The Basics of Motorized Blinds

Motorized blinds for windows are powered by small, discrete motors that allow you to open, close, or tilt your blinds with only the touch of a button, voice commands, or even a smartphone app. The motors are typically powered by batteries, plug-in power sources, or hardwiring into your home's electrical system.

Hunter Douglas motorized blinds use cutting-edge technology like the PowerView® Automation system, which offers seamless control and customization. With PowerView®, you can:

  • Adjust blinds remotely using the PowerView® app or Pebble® remote.
  • Schedule your blinds to open or close automatically based on your routine or preferences.
  • Integrate your motorized blinds with smart home systems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit for hands-free operation.

How Hunter Douglas Motorized Blinds Work

  1. Control Options: Hunter Douglas motorized blinds offer multiple control options, from remote controls to smartphone apps. The PowerView® app allows you to create "Scenes" where specific blinds or rooms are adjusted to your preferred settings at designated times.
  2. Smooth and Quiet Operation: Hunter Douglas uses advanced motor technology for smooth, quiet movement, ensuring that your blinds operate efficiently without disturbing your household.
  3. Energy Efficiency: With motorized blinds, you can optimize natural sunlight to reduce your reliance on artificial lighting. For example, schedule your blinds to close during the hottest parts of the day to keep your home cooler and save on energy costs.
  4. Customizable Solutions: Hunter Douglas motorized blinds come in several styles to suit your preference, as well as different materials to meet the needs of your space.

Benefits of Motorized Blinds

Motorized blinds for windows are not just about convenience—they offer several additional advantages:

  • Child and Pet Safety: The cordless design eliminates dangling cords, making motorized blinds a safer choice for homes with children and pets.
  • Enhanced Privacy: Schedule your blinds to close during evening hours to maintain your privacy.
  • Improved Home Security: Automated schedules give the appearance of an occupied home, even when you're away.
