User Guide for Setting Scenes on Motorized Blinds

Are you tired of manually adjusting your blinds multiple times during the day to let in the perfect amount of light?

The task of adjusting your blinds throughout the day can be a tedious and time-consuming chore for many people.

From having to twist wands to avoid the glare on your TV screen in the afternoon, to having to adjust them again to avoid the sunlight blinding you each morning, maintaining the perfect amount of light is a hassle.

Not only is adjusting blinds annoying, but it can also be physically demanding for those with mobility issues or limited strength. Having to climb up on furniture or reaching up high to adjust blinds can be challenging and potentially dangerous for some individuals.

At Blinds Plus and More, we understand your frustration. To help, we have added several products to our collection that were designed specifically for you. One of those products is known as motorized blinds!

Motorized blinds have become increasingly popular for their functionality and modern aesthetic.

In this post, we will briefly explain what motorized blinds are and how these kinds of blinds offer a solution for you. In addition, this can serve as your user guide on how you can utilize your motorized blinds by setting up and organizing custom scenes.

Whether you want to protect your home, create a cozy atmosphere for movie night, or let in natural light for a bright and airy feel, mastering the art of setting scenes will transform the way you interact with your blinds.

What are Motorized Blinds?

Simply put, motorized blinds are window coverings that can be controlled remotely with a motorized system, allowing you to control your blinds easily.

These blinds can be raised, lowered, or tilted with the touch of a button. One of the leading companies in this technology is Hunter Douglas® with their PowerView® motorization system.

This advanced system comes in various shade styles, giving you the option to control your blinds using your mobile devices, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and the PowerView® Pebble® remote control.

With just a simple remote control, you can adjust your blinds to your desired position without having to get up from your seat. This is especially convenient for hard-to-reach windows or for individuals with mobility issues.

The PowerView® motorization system also offers features such as scheduling your blinds to open and close at specific times of the day, as well as adjusting the blinds to optimize natural light and privacy. So, if you wanted to have a movie night, you could set your blinds to close instead of having to close your blinds yourself.

The feature of scheduling allows you to set up your app to suit all your likings without the headache of manual adjustments.

In addition, the ability to schedule your blinds to open and close at specific times of the day can provide added security to your home or office. For instance, by programming your blinds to open or close at specific times of the day, you can give the appearance that someone is home even when you're away. This can help deter potential burglars and keep your property safe while you're out.

How to Organize Custom Scenes

To organize custom scenes in the Hunter Douglas® PowerView® motorization system, you can start by categorizing them within the smart app.

This can be done by creating different groups or rooms for the scenes, such as the "Living Room", "Bedroom", "Kitchen", etc. By doing this, you can easily locate and access the scenes based on where they are intended to be used within your home.

In addition, naming the scenes effectively is crucial for easy identification. A tip for naming scenes includes using descriptive terms that state the scene's purpose, such as "Morning Wake Up" or "Movie Night.”

It's also helpful to include the location or room in the name, such as "Bedroom Morning Wake Up" or "Living Room Movie Night.” This helps to avoid any confusion when selecting the appropriate scene, especially if you have similar scenes for different rooms.
