I’ve never met a window I didn’t like, after all, it it is what separates a room from a cell. And it’s not just about the view, because some houses don’t have views at all — it’s about ventilation, lighting, and the illusion of space. What if I told you there are now windows that you can control via an app on your phone, and allow you to select scenes like “sunrise”and “sunset,” like a low-key master of the universe? Hunter Douglas, manufacturer of high quality, innovative window treatments, recently introduced the PowerView Motorization System in the Philippines, which allows homeowners to do just that.
The PowerView Motorization System takes windows into the age of connectivity and customization. After having selected the blinds and shades that fit your home, the system can be used to punch in presets so that window treatments move with your schedule, mood and natural light requirements, with the PowerView app (which can be downloaded via Google Play or App Store onto your mobile device), or with the Pebble Remote Control or Scene Control. It runs on a discreet and quiet motor and is battery operated, so it’s easy to install as well as live with.
James Sia, general manager for Hunter Douglas Window Covering Products and Licensing for Asia, says, “Worldwide, we see a growing trend in smart home technology. There are décor -friendly gadgets, automated door locks, security systems, automated lighting systems, air-conditioning with programmable thermostats and now, programmable window coverings. In the recently held biggest annual Consumer Electronics Show in the USA, it was all about connected home technology. Connectivity and integration is the trend now.”
Stephen Sy, president of Focus Global, Inc., Hunter Douglas’ exclusive licensee in the country, adds, “Its amazing features operate on your schedule, automatically, no hands required. It can even accurately calculate the local sunrise and sunset based on its technologically advanced locator so you could create beautiful scenes to begin and end your day with. These are intelligent shades that simplify your life.”
