How PowerView® Automation Improves Home Security

Your home is the place where you feel safest­–where you can relax, be yourself, and let go of your worries. That makes it important to keep your home safe. Home security doesn’t end at your alarm system, though. Did you know your window coverings play a huge role in the security of your home? If not, don’t worry. Walls & Windows has you covered. We offer PowerView® Automation on our trusted Hunter Douglas products. Here are a few of the ways PowerView® can help protect your home so you can rest at ease.

PowerView® Automation near Anacortes, Washington (WA), that increases home security

Control View-Through

Windows don’t only allow sunlight and warmth into your home. They can inadvertently let in unkind eyes to see your possessions and the layout of your house, making it more vulnerable to break-ins and burglary. Many people leave their window coverings open during the day and only close them at night, which becomes a problem when you leave your home to go to work, run errands, or pick the kids up from school.

With PowerView® Automation, you can set your Hunter Douglas window treatments to close when you leave the house by pushing a button, issuing a voice command, or setting a schedule for when you’ll be away. That way, you can enjoy the beautiful light and view while you’re at home, but when you leave, all your window treatments will close up tight. As an added bonus, this will keep your home more energy-efficient, as well!

Take it Off Your Mind

When it comes to home security, the best feature of PowerView® is its ability to place your window coverings on a schedule, even when you’re not home to operate them. When you’re away on vacation, you can set your blinds to open and close for brief times periodically to make the house seem occupied, which is a major deterrent to criminals.

Adjust from Anywhere

If you’re far away from home, you’re still never far from your PowerView® Remote Connect™ feature. Even if you forgot to adjust a setting on your window treatments, you can always head over to Remote Connect™ to control your window shades from anywhere in the world.

Safety is Just a Word Away

Since window treatments with PowerView® Automation integrate with your preferred digital assistant, securing your home is just a word away. Connect your shades, blinds, shutters with Siri, Amazon Alexa, or Google Assistant and set an “away” scene for all the window treatments in your home. Then when you leave, all you have to do is call out a passphrase such as “Alexa, I’m leaving the house!” to trigger your “away” setting and secure your home.

Any Style You Want, Automated

The best part of PowerView® Automation is that it works with a wide array of Hunter Douglas window fashions – including roller shades, roman shades, honeycomb shades, window panels, blinds and even Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Shutters, the only motorized shutters on the market. Whatever your design style may be, PowerView® Automation can make it as easy on your precious time and your worried mind as it is on your eyes. Rest easy. PowerView® has your back, and it’s doing it with style.
