Operating Hard-to-Reach Windows
There is something stunning about ceiling lights and windows that are high up on our walls. It may be the fact that they allow us to see the sky. Or maybe it is because they let in ample amounts of sunlight throughout the day. No matter the reason why you love your hard-to-reach windows, they add intrigue to any space in your home. However, we do have to revisit that “hard-to-reach” aspect. Since these windows are often in high places, they can be incredibly difficult or dangerous to operate. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you want to sacrifice your shade or privacy needs. When it comes to operating hard-to-reach windows, climbing up on ladders or using a broom to shut your shades is a thing of the past when you choose PowerView® Automation by Hunter Douglas. Read on to learn more about this system.
Operate Hands-Free
Operating hard-to-reach windows is a breeze with PowerView® Automation. This is because the system can adjust your shades via the PowerView® App on a predetermined schedule, the Pebble® Control that can operate up to six shades at once, or even your voice when you connect your PowerView® Automation system to your Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Siri, and more. No matter your operational preferences, PowerView® Automation allows you to easily open, close, or adjust your shades. Of course, you don’t have to exclusively use this system on just your hard-to-reach windows. You can have each window in your home adjusted with PowerView® Automation to make achieving light, shade, or privacy easier than ever.
Synched to the Weather
As mentioned, ceiling lights or high-up windows let in lots of sunlight and views. However, they can also lead to your home’s air seeping out and the outside air creeping in. This can make your home feel especially hot or cold during the summer and winter months. That is why the PowerView® Automation system can react to changes in temperature and open or close your shades accordingly. So, if the afternoon sun is beating down on your home, PowerView® will shut your shades. On the other hand, if the weather drops, PowerView® can open your shades to let in a little extra sunlight. This will help keep your home comfortable throughout the years and even help reduce your energy bills with time.
Operates According to Your Schedule
Operating your hard-to-reach windows with PowerView® Automation also means that your shades will move according to your schedule. For example, if you want your ceiling shades to open at 7 AM to wake you up with natural lighting during the week, you can schedule this ahead of time in the PowerView® App. On the other hand, if you are watching a movie and want to reduce glare, you can use your voice, the app, or the Pebble® remote to shut your shades accordingly in real time. No matter your lighting or shade needs, you can accomplish it with this system from Hunter Douglas.
