Hunter Douglas PowerView Motorization
Control every shade in your home from your phone, your voice, or a schedule that runs itself.
If you are researching motorized blinds, the Hunter Douglas PowerView Motorization system is what most of our customers land on after doing their homework, and for good reason. It gives you app control, voice control, and fully automated scheduling for every shade in your home.
One Stop Decorating is an authorized Hunter Douglas Gallery Dealer and Certified Motorization Specialist serving homeowners in Kansas City for over 30 years. We handle everything from the first measurement to the final setup.
What Is Hunter Douglas PowerView Motorization?
PowerView is Hunter Douglas’s proprietary automation platform, built to work across more than 20 of their window treatment lines. That includes roller shades, Duette Honeycomb Shades, Luminette Privacy Sheers, Silhouette Window Shadings, Vignette Modern Roman Shades, Design Studio Drapery, and more. Whether you have one room to automate or an entire home, the system scales to fit.
What sets it apart from basic motorized shades is the scheduling. PowerView does not just respond to commands. It runs on its own, moving your shades based on the time of day, sunrise, sunset, or any routine you build inside the app. You configure it once, and it handles the rest.
How the PowerView App Works
Free on Apple and Android. One screen, complete control. Here is what it does:
- Save custom “Scenes” that move multiple shades to preset positions with one tap
- Schedule Scenes by time of day, sunrise, or sunset
- Control individual shades or entire rooms at once
- Set room-based or time-limited access for guests, kids, or short-term renters
- Control your shades remotely from anywhere via RemoteConnect
Airbnb hosts and vacation homeowners especially appreciate this. You decide who controls what, and for how long, without handing over access to your entire system.
What the PowerView System Can Do
PowerView works with the systems you already have. No new platforms, no replacing what works.
- Amazon Alexa
- Google Assistant
- Apple HomeKit (Siri)
- Control4, Crestron, Savant
- Lutron RadioRA 2 and HomeWorks
- IFTTT and Nest
Once connected, it is as simple as “Hey Siri, close the bedroom shades.” PowerView slots into your existing setup and responds in real time.
Power options
Hunter Douglas gives you four ways to power your shades, depending on your home and installation situation.
- Battery powered (standard): The most common setup for existing homes and retrofits. Clean, wireless, no visible wiring.
- Rechargeable battery wand: Sits behind the headrail, charges magnetically, lasts about a year per charge. Our most popular option.
- Internal rechargeable battery (IRB): Lives inside the roller tube for the cleanest possible profile. Ultra-quiet motor. Compatible with Duette, Applause Honeycomb, and Vignette Modern Roman Shades.
- PowerView+ hardwired: Best for new construction. Low-voltage, powers up to 16 shades per Smart Power Supply unit. No batteries, ever.
PowerView XL motor
Built for oversized openings on Designer Roller and Screen Shades, Designer Banded Shades, and Alustra Woven Textures Roller Shades.
- Double the torque of the previous generation
- Handles shades up to 156 inches wide and 180 inches tall
- 10 decibels quieter, the quietest PowerView motor Hunter Douglas has ever made
Gen 3: built on Bluetooth
Gen 3 runs on Bluetooth with real-time two-way communication, so the app always knows exactly where your shades are. The Gen 3 Gateway connects everything to your home network, enables remote access from anywhere, and extends range for larger homes. It also supports Matter, the universal smart home standard backed by Apple, Google, and Amazon.
