Description
Control your home's window coverings from the convenience of your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. The PowerView® App provides intelligent operation of popular Hunter Douglas window coverings. Adjust your window coverings to manage incoming light and energy usage throughout your home with the tap of a button or through automated operation. The PowerView® App merges seamlessly with your connected lifestyle, providing a level of convenience and ease that is the crowning touch for your Hunter Douglas window coverings.
Features:
• Control Hunter Douglas motorised window coverings, individually or in groups, throughout your entire home.
• Quickly and easily navigate the app using built-in tabs: Dashboard, Rooms, Scenes, and Schedules.
• Add favourite Scenes, Blinds, and Automations to your Dashboard, so they appear first whenever you open the app.
• Create customised blind position settings called "Scenes" for convenience, or to manage your natural lighting and privacy needs throughout the day.
• Put your Scenes in motion using Schedules. Easily program your Scenes to activate automatically at different times of day to deliver the look and comfort you want, without you having to press a button. Configure Schedules to occur at a specific time, or based on unique Sunrise and Sunset times in your specific location.
• Easily enable or disable Schedules, so that your blinds take the day off when you do.
• Manage your Home from anywhere with RemoteConnect™. This requires a PowerView® Gateway, an Internet connection, and initial in-home setup.

Ratings and Reviews
Wonderful functionality but …
It’s disappointing that you need to spend another couple hundred dollars to get voice control. Bit of a rip off in my opinion. Otherwise really excellent little app
Long term concerns
When it works we like it a lot, but I have concerns around long term support and some basics. Currently the app does not appear to be taking commands that I want to disable one schedule and turn on another. If I go to report this to support I have to go through a myriad of web pages and options. Going to support from the Apple App Store just takes you to an installation page that is of no value.
There times as well where the app simply cannot control a window correctly, or at all. I have had situations where a blind is working completely fine for over a year, then suddenly it won’t lower the shade anymore. I press the physical button and the shade goes down, and through the app the shade will go up. Try resetting the shade and the app makes no difference. Then a couple weeks later it all works again. Other shades have done the same though with completely no automation control. I should note that these blinds are in the same room as a repeater, the repeater flashes blue indicating that it gets and is transmitting signals, and all my blinds are hard wired to power (no batteries needed).
Hunter Douglas has a new series out that uses a different communication technology. Does that mean that my extremely expensive investment into automation of all my blinds has a limited shelf life? Will Hunter Douglas come and update the mechanicals to the new technology that presumably fixes the sporadic communication issues?
Annoying repeater settings
When you add any repeaters to the hub network, and try to adjust settings like “blink on commands” or the brightness of the light. The settings save but reset immediately.
So in the middle of the night the repeater starts flashing and it wakes you out of a sleep because its so bright.
Also the hub has the brightest light of any device I have ever added to my home, and it cannot be turned off at all.
Hopefully this gets fixed, it’s such an annoying stain on an otherwise decent technology platform.
