Ease Your Energy Bills This Summer With PowerView® Automation

Wessco Blinds • June 30, 2025

Summer is a time for relaxation, returning to nature, and packing those long days with as many memories as possible. It’s also when the weather in Seattle, WA, starts to creep up high. The rising heat causes homeowners to crank up their AC to keep rooms comfortable throughout the season. Unfortunately, this often contributes to high energy bills.

Schedule Window Treatment Adjustments Based on the Sun

The beauty of PowerView® Automation is that it adjusts your Hunter Douglas window treatments via a pre-programmed schedule or in real-time with the PowerView® App, Pebble® Remote, or even your voice.


This motorized system allows you to program your automatic shades, blinds, and shutters to open when the sun is at its weakest, like early mornings, to fill your home with soft sunlight and close when it’s at its peak for more shade. Working with the sun can maximize your home’s comfort levels without messing with the thermostat.

Pair Your System with Energy-Efficient Shades

PowerView® Automation works best for those who want lower energy bills when paired with energy-efficient Duette® Cellular Shades. Designed to trap air in their unique pockets, cellular shades provide the insulation needed to keep your home cooler in the summer. When synced with the automatic shades’ schedule throughout the day, this combination offers superior energy efficiency and light filtration.


Of course, if cellular shades aren’t a match for you, PowerView® Automation is also compatible with other Hunter Douglas window treatments, including:

  • Light-diffusing Silhouette® Sheer Shades.
  • Minimalist Designer Roller Shades.
  • Elegant Vignette® Roman Shades.
  • Organic Provenance® Woven Wood Shades.
  • Durable Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters.

Control Your Shades Anywhere and Anytime

All homeowners will eventually leave their houses without shutting their window treatments. Whether this is before a workday or the rush out the door for that long vacation, leaving your window treatments open for an extended period heats your space fast. This seemingly minor accident requires your air conditioning to work even harder and, in turn, raise your energy bills.



With PowerView® Automation, adjust your Hunter Douglas automated shades from anywhere worldwide. Simply open the PowerView® App, close the window treatments you left open, and go about your day. No muss, no fuss; just a comfortable, cool home waiting for you when you return.
