Homeowners
Smart Home. Smart Living.
You can transform light and mood throughout the home with a simple push of a button or a tap on a mobile device. That’s the true beauty of PowerView Motorization. With Hunter Douglas motorized blinds, it’s never been easier to synchronize window treatments to the rhythm of our lives. Whether it is voice-controlled technology from Amazon, Google, Apple, or integrating the PowerView® system with Nest, IFTTT, Control4, and others — you can create a whole home experience unique to your lifestyle.
Batteries or no batteries, Austintatious has you covered. While each shade can be battery-operated (both rechargeable and reloadable options are available), the luxury of not having to worry about changing the batteries definitely has its advantages. If your home is under construction, pre-wiring is a highly attractive option; dropping wires to the windows enables the shades to get power without using batteries. It’s never too early in the process to start talking about window coverings and pre-wiring for them. We are the experts; just ask us!

Builders
Smart Home. Smart Business Move.
Now, more than ever, consumers are demanding the convenience and efficiency of smart-home technology. To meet consumer demand, Hunter Douglas, the industry leader, is now offering PowerView Motorization as an innovative operating system that ensures the shades in your homes are an integral part of the growing connected-home market, smoothly delivering automatic operation right from the smart devices consumers use every day. And by pre-wiring your homes from the start, you ensure this technology is readily available to your homebuyers. The secret to the fluidity of the home’s wiring is it was all built in as part of the design and construction plan. It was not an afterthought.
By simply offering pre-wiring packages (typically low voltage) as an option for your clients, you’re enabling their home to be smart enabled, whether they opt to use it now or in the future. Even if they don’t think they need it now, how long before they wish they had it? Various wires can be used, low-voltage with a minimum of two conductors and/or if running communication via the wires, then the two conductor wires with two communication wires are best. The best part of all, there is a reason to purchase expensive, vendor-specific wire! Contact our team now for specific wiring instructions based on your customer’s needs.
