A bright Wisconsin morning can fill your space with warmth and light. But by midday, that same sun turns your living room into a glare-filled spotlight, overheats your hardwood floors, and fades your favorite chair. And in winter? You’re left pulling down heavy shades to keep out the cold, only to block the little sunlight you want.
That back-and-forth with cords, chains, and blinds—every single day—gets old fast. Especially when life already gives you plenty to juggle. That’s where PowerView® Automation comes in. It doesn’t just make your shades move on their own—it brings comfort, control, and simplicity to your everyday life.
Here’s how it changes things.
1. A More Comfortable Home, All Day Long
Whether you’re starting your day in the kitchen or winding down in the living room, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation gives you control over natural light without ever touching a shade. You can set your window treatments to move with the sun, raising to bring in the morning glow and lowering as heat builds in the afternoon.
That means fewer hot spots, less glare on your screens, and a more consistent indoor temperature. When Wisconsin weather is unpredictable, automated shades help your home stay just right.
2. Control That Works With Your Life
You don’t have to be home—or even in the room—to adjust your shades. You can schedule them to move at exact times or use a remote, app, or voice control to change things on the fly.
You may prefer your bedroom to be dark on Saturday mornings but bright on weekdays at 7:00 AM. Or want the living room to close up at sunset, whether you’re home or not. PowerView® Automation makes that possible. And if you have an Alexa, Google Assistant, or Apple HomeKit? You can make it all work with just your voice.
3. A Smarter Way to Protect Your Home
Shades that move on their own aren’t just about comfort—they also help with home security. When your window treatments shift throughout the day, it looks like someone’s home, even if you’re hours away.
It’s a subtle detail, but one that adds peace of mind. Especially in winter, when the days are shorter and it’s dark before you even leave work. Combined with lighting automation or a smart home setup, your shades become part of a quiet, protective routine.
4. Style and Function—Without Compromise
Homes in Wisconsin come in all shapes and styles. Farmhouse kitchens, contemporary condos, classic bungalows. No matter the space, PowerView® Automation fits right in.
It works with a wide range of Hunter Douglas window treatments—from woven wood shades and cellular blinds to elegant Roman or roller shades. That means you get the look you want and the function you need. You don’t have to trade style for smart features.
Plus, with wireless control and sleek hardware, the setup blends into your home rather than standing out. You’ll hardly notice it’s there—until you realize you haven’t had to mess with a cord or wand in weeks.
5. Real Energy Savings, Month After Month
Heating and cooling a Wisconsin home can be expensive. Automated shades give you another tool to manage them. In winter, you can keep the shades open when the sun’s out and closed when it’s not, locking in warmth. In summer, you can block harsh sunlight before it turns into heat.
Over time, these small shifts make a noticeable difference. You reduce the strain on your HVAC system, help protect your furniture and floors from fading, and keep things more efficient. It’s one of the smartest ways to boost energy savings without changing your lifestyle.
Why Wisconsin Homes Are Built for This
Here, we get it all. Blazing sunlight in summer, sharp cold in winter, cloudy days that flip to bright ones in an instant. That kind of weather needs a window treatment system that can keep up—without asking you to run around the house all day.
PowerView® Automation is more than a convenience. It’s a quiet solution to all the little things that interrupt your comfort. No more getting up mid-dinner to block glare. No more worrying about forgetting to close the shades when you leave. It’s one less thing on your mind—and one more way your home works with you, not against you.
