to help you take that first step. Automatic shades increase the aesthetic value of your home, along with offering many other convenient benefits we love.
Safety & Security
Motorized window treatments mean doing away with unsightly and unsafe cords. If you have young children or pets at home, the safety benefits make automated shades worth it, but you’ll also enjoy enhanced home security. When you’re away from home, it’s more likely to be a target for burglars. PowerView® Automation allows you to control your shades or blinds at any time, from anywhere, to make it look as though someone is always at home.
Energy Efficiency
The threat of climate change affects us all, so everyone needs to do what they can to increase their home’s energy efficiency. Windows are responsible for a sizable portion of your energy costs, so it makes sense that covering them would lessen your bill and usage. Where does PowerView® Automation fit into this? Opening or closing your window coverings at midday can help keep your home at a more comfortable temperature without adjusting the thermostat. You can set your shades to open and close on a schedule to take advantage of this benefit even while you’re at work or running errands.
A Family Affair
One spouse is often more enthusiastic about designing custom window treatments than the other. Exploring PowerView® Automation allows both partners to be active in the process, one in charge of the aesthetic options and the other taking control of the technological aspect. You can even get your kids involved by allowing them to help choose the style and fabrics for automatic shades that will be going in their playroom or bedrooms.
Easy Operation
Automated window treatments are excellent for every window in your home, but especially ones that are difficult to reach due to their height or placement in relation to furniture. You’ll never again have to rearrange your living room or pull out a step ladder to adjust your blinds or shades. PowerView® Automation is also a fantastic solution for those with limited mobility because everyone can easily adjust their window coverings using this advanced system.
Better Sleep
Getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult, especially during the work week. You can program your power blinds to open with the rising sun so you can awaken gradually with natural light instead of immediately with a loud alarm. Studies have shown that exposure to sunlight within a few minutes of waking can also increase your energy level for the entire day.
Award-Winning Motorization
We aren’t the only ones who think PowerView® Automation is the best motorization system on the market. The newly redesigned PowerView® Automation (Gen 3) has recently received two prestigious awards:
Winner of the 2023 Mark of Excellence Award - Automated Shade Product of the Year
Winner of the 2022 CE Pro BEST Product Award in the Motorized Shade Controls and Accessories category
Advanced Control Options
Automatic shades are only helpful if they’re convenient to control. Window treatments equipped with PowerView® Motorization can be adjusted using the PowerView® App on your smartphone or tablet, simple voice commands when integrated with your existing smart home system, or the modern, handheld Pebble® Remote. We can mount it to the wall if you’re worried you’ll misplace your Pebble® Remote.
