A Safer, More Secure Home
Safety is an important benefit of motorized window treatments. With motorized shades, blinds, shutters, and drapery, there are no dangling operating cords, creating a cleaner window and a more child- and pet-friendly home.
Automation can also help manage privacy when you’re home or away. Schedule your motorized shades to close at specific times or, with a PowerView® Gateway and RemoteConnect™, adjust compatible window treatments through the PowerView® App while you’re away from home. Automated routines can help maintain privacy and give your home a lived-in appearance when you’re not there.
Smart Home Compatibility

Are motorized shades good for large or hard-to-reach windows?
Yes. Motorized shades are one of the best solutions for large, tall, or hard-to-reach windows because they allow you to adjust light and privacy without manual operation.
