Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation
PowerView is Hunter Douglas's award-winning motorized shade system. It earned the Red Dot Design Award, one of the most prestigious design honors in the world, and it is easy to see why. The system is intuitive, reliable, and works with the smart home tools you already use every day.
How you can control your PowerView shades:
- PowerView App – Control and schedule your shades from your phone or iPad
- PowerView Pebble® Control – A dedicated tabletop remote for quick, easy adjustments
- Amazon Alexa—Just say, "Alexa, open my shades."
- Apple Siri – Works with all your Apple devices
- Google Assistant—"OK "Google, close the bedroom shades."
Every control method works seamlessly with the same system. You can switch between your phone, your voice, and your remote without any extra setup or configuration.
What PowerView Automation Can Do for Your Home
PowerView is more than a convenience feature. It actively makes your home more comfortable and efficient throughout the day.
Here is what a programmed shade schedule can do:
- Open shades in the morning to let in natural light automatically
- Close shades during peak afternoon heat to reduce indoor temperatures
- Adjust based on outside temperature to cut cooling costs
- Lower bedroom shades at bedtime without getting up
- Create scenes that adjust every shade in the house with one tap
Can motorized shades help lower my energy bills? Yes. When your shades are programmed to close during the hottest part of the day, they reduce the amount of heat entering your home through your windows. That takes some of the load off your air conditioning, which adds up over a South Texas summer.
PowerView Scenes and Scheduling
One of the most useful features of PowerView is the ability to create scenes. A scene is a preset configuration where multiple shades across multiple rooms adjust to a specific position all at once. You can create as many scenes as you need and trigger them manually or on a schedule.
Popular PowerView scene examples:
Scene Name: What It Does: Good Morning opens all shades throughout the home at a set time. Afternoon Cool closes south-facing shades during peak heat hours. Movie Time dims the living room shades for the perfect viewing light. Goodnight. Closes all bedroom shades at bedtime Away Mode adjusts shades to look occupied while you are out.
Our team will help you design a scene schedule that fits your daily routine during your consultation.

Yes. PowerView integrates with Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Assistant right out of the box. It also works with many other smart home platforms.
