Check out this Houzz project. Then, read on to discover how your teens, pets, and little ones will all benefit from the incredible innovations.
The Hub.
Meet one of the top smart accessories from Hunter Douglas: The Hub. This device allows your smart shades to communicate and respond, based on the personalized settings you’ve set up. It’s small, sleek, and powerful. It will keep your home’s environment perfect all day long.
Voice Control.
It’s 11 AM and your teenager is still sleeping. It doesn’t have to be your job to get them out of bed everyday. Put your smart accessories to work with voice control. Tell Alexa to open the shades in their room; the bright sunshine will gently awaken them. Better yet, create a schedule on the PowerView app so that their bedroom smart shades open up at the same time every morning–you don’t even have to be home!
Scenes.
Within the PowerView app, you can create and save favorite scenes. Do you have a little one at home? Getting them to bed can be quite the struggle, especially when the summer sun sets later in the day. Create a “Bedtime” scene. When it’s time to wind down, simply open your app and choose your saved setting. Your child’s blackout shades will close, making their room dark and cozy. You can even schedule them to close at the same time every night. No more “it’s not even dark yet…”
IFTTT.
Have you heard of IFTTT? It stands for “if this, then that,” and it makes all of your smart devices communicate with each other to maintain your ideal environment. This technology is great for pets. Let’s say your furry friend sleeps the morning away while you’re at work. As soon as he gets up from his nap, his motion is detected, which then triggers your shades to open. He’s left with an entertaining view outdoors and natural sunlight. Does your pet get scared when it rains? You can open the PowerView app from your office and shut your shades. Notice that the sun is overbearingly hot one day? No problem. You can change the position of your smart shades from anywhere in the world.
Wireless Strength.
Isn’t it frustrating when your WiFi mysteriously stops working? Sometimes, the setup of your home can interfere with the strength of your wireless signal. Hunter Douglas doesn’t want you to deal with this bothersome issue. Instead, they’ve created the Repeater. This device simply plugs into an outlet in an area that might need added strength. Your smart accessories will have a strong connection, no matter the layout of your home. Plus, the backlighting and modern design make for a great nightlight!
The Pebble Remote.
You’re sitting down on your couch after a long day, settling in with your favorite Netflix show. Suddenly, the setting sun shines through your window, creating a horrible glare and an uncomfortable amount of light. You don’t have to get up to close your blinds. Reach over to your coffee table and grab the Pebble remote. Adjust your shades at the touch of a button. Sit back & relax! Your smart accessories have you covered.
