The Advantages of Automatic Shades

Don’t strain to control hard-to-reach window treatments and never worry about leaving for a trip away from home without closing your window coverings for optimal privacy. The most obvious advantage of automatic shades is that they work like magic, with whisper-quiet, elegant movements you can set and forget. But that’s not their only appealing feature.

Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation near Dallas, Texas (TX)

Our home decor experts at Covered Creations are here to share the benefits of Hunter Douglas motorized shades near Dallas, TX, and we know these systems inside and out. And believe us, there’s much more to them than meets the eye.

How Do Automatic Shades Work?

Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation uses a small, integrated motor controlled by a wireless signal. You raise and lower the shade with a remote, app, or voice commands. That hidden motor receives a signal to move the window treatment automatically instead of manually — you can do it on the spot or program it to open or close your blinds, shades, or shutters for times set in advance.

Automatic Shade Styles From Hunter Douglas

We can enhance many Hunter Douglas styles with PowerView® Automation, including:

Duette® Cellular Shades, the first honeycomb shades on the market. Hunter Douglas engineered this insulating style to provide energy efficiency at the window in cold and warm climates. Duette® Cellular Shades offers the industry’s widest selection of cellular pleat sizes, opacities, colors, and textures.
Luminette® Sheer Panels with integrated, 180-degree rotating fabric vanes and sheer panels; we compare them to sheer drapes or soft, modern vertical blinds. Hunter Douglas offers them in an exciting selection of colors, textures, fabrics, and opacities.
Sonnette® Roller Shades, an innovative design that combines the features of a roller shade and a honeycomb shade. The hidden layer of pockets provides insulation, while its gentle curves add visual interest. Sonnette® Roller Shades diffuse light gently, with semi-opaque and room-darkening opacities.

Why Homeowners Love Automatic Shades

These advantages center around having more control over your window treatment’s style, operation, and efficiency:

Smartphone Control

The PowerView® app (available on iOS and Android) lets you adjust individual shades or room groupings with taps and swipes. Whether you're lying in bed, sitting in another room, or away on vacation, your shades respond instantly to the commands. The app displays all connected shades in an easy-to-understand layout; you can create custom room groupings, adjust multiple shades simultaneously, and monitor battery levels.

Scheduled Automation

Sunrise and sunset scheduling capabilities let your automatic shades work harmoniously with natural light patterns. Program them to open gradually as morning light appears; have them close at night automatically right before dark.

You can even set vacation modes to simulate occupied home patterns, cycling the shades throughout the day to deter potential intruders. These scheduling features make homes more comfortable while reducing energy costs and protect your residence.

Voice Integration with Smart Home Systems

Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and most mart home systems offer compatibility adds hands-free control to PowerView® Automation. Just say "Close the bedroom shades" or "Open all shades to 50 percent" when you’re busy working, cooking, or playing with your kids or pets. And if you have hard-to-reach shades, that feature is priceless.
