Why Motorized Blinds?
– Added Convenience—easily control shades with a button press, tap on your mobile device, automatically, or even with your voice.
– Increased Privacy—schedule shades to automatically close whenever you want.
– Better Energy Efficiency—schedule shades to raise and lower to keep interiors warmer or cooler, depending on the season.
– Enhanced Security—give your home a lived-in look while you’re away by scheduling shades to automatically raise and lower at set times.
– Safer for Children and Pets—because smart shades lack lift cords, they’re a safer option than shades with exposed cords.

Frequently Asked Questions on Powerview Automated/Motorized Blind & Shades
We recommend motorization due to the ease of operation, through scheduling predetermined stops and controlling your shades using a remote or an app, as well as the ability to connect with home automation systems.
Motorized shades are powered in a variety of ways, such as with rechargeable or regular batteries or with plug-in power supplies. If you’re renovating a new apartment, low-voltage wiring can be run to control the motorized shades.
The power on rechargeable batteries should last for 12 months for once up/once down daily operation, depending on size. Our recommendation is to put a reminder on your calendar every 11 months following installation. Batteries usually take two to three hours to charge.
A scene is a predetermined shade level that you create in the app, for any given room or rooms.
For example, you could create a “Movie Time” scene that would close all the shades in your living room or a “Good Morning” scene that would partially raise your kitchen and dining room shades.
You can also create a schedule for a scene, so that it occurs at a set time/day(s) of the week. Or the scene can be deployed at any time with a simple tap on the phone or through verbalization.
Yes, schedules created through the PowerView® App automatically adjust for Daylight Saving Time.
