Why You Need Automatic Blinds

Have you ever upgraded to a new piece of home decor and wondered how you ever got by without it? Many homeowners feel this way after upgrading their window treatments to new Hunter Douglas motorized blinds. The convenience, energy efficiency, and style aren’t just luxuries—-they’re necessities.

Hunter Douglas Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds with PowerView® Automation near Richardson, Texas (TX)

Our team Smartlooks Window & Wall Decor is standing by to help you find the perfect blinds for your space—powered with advanced automation.

What Are Automatic Blinds?

Hunter Douglas offers automatic blinds in horizontal or vertical orientations. Choose from wood, composite materials, vinyl, fabric, or metal slats or panels that you raise, lower, or tilt to control light levels, privacy, and visibility. These hard window treatments usually have wands or a push-up/pull-down tensioning system, but automation allows for convenient remote control.

Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation eliminates the need for manual operating systems. Its integrated motor works with the Pebble® Remote, the PowerView® app (available on iOS and Android), and when you pair smart home systems like Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa with the PowerView® Gateway. You can use them on the spot or program your blinds to move according to a schedule.

PowerView® Automation is easy to get used to; it works seamlessly and makes your home comfortable, safer, and smarter.

Hunter Douglas Motorized Blinds in Bedrooms

Among the many ways you can use these blinds, one of the many ways we recommend to use automatic blinds is for bedrooms; who wants to get out of bed to open or close their window coverings when they don’t have to? PowerView® Automation lets you program your blinds to open with the sunrise, letting natural light gently wake you up. That’s especially useful for blinds, which we adjust throughout the day to control light and privacy.

Boosting Productivity in Home Offices

Lighting can significantly impact productivity in a home office. Automatic blinds help you control brightness, reducing screen glare—plus, the temperature control makes the space more comfortable. You don’t have to keep getting up to adjust your window treatments and interrupt meetings or workflow.

Automatic Blinds in Sunrooms

Sunrooms let in plenty of natural light, but too much sun can make them hot and cause excessive glare. Automatic blinds control light, privacy, and UV rays, keeping furniture and flooring from fading and creating a more inviting atmosphere. Plus, you can take off your sunglasses!

Hunter Douglas Motorized Blinds Offer Even More Benefits

If you’re on the fence about upgrading to PowerView® Automation, think about these added benefits:

  • Reduce Energy: Schedule your blinds to open and close at optimal times to reduce reliance on heating and air conditioning.
  • Cordless Design for Safety: PowerView® Automation eliminates the need for cords, which can be a potential hazard for small children and pets.
  • Improved Privacy: Schedule your automatic blinds to open and close while you’re not home to make it look like someone is.

Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds + Motorization

PowerView® Automation is compatible with most Hunter Douglas styles, including Skyline® Panel-Track Blinds. This window treatment is ideal for sunrooms or other rooms with large windows or sliding glass doors. Their wide fabric panels allow for full coverage, and motorization makes it easy to transition between open and closed settings, depending on the time of day.
