We’re always in favor of smart home design that makes our daily lives easier and more comfortable. In the bedroom, don’t underestimate the power that new smart bedroom window treatments can have when it comes to easing our daily lives and creating comfortable and safe environments. In the Hunter Douglas collection, their innovative PowerView® Automated operating system offers the latest in advanced control and design for motorized shades.
The easiest way to control window shades – For most, opening and closing shades is a boring, if not monotonous, part of everyday life. And while the chore isn’t overtly taxing physically, it is time-consuming and can be tedious when our precious time at home is limited. Plus, some people may struggle with reaching far-away cords or messing with confusing operating systems.
Upgrading to an intelligent bedroom window shade takes that daily chore and makes it utterly effortless by allowing homeowners to control their shades easily. For PowerView, you can use a remote, an app on your phone, or even voice command if your smart home system has that feature, as PowerView can integrate into home assistant or smart home programs. Work smarter, not harder, to keep your household running smoothly, and spare yourself the work of operating traditional window shades.
Automated options for more effortless daily routines – Upgrading to smart bedroom window shades can take convenience a step beyond! Systems like PowerView offer a whole host of automated options. Schedule your shades to correspond to your routine so that without daily effort, your shades are consistently where they need to be. Wake up to natural sunlight by scheduling your shades to open with the morning light, or ensure your privacy by having them close every night before your bedtime routine starts. Whatever you need, the system can accommodate you by adjusting and regulating your smart bedroom window treatments accordingly.
Better energy efficiency for more comfortable interiors – It’s not only your daily routine that smart bedroom window treatments can be programmed to respond to for enhanced energy efficiency schedule your smart shades to correlate with the natural light and temperature variances in your area. Keep light in heat out or depending on what you need season by season. Since up to 30% of unwanted energy exchange in homes happens through windows, you can see a significant improvement in energy efficiency simply by strategically using window treatments to block that uncontrolled energy transfer. The result is a home environment that can be kept at a more comfortable interior temperature with less energy. This can be an especially nice feature in the bedroom, where creating an ideal sleeping environment means controlling light, sound, and temperature.
Child-friendly features for safer window treatments – While they may look benign, the loose hanging cords on select styles of traditional window treatments harbor a hidden safety hazard, especially for young children and small pets. These family members can become entangled in hanging cords which causes a strangulation hazard. By upgrading to smart bedroom window treatments, like Roman shades with PowerView, you can eliminate the hanging cords and loose lines since the motorized shades do not need them for operation. Therefore, in addition to convenience and control, smart shades offer homeowners the ability to make their homes a safer place for everyone who lives there.
