Top 3 Reasons to Switch to Motorized Window Treatments
Hunter Douglas motorized window treatments can elevate homes and business environments alike in many ways. But you may be wondering if you really need motorized window treatments. We are here to tell you that motorized window treatments are for anyone who wants to take advantage of modern technology, and there are all kinds of advantages that come with equipping your window treatments with these advancements.
At Custom Blind & Shade LLC, we install blinds, shades, shutters, and drapery for New Hampshire and Massachusetts customers. Thanks to cutting-edge PowerView® Automation technology from Hunter Douglas, you can revolutionize how you use your window treatments and transform your home or business’ interior. There are many benefits of motorized window treatments, but we have come up with three to share with you.
1. They're Easy to Pair with an Existing Smart Home System
If you already have a residential or commercial smart system, you don't have to worry about making any major changes. Hunter Douglas window treatments with PowerView® Automation pair with some of the most popular smart technologies, making integration a snap. Compatible brands include:
- Brilliant
- Clare Controls
- Control4
- Crestron
- Nice (formerly ELAN)
- RTI
- Savant
- URC
All you need is the PowerView® Gateway. This device integrates your shades with other manufacturers' systems and acts as a range extender for larger homes, optimizing overall performance.
2. Your Space Gains Better Energy Efficiency
Smart shutters and blinds aren't just convenient—they're functional, as well. Putting your shades on a schedule allows you to maximize the energy-saving benefits of your products. Whether you've installed draft-absorbing cellular shades or sturdy wood blinds, scheduling them to raise and lower at specific times of day helps keep your space cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. This will not only keep you more comfortable but will help you save money too.
3. Smart Blinds Are Simple to Control
Even if you're one of the many individuals who don't use smart technology around the home, motorized blinds and shutters are still easy to learn how to operate. When you choose smart blinds, you also choose the control method. Available Hunter Douglas options include:
- Pebble® remote: With a simple push-button design, Pebble® lets you operate up to six groups of window treatments. It even comes in a wall-mounted alternative (perfect for busy families prone to losing TV remotes on the sofa).
- Mobile app: The PowerView® app is compatible with Apple and Android smartphones and tablets. You can operate your shades in real-time from your mobile device and set automated schedules.
- Voice assistant: If you use Alexa, Google, or Siri for daily tasks, they can activate your smart shades, too.
A specialist will be happy to show you how your desired method of control works during the installation process.
