Motorized Window Treatment FAQ
What is the difference between motorized blinds and smart shades?
Motorized blinds and shades use a motor to adjust the window treatment instead of requiring manual operation. Smart shades add another level of control, with features such as app control, schedules, favorite scenes, voice commands and compatible smart home integration. If you’re comparing these features for your home, our guide to choosing window shade automation can help you decide which level of automation makes sense.
Can motorized shades be controlled with a phone?
Yes. Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation allows you to control compatible motorized shades through the PowerView® App on your smartphone or tablet. Depending on your setup, you can adjust individual shades or groups of shades, create schedules and save favorite positions for different times of day.
Do motorized shades need to be hardwired?
No. Motorized shades can be powered in several ways, depending on the window treatment and installation. Options may include battery power, a rechargeable battery system or hardwired power, with solar charging available for compatible rechargeable systems. Hardwiring is especially worth considering during new construction or remodeling, while battery-powered options make automation possible without wiring at the window. Learn more about the Hunter Douglas Rechargeable Battery Wand.
Can motorized shades work with Alexa, Google Home or Siri?
Yes. With the appropriate PowerView® Gen 3 setup, compatible Hunter Douglas motorized shades can integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home with Siri for voice and smart home control. Integration requirements vary by platform, and a PowerView® Gateway is required for these smart home integrations. For more answers about connected window treatments, visit our Smart Blinds FAQ.
Which window treatments can be motorized?
Motorization is available with many Hunter Douglas window treatments, including roller and solar shades, honeycomb shades, sheer shades, Roman shades, woven shades, blinds, shutters, vertical window treatments and custom drapery. Availability varies by collection, window size and operating system. Timan & Co. can help you compare motorized options based on your windows, light control needs and preferred style.
Can I motorize existing window treatments?
Usually, motorization is selected when new window treatments are ordered rather than added to existing manual blinds or shades. Some previously installed Hunter Douglas automated products may be compatible with updated power components, but retrofit options depend on the product, age and operating system. Timan & Co. can identify what you currently have and determine whether an upgrade is available or a new motorized window treatment is needed.
