How to Automate Shutters
There is no denying that technology has made our home life significantly easier. You can have a coffee machine that starts purring before you even wake up, an air fryer that cooks delicious salmon within minutes, and heated floors that make waking up on those cold mornings just a little bit better. Of course, home innovation doesn’t stop at appliances. In fact, Hunter, Douglas has created a window treatment that is so innovative it combines classic good looks with modern-day technology. If you have ever wondered how to automate shutters or if it is possible, you are in the right place. Read on to learn more about how Hunter Douglas Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters can be automated with PowerView® Automation.
PowerView® Automation
Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters are unique shutters. They offer the gorgeous style of traditional shutters but pack a powerful punch thanks to their ability to withstand heat, humidity, and intense UV rays. Whether you want to place these shutters in your bathroom, kitchen, sunroom, or even the outside of your house, these durable shutters are designed to withstand the elements with ease.
Of course, that’s not all they do! Compatible with PowerView® Automation, these shutters are one of the only shutters on the market that can be operated with the press of a button, the sound of your voice, or a tap on your smartphone or tablet. No more running around your house to adjust your shutters. Who knew learning how to automate shutters could be so easy?
Finding The Right Operating System For you
Speaking of easy, there are many ways to operate your new shutters automatically. Which way is the best for you, you might be wondering? We’re glad you asked!
If you want to schedule your shutters to operate during certain times of the day or in real-time, we suggest downloading the PowerView® App onto your smartphone or tablet. From here, you can set up custom schedules or adjust your shutters as needed throughout the day.
If you want something that you can easily mount onto the wall, then you will love the Pebble® Control. This sleek remote allows you to control up to six window treatments at once or separately. This is an excellent option for spending time away from your cell phone or tablet, and you prefer something simple and handheld.
Finally, if you want to go totally hands-free, then we suggest connecting your PowerView® Automation system with your favorite smart home device. This includes Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri, Google Assistant, and more. Instead of manually operating your shutters, simply say, “Hey, Alexa? Open living room shutters” or “Okay, Google. Close bedroom shutters at 8 PM.” PowerView® Automation will handle the rest.
