Three Ways PowerView® Automation Keeps Your Pets Safer

If you are a pet owner, you know that one of the best parts of coming home after a long workday is spending time with your pet. But during the day, that separation can be a source of anxiety. Camera monitoring is no help if your home is full of dangers, so the best solution is to make your home as pet-friendly as possible. Your window treatments are no exception, and the best way to protect your best friend is to add PowerView® Automation to your Hunter Douglas window treatments. We’ve gathered up three of the reasons why:

1. No cords to get tangled in

The most significant danger by far to pets is the presence of loose cord adjustments on window treatments. With PowerView® Automation on your Hunter Douglas products, there is no adjustment cord to be a danger to your furry friend. A wide variety of power sources means there are options that are free of power cords, as well. You can power your motorization system with rechargeable battery wands or a hardwired DC power supply that can control up to 16 window shades.

2. Better controls

You might think a simple cordless adjustment system would be better, and for a lot of motorizations that might be true. However, the Gen 3 PowerView® Automation system is so robust that it is worth adding on for its features alone. The control options make keeping your home pet-friendly so much easier and convenient that you’ll never go back to manually operated window treatments. You can control all of your shades, blinds, curtains, and shutters powered with Bluetooth by the simple push of a button. Use the Pebble® Remote, or with your tablet or smart phone through the PowerView® App. Even access your window treatment controls from around the world using the Remote Connect™ feature. Best of all, PowerView® integrates your window coverings with your preferred smart home system for easy voice control, including Apple HomeKit, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. With that enabled, not only is your home safer, it’s better all around for you and your pet; if you find yourself snuggling on the couch with Fido and the sun gets in your eyes, simply use the voice command for your home assistant to make your living space comfortable again.

3. Scheduled for safety

With feisty pets, keeping the controls for your window treatments out of sight and out of mind can be necessary for the longevity of your blinds and shades, and keeping them adjusted appropriately can prevent your pets from getting tangled in the treatments themselves. That’s why scheduling when your shades open and close each day through the PowerView® App or your smart home device can be such a help. Simply schedule your window treatments to open each morning so they can have a clear peek outside instead of hiding behind the blinds. Let them observe during the day or close them tight to prevent them from keep watch for dangers outside, such as errant squirrels or mail carriers.
