motorization

PowerRise® with Platinum™ Technology This proprietary motorized lifting system combines both line-of-sight (using infrared technology) and "out-of-sight" control (using radio frequency technology) of your window coverings. To raise or lower individual window coverings, simply point the remote at the receiver eye (either built into the headrail or on a satellite eye) and press the UP or DOWN button to operate the window covering. Or select a group
(or groups) of window coverings to move together, even in multiple rooms.

Battery-powered
The PowerRise® with Platinum™ Technology battery-powered system is our easiest-to-install motorization option. No additional wiring is required. It makes raising, lowering and adjusting window coverings as simple as touching a button.

Hard Wired
Motorized Hunter Douglas window coverings are designed for guaranteed operation and precise control. Window coverings can be controlled via the elegant, contemporary-styled Platinum™ wall-switch with optional Platinum remote or through any home automation system.

The Platinum wall-switch fits standard Decora™ switch plates to blend with a room's décor. Two intermediate stop positions can be set at the wall-switch to meet your needs for privacy, while still allowing natural light into a room. Plus, integrating shade control into a home automation system has never been easier.

In conjunction with a Platinum wall-switch, shades can also be controlled from a Platinum remote control. This is the same remote that is used with Hunter Douglas PowerRise^®, PowerGlide^®, and PowerTilt™ products. Using the Platinum remote, window coverings can be controlled individually or in groups.

Hunter Douglas motorized window fashions can also be seamlessly integrated with any home automation system. Fashion and function are no longer exclusive concepts with Hunter Douglas motorized products.

Remote Control Window Coverings
It's so easy. It's Somfy!

Now you can push a button on your remote transmitter or wireless wall switch and watch as your fashionable horizontal blinds, shades, solar screens, or draperies roll up and down or open and close to conveniently provide shade from the sun. Now that using your window treatments is so easy with automation, you'll find yourself using them more and realizing their true benefits.

Somfy automation provides instant privacy when you want it and allows light to enter as you wish. That means more energy efficiency and better sun protection for your valuable furnishings and carpet - you gain improved control over the interior room environment. Further, window covering automation makes it so much easier to access hard-to-reach windows above a counter, above a bathtub or in a high foyer. Use of your automated window coverings is always available at the simple press of a button.

Automation also makes your blinds, shades and draperies last longer by eliminating the manual pulling, tugging and associated wear and tear. Because Somfy's automation systems are easily concealed behind a decorative headrail or valence, your automated window treatments will also have the same aesthetic appeal as a manual treatment and match any decor. Automated window treatments will also save you time, just press a button to change the position of your interior window coverings without having to go from room to room.

Somfy products are also safe and reliable; all of our plug-in motors and controls are UL and CSA approved for safe operation, while utilizing very little electricity. Our Wire Free^TM battery-powered motors of course don't require electricity and use a patented lithium battery technology that limits battery replacement providing an added benefit. Another extremely important safety factor for residential blinds and shades is that window treatment automation eliminates hanging cords, which can be dangerous around small children and pets.
