Powerview Automation

AWARD-WINNING TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED TO MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER

MAKE YOUR HOME ENERGY EFFICIENT

During the summer, scheduling your motorized shades to close at midday keeps your home from overheating. In the wintertime, scheduling them to open during the day will invite natural sunlight to warm your home. With motorized window treatments, there’s less need for air conditioning and heating and more opportunity for energy savings.

CONTROL YOUR SHADES WITH VOICE

Use the PowerView® App to control your shades with the swipe of a finger. Create customized Scenes that move each of your shades to your preferred positions, then automate the Scenes to operate on their own throughout the day. You can even schedule Scenes to move with the sunrise or sunset based on your location. The App is compatible with Apple® and Android™ smartphones and tablets.

CONVENIENT CONTROL FROM ANYWHERE

PowerView® App—Use the PowerView® App to control your shades with the swipe of a finger. Create customized Scenes that move each of your shades to your preferred positions, then automate the Scenes to operate on their own throughout the day. You can even schedule Scenes to move with the sunrise or sunset based on your location. The App is compatible with Apple® and Android™ smartphones and tablets.

Pebble® Control—A modern answer to clunky remote controls of the past. The handheld Pebble® Remote easily operates up to six different window treatments, gives you on-demand control and comes in a range of stylish colors. If you’re worried about misplacing it, opt for the wall-mounted Pebble Surface Remote. When your smartphone or tablet isn’t within reach, use the Pebble Scene Controller, which works with the PowerView® Hub and App to manage the Scenes you’ve already created.

Remote Connect™—For additional security when you’re not home, adjust your shades on your mobile device or tablet with our Remote Connect™ feature.

Easy, Accurate Shade Control

Your PowerView shades will always be exactly where you want them, when you want them, thanks to Bluetooth technology, which features real-time, two-way communication between your shades and the PowerView system.

Why Smart Shades?

  • Added Convenience—easily control shades with a button press, tap on your mobile device, automatically, or even with your voice.
  • Increased Privacy—schedule shades to automatically close whenever you want.
  • Better Energy Efficiency—schedule shades to raise and lower to keep interiors warmer or cooler, depending on the season.
  • Enhanced Security—give your home a lived-in look while you’re away by scheduling shades to automatically raise and lower at set times.
  • Safer for Children—because smart shades lack lift cords, they’re a safer option than shades with exposed cords.
